as per my quote, ER34 ECU has excess airflow and boost protection, ECR33 ecu does not, so you are hitting the map sensor cut

and there is no R34 GTST

R34 GTT

R34 GTV

R34 GTR

etc

Yea cool cool, point taken. I'll take it like a man and admit I was wrong about the model badging.

Lo boost on Greddy - gain 28% set gain 13% Start gain .46 gives me about 7.3 peak boost

Hi boost on Greddy - gain 38% set gain 18% start gain .55 gives me about 9.3 peak boost

Running "lo" boost is fine

Running "hi" = what you see on the dyno charts

Classic result of stock ECU interference. Get yourself an aftermarket ECU.

lol had same result with my old R33 GTST, made all of 99rwkw with a power line that looked like it was attached to a pogo stick... after market ecu in and hey presto 191rwkw and a much nicer driving car :down:

but there is a clear difference here

R33 has excess air flow cut

R34 has excess air flow cut and map sensor protection

you need to avoid both or "clamp" both to get the normal power gains when you add more boost

ie an safc or a piggyback to work around the excess airflow is ok, but the stock map sensor protection will still fire

run the map sensor protection into an expose vac line (so it always reads ambient pressure and never changes) and crimp the line (to stop vac leak)

that way when you boost it up, the ECU looks at the map sensor and only ever see's ambient pressure so it should never fire the excess boost protection

I remapped ecu for his car today and his problem fixed.

But his car is air leaking from somewhere so still AFR rich.(leaking noise from engine bay.)

I think around FMIC pipe.

Map sensor boost limiter start at 14psi.

So std turbo do not need remove limiter.( I think safer for std turbo)

mapping the car was a mistake.

why map a a car with a boost leak? the turbo is obviouly running flat out to try and keep the boost up as well.

then once he fix's the boost leak, usually the owners dont change any mapping or even get the car looked at... whats going to happen to the engine then ?

you should get the boost leak fixed then get toshi to check his tune. IMO

He does not know ecu problem or another problem.

So I install remap ecu to his car then go to road test.

His problem is fixed by remap ecu.

But big air leak noise from engine bay on freeway.( he say this noise after install FMIC)

Also AFR very rich.

So I install base remap data to ecu this time.(did not tune)

My feel around 30KW more than before.

He will fix air leak his self ( because FMIC fitted his self) then he will come back to me for re tune ecu.

R34 has excess air flow cut and map sensor protection

What does it sound/feel like when it hits map sensor protection?

I am running a bigger turbo with 18psi but still on my standard turbo 10psi tune so am being very careful until its tuned. I gave it a little bit and it made a bit of a 'pop' noise. Was a little worried but everything feels fine afterwards.

pop can be lean so take it easy :P

Airleak seems to fit well. The measured airflow would have been much higher than the 9psi boost would suggest. Hence getting well into the rich & retard zone of the standard map.

Yea taking off all intake pipework and cooler pipework this afternoon. Will check all vac hoses and exhaust gaskets too. Will even try installing the SMIC and put the standard BOV back on too. I hope it's something very simple and easy.

Driving it at all is stupid if you've changed the turbo and more than doubled the airflow. Don't get it on boost at all.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
