Did a search and couldnt find much to answer my question.

So Im looking at an R34 and the owner has fitted a gtr-s (quoted as running 11psi) but has retained the standard ecu? car has been driving like this for 15,000km (18 months).

Does this sound right?

Surely the stock ecu is struggling to work out what is going on and the car would drive pretty ordinarily... i'm kinda assuming he's had something in there ie pfc, which he wants to keep post sale. Mods include - ebc, full exhaust, 040 pump, front mount and zorst.

Cheers

A point about your question...

The ECU has no idea what size turbo you are running...The good thing about engine management platforms that use MAFs is you can do a lot of mods and the stock ECU will handle it. Safely!!.. Platforms that use MAPs are a completely different ball game...

All the stock ECU is worried about is airflow. It matches fuel to airflow. If your airflow exceeds a threshold (which increases with rpm) it progressively cuts spark. This 'is Not' R&R. R&R is triggered by pre-ignition. This is one of the most misunderstood things on these forums.

I run a stock RB25DET ECU on an RB30DET with a GT3076R and have done so for 2 1/2 years now. It makes around 280rwkw and afrs are safe. EGTs are good as well. I get around airflow cut by changing exhaust cam timing and introducing a little bit of lag. The ECU doesn't like too much airflow at too low an rpm and if you avoid this, the setup works well.

This is not crap and dyno runs were done by a well respected tuner on these forums...

So IMO I think your engine will be fine. Airflow cut is the saviour and will occur well before any overly lean conditions occur...

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
