hi all

k now the problem im getting is, lets say im at 2500rpm, put foot flat to the floor, get to 10psi boost, car doesnt want to accelerate to its full potenial, feels like its pulling a caravan up until 5500rpm, after that it takes off an accelerates fine.

During its moment between 2500-5500rpm, if you gradually come off the throttle, till boost backs off to say 5-8psi, itll pull harder than if you mashed the pedal full throttle, when its really cold outside the car may pop an cough a little while said load issue is occuring, its not a miss, maybe a break down in the ignitor

Ive replaced afm, ecu, coilpacks and turbo(1st one shat itself), theres no boost leaks, wastegate is working fine, no boost controller connected, replaced fuel filter, replaced plugs.

mods are fmic, bosch 040, 3" turbo back(no cat), bov which is working fine and a pod, also the ecu i swapped has a small tune on it, i noticed slightly better performance once swapped over but still not getting full power

been scratchin my head for aaages over this, almost thinking about going thru and replacing cas, ignitor, knock sensors and tps

any help would be great guys

cheers

nathan

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
