I have tinkered with my Stag and brought the boost up 3psi by bypassing the bleed solenoid. The car ran great for a few day but has now seemed to have learnt it has no control over the boost level and fuel cuts my fun.

Has anyone worked out how to bypass this??? I noticed there is a boost sensor in adition to the MAF.....I figure I could bleed off air to the MAP but the MAF would still read the same.....

I don't know how your boost cut works. Apparently on the R34 there is a sensor which cuts boost that can be fooled by a resistor in the circuit (its somewhere here on this site) but I don't know about your v6. I gues it depends on your long term plans. With the range of cars that you have i guess this is not going to be your drag car so you won't want to fork out for a Vipec ecu. I would suggest you build a DFA or buy a SAFC and fit that to give your engine some tunability.

It Fuel cuts, It seems to learn that it can't control boost. If i use snow mode its ok for a while then cuts again. How have you installed your boost controller?

All I have done so far is removed the std high-low valve. gives High boost all the time. instead of retarding it in low RPM.

did you unplug it? or leave it plugged in?

try the opposite of what you have now. i remember some nissans have a sook if you left them plugged in, or not plugged in when it wasnt being used..... might be worth a try!

In my car i have a apexi boost controller that controls the boost levels and i left the existing boost solenoid plugged in electrically but blocked off all the hoses.

i know its a while back.

but did it make any difference?

If you loop off the boost solenoid and then run the line from the intake in to the suction pipe it will allow the boost level to build a lot higher.

Potentially catastrophic levels.. Id get a decent (read, doesn't max out at 15 or 20 psi) boost gauge to ensure youre not making too much if you do bypass the boost solenoid

With an Impul, yes... but not so with the Stock ECU.

If I loop the solenoid line and bypass it with the intake line, I max out at 1bar (where I hit the cut) whereas if I leave it plumbed as per stock, I hit around 1.3bar or so before cut

Edited by iamhe77

if youre taking the factory solenoid out of the equasion and have the boost line from the intake going down to the wastegate actuator, then youre running whatever the actuator is set at. if you remove the pipe to the actuator completely, then youre running whatever the turbo can do. ie, the wastegate will probably not open at all! dangerous for more than just your turbo.

just go EBC and make sure youre exactly where you want to be.

Only if the restrictor is removed from the solenoid line.

if there is no air going to the actuator due to the lack of vacuum pipe going to it, then it wont matter where the restrictor is :)

however, the restrictor is the first mod that should be done to all turbo cars :D

yeh mine seems to climb to about 16-17psi before hitting cut. i dont know if its when i did the BB conversion, apparently the turbo guy likes to put washers on the Actuator flap to hold boost a little better..

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
