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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
