hi,

why would i be getting hesitation on boost? i can switch between 10 and 13 psi. there are no problems at all before the turbo starts spooling and hitting boost. but as soon as the turbo starts kicking in at around 3000rpm there is hesitation and lack of power.

i am running bcpr7es-8 ngk copper plugs. should i be running bcpr6es-8 instead with my boost? the plugs are new btw.

ive checked for leaks, nothing wrong there... i have new splitfire coilpacks. timing is at 15

could the tps be causing a problem like this?

any help would be appreciated.

thank you

Did you mess with the plug gaps at all? As in, did you open them up or something silly?....When did it start missing? After you changed the plugs?

i didnt mess with them. all 6 are brand new gapped at .8. the car isnt misfiring at all. ther basically isnt any power on boost, u can hear the turbo spooling up, but instead of feeling the power kicking in, the car hesitates/stumbles. this only happens in the rev range when the turbo starts kicking in, otherwise it drives perfectly.

ive also noticed that if i gradually accelerate this hesitation/stumbling goes away. but if i hit the accelerator hard, then u can definately feel the problem, the car basically gets no kick from the turbo.

im running a standard ecu which has been tuned

LOLLLL

What the hell did you expect?

Get an aftermarket ecu, nistune or someone with a real time tuning board to make an epprom chip up for you on a dyno. Oh and obviously pay someone to actually tune it properly, don't get a cheapskate $200 tune.

hey mate when it does its little spit, say youre on full throttle at about 3500-4500, does it feel like the cars pulling a caravan then once it gets up to say 5500 and beyond it clears up and makes full boost?

You do not know what he means by 'tuned', thus should not be jumping to conclusions.

The RB20 ecu has a socket for a rom chip that can be tuned (painfully) as well as any other daughterboard modified ecu.

To the OP, recheck your works and try installing the actuator from the turbo you removed and running stock boost.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • 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)?
