hey guys,

recently i had problems with my coil packs as it seems to pop/fart/missfire when i hit +3k rpm then found that my 3 of my coil packs had hairline cracks so i epoxy-ed it and changed my plugs since the oppurtunity was there. problem solved able to hit +4k rpm no problem but today I had the itch to launch but noticed that when i 80% full throttle it boost then cuts off/jerks hard then boost again at around 5k rpm....is this a coil pack problem? fuel starve? or voltage starve? or u what? no problem when i accelerate normally n hit boost but full throttle it does that.

+1 for asking what boost you are running.

i'm guessing you still have the stock ecu and your boost is up around 13psi, yes? if so, you are hitting the ecu boost protection. basically when the AFM sees too much airflow for a given point in the load/rpm scale it backs off

supporting mods i have is FMIC, exhaust system, Turbosmart boost tee controller set at 7clicks (apparently suppose to be equivalant to 7psi not sure), stock ecu, stock turbo.....

today took a better look at my boost gauge n it hits 1.3 bar which is strange when i set my controller at 7...hmm then watched the stock boost gauge(dash gauge) noticed that it hits +7 then cuts so now the problem is defined....i reduced the boost to 4 clicks but still does the same thing...turned it off completely and still hitting +7 .,,,its as if the turbo is boosting by it self or somethin....any ideas?

lol wow - dude, stop touching you car. You are lucky you have not blown it up, and i am not saying that in a joking sense, im deadly serious.

7 "clicks" will be 7-10psi above the BASE pressure. Factory you run 7psi, so +7-10PSI more and you are talking 16-17 through the factory turbo and then some... no surprise you are hitting 1.3 bar (absurd pressure)

1. You are hitting Rich & Retard

2. You are basically putting the turbo in to absolute danger zone running that much boost - it will disintergrate. Anymore than 11-12psi is a no-no.

3. +7 is the MAX the factory gauge shows, this is roughly 14psi

4. If the turbo fails, it CAN kill a motor. Especially @ that level of boost, and compressor speeds etc, bad bad bad shit can happen.

Take it to a professional for gods sake - seriously.

You also make no mention of a fuel pump, this is also ridiculously dangerous.

I'd be highly surprised if some form of damage has already been done.

lol,sorry for laughing but i know a guy like you who decided to fiddle with his boost when you have no idea what your doing.he decided he wanted to run his car on 20psi on a pretty much stock r33 and blew it up.

i bet your car is damaged from this and if it aint showing now it will soon.

As long as Nissans little EGT (exhaust gas temperature) sensor is doing its job the engine shouldnt have taken to much internal damage, the turbo though can easily been heavily damaged.

I see you've got a aftermarket exhaust system, have you still got the EGT connected? It looks like a small lambda sensor, placed right before the cat.

What factory EGT sensor?

The only sensor there is after the turbo is the O2 sensor, and the Cat temp warning sensor. The cat temp sensor being plugged into the cat itself.

Is it NOT a EGT sensor in the true sense as it does not have anything to do with the ECU.

All it does it flash up a dash warning light for CAT overheat.

just to add to this thread,

my problem is similar... although i only get it in 2nd gear on full throttle... hits about 3500rpm, miss fires then full boost again... any other gear on full throttle there is no missfire.. running stock boost

(mods 3" exhaust, turbosmart boost tee, greddy oil cooler)

I could be wrong i guess but as i've been told earlier the ecu change the timing if it runs to lean, this 'cause of the cat temp sensor and knock sonsors giving a to high value.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
