hi everyone,

i have a harsh airflow drop after ~6300 rpm, at aproximately ~4,4v at Z32 MAF. It feels like i just lift foot of the pedal. When i look at the Datalogit charts i can see that the airflow drops earlier than boost.

I suspected the stock rubber suction pipe being sucked inside under boost and just changed it to a silicon type ebay item enforced with metal rings. I also changed the air filter to the new apexi panel filter in the stock box. but no use.

the cars still shuts after ~6300 rpm.

what else can it be? some kind of full-throttle compressor surge or what? is there any way to diagnose suction pipe sucking itself on the road without a dyno?

p.s. it`s rb25 with rb26 crank and rb26 forgies, hks 256/8,8 cams and GT2871R (without port shroud) running 0.8 - 1 bar boost.

thanks.

Check exhaust? does boost drop off? timing etc.

boost drops _after_ airflow.

timing is ok.

exhaust... it`s a split dump pipe from ebay, frontpipe + decat pipe in one piece and fujitsubo exhaiust. the only new part is a splitdump but it seems ok. how should i check it?

and one more thing: usually the first run at is ok -- the car pulls ok to the redline. but other runs at 1 bar have this problem. On very hot days after traffic the problem appears even at 0.8bar.

i had a very similar problem and it turned out to be bad coils. gets worse as you run more boost, and the sudden drop is very violent, mine also performed slightly better in colder conditions.. if its the coils then you run the risk of doing damage to your bearings if you continue to drive it like this. whatever it is, stay off the boost/revs until its fixed

Knock sensors, you get 1 rev to red line then it will retard once its gets to a certain rpm untill the ignition is turned off then back on.

to check this, just turn engine off while moving then turn on again and rev right through to red line to see if its gone and then returns

on next gear rev to red line.

Faulty AFM?

Try swapping with another.

but what is it`s fault? its voltage is ok. it`s voltage drop is ok too as it follows real "pedal lift" effect. but thanks for advise - i`ll try to find another z32 afm.

ok let me ask in other way: is there anyone here running gt2871r or smth similar on rb25 with the stock rubber suction pipe (or silicon type from perfomancewise) and stock airbox? do you have any issues like written above?

thank you.

I think your on the money already. The intake pipe sucks in easier when its hot. I fixed this issue temporarily with some coat hanger wire wrapped around the intake pipe to keep it circular. The silicon intake pipe without rings fixed it and flows better. this was on a Rb25 with GT2835.

Yep HKS GTRS on S2 Stagea with K&N filter. The cut and insert solid pipe per rev210 and issue gone.

You still need to be mindful that the filter can be a restriction causing the pipe walls to suck in so the filter should be cleaned if dirty or replaced as needed.

yes, thanks, as i wrote new apexi panel filter was just installed.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
