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.

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.

    • 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
