bov opening at full throttle... relesing all pressure in a slit second will cause the turbo to spin way more than what its ment to...

mines failed at 14 aswell... i cant c this 'compressing the housing mod" being at all legit!

Not saying your bov is faulty but there is a mod suggested by a tuner. Take the bov off and you'll see a small hole about 1.5mm. Ideal: find a threaded screw or bolt and tap the hole to suit. Put the screw in and mark where it sticks out. take it out and cut it off there and cut a slot in it and screw it back in. Not so good: get a self tapping screw and do the same.

I ended up getting a GTR bov. It bolts up fine but the hose is bigger so you have to adapt the plumb back.

It's been debatable for a long time if that does any good. Some say yay, and others nay. But for 30sec worth of effort, it doesn't hurt to do it!

C34's along with all other rb25's have it.

Glad I found this thread. I've been turning up the boost on my series 2 and I think I hit fuel cut. I asked on the regular skyline pages and was told that disabling the boost sensor could be a bad thing because it leans out your AFRs, though I'm running rich (around 10.5) at full boost.

My Stagea has FMIC, Walbro,Iridium 1 grade colder plugs,new coilpacks,Apexi induction kit,decat,80mm cat back exhaust,gizmo ebc and hybrid steel internal turbo.

Reviving an old thread. My S2 has started doing this recently, i noticed my boost had dropped from everyday 10psi to 6psi according to my boost gauge, so i turned up the Turbotech boost controller but when i floored it, engine seemed to cut out at full boost, which still was under 10psi according to the gauge mind you. Never had this problem before even up to 12psi. Is the MBC shagged? or is the boost gauge wrong?

What should I do? Looking at getting Nistune done with the next big service, would that fix it?

Sounds like a boost/fuel cut to me.... Mine does it to

Yeah that's what it feels like, but why all of a sudden now? Maybe the boost gauge is buggered? Or maybe there is a boost leak somewhere? Whatever the case, i'll be booking in for the Nistune done this week I think.

i know im an M35 owner, but I will be interested if you find a result to fix the issue.

mines doing some sort of airflow cut at 20psi. but the airflow meter is clamped at 4.70v(well before AF Cut)

so i'll be keeping an eye on your result.

Have you checked the vac lines to the boost gauge? Could have a hole in it. It sounds like your hitting the factory ~14psi boost cut the S2's have, if your gauge/lines are faulty and the gauge is displaying a lower reading, then you may have turned the boost up too high and are hitting the limit.

Just a note on the boost dropping off- Why has no one said anything about the turbo can't make 14psi all the way to redline, shit it cant hold 10psi to redline, the VCT is there to fill the hole in the turbos abilities. I've got a turbosmart type 3 and its still loses boost. The boost drop off is because the turbo is too small. I'm pretty sure it's just one more factory floor for the poor old stag. Thanks nissan :(

If it is the boost cut, R and R or suchlike then a tune with a Nistune will fix it.

It just occured to me... would putting 100ron fuel cause R&R?

Cooler weather, might be hitting a tiny bit higher boost.

But never happened with colder weather before.

This sounds possible, will have another look at the lines. Edited by webng

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
