well i have just put a s2 rb25det into my 1993 r32 gtst...

mods:

apexi turbo

z32

power fc

splitfires

nismo 555cc

metal intake pipe with BOV return lines removed.

3inch turbo back

eboost

fmic

catch can

now it has been tuned abd makes 250rwkw on 15psi.

everytime i clutch in the revs die and the car turns off..

we pressure tested the whole system and found a leaking plenum gasket so replaced that and still stalling.

there are no other leaks in piping etc..

any ideas on what i can look out for?

cheers

yeh my stock BOV is blocked off..

and the bov return lines removed and a single metal intake pipe made up!

should i put the stock intake pipe in with the return lines and c how we go?

well, when I blocked up my stock BOV the car started stalling as if i had vent to atmosphere one on.

I couldn't fit it. Was really weird, so I just installed the stock one (with return line) on again and its fine.

I would say it would be the power fc. First of all what power fc are you using (d-jetro?) seeing as you have a afm im guessing you have the older one. I have a similar problem with mine. Atm making 400hp with the pfc and it drops idle alot when i put clutch in but doesnt stall. Any ive been told its coz of the pfc running a afm. Recommended to change the ecu or maybe try move afm a bit further from turbo as this will decrease the back pressure that the turbo gives off when you come off throttle.

??? If it is the afm that's causing the stall than infact it would be. As the older version doesnt not have a map and relys on the data from the afm to keep the engine idling correctly. That's y the d-jetro version and all dont run the afm anymore due to this issue of back pressure and the pfc stalling the engine.

Ok believe me or not - im telling you it is not the ECU.

l-jetro and d-jetro are two different versions - one does not superseed the other.

What you were told, was wrong. I've run AFM's on 370rwkw setups, no idle/stalling or otherwise if your tuner actually has a clue

Sounds like you were fed b/s just to have a new ECU put in due to either the tuner making money, or to hide the fact they do not know what to do.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
