hey all, dont know if you guys have ever had this problem, i cant hit rev limiter, i can hit 5500rpm and then the car just dies, throttle wide open, boost drops to 0 and car stops driving but still keeps revs to 5500rpm, the engine just stops pushing........no boost no pull no nothing, just stays there, with foot to the floor.

cant for the life of me figure out what it is.

but sometimes it does go away, but instead, at 5500rpm it cuts out for 2 seconds and then just keeps going as if nothing happened..

any helpful info would be great.

RB25 neo motor, no TCS in the car all stock besides exhaust and coilpacks.

yeah i got stock ecu too wit mild mods and my ecu

freaks out when i try tap into the boost i even tryed resettin it

but when i put a nistune in it runs sick

^^ or ya spark is breakin down coilpacks plugs

but generally when that happens its more of a stutter than a

complete cut

no fuel cut though, it doesnt cut out, it just stops accelerating. boost drops, and it will just stay at 5500rpm, wont drop below that and wont go above that... bloody weird, cleaned AFM, new plugs, and new coils. checked for any leaks, nothing. reset ecu, nothing... im lost now.

if i didnt just get fired, id opt for a Power FC, but gotta save money now.

sticking wastegate maybe?????

also just found this out, it has one of 2 problems,

Problem 1: any gear it wont rev up past the 5-6k mark but if it does manage to rev normally, problem 2 occurs

Problem 2: 1st gear, revs and hits boost and its all normal, hit 2nd and it has a 1 second cutout at 5-6k rpm, change to 3rd and it will continually cut out 5-6k rpm...... and same in 4th, cant hit above 5k rpm in 5th, it can only get to 180kmh

so if its not problem 1 its problem 2...... pissing me off!!!!!! RAAAAGE QUIT!!!!

oh, bad news for me today, i decided to install a boost gauge today to see what the turbo is running, as we all know i cant read or make out what the stock boost gauge says, it says -7 all the way to +7 mmhg, so connected the new gauge which is psi, i plugged it in between the manifold and purge valve, and took the car for a run, the boost gauge hit 13psi at 5000rpm in first and hit 15.5psi in 2nd and 16psi in 3rd. so if this is anything to go by, im pretty screwed.

all i did was disconnect the boost solenoid and did the constant 7psi trick as talked about, or so i hoped. guess it seems to be a 15psi trick instead.....

just changed back to original solenoid, and it runs back at normal PSI, 350mm/hg which is 6.8psi, so the original boost gauge is pretty spot on. before it went beyond the +7 on the boost gauge (700mm/hg= 13.5psi) damn!

so the 2 pipes that go into the solenoid, i originally bypassed, hose-solenoid-hose, i bypassed that and just connected the 2 hoses directly without the solenoid in the middle. thought it would just sit at 7psi like people said it would, but it didnt did it??

    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
