i just got a intercooler and upped the boost with a T-piece

im running 12 but i noticed it spikes to about 14 sometimes.

now my prob is when driving fast (racing or whateva) and i try to floor is and hold max boost past 3-4K the car it starts to go crazy..

it feels like its missing or hitting a limiter (fuel??) the car just start jolting really hard ..

its crazy..

whatcha'z recon??

Dyno testing won't replicate real world driving loads.

If you don't believe me, turn down the boost and see if it still does it. Then turn it up again, and floor it again. And then turn down the boost and floor it... And then turn up the boost and floor it...

Repeat as many times as it takes until you realise that I'm right :D

oh and turbosmart do a fuel cut defender in a valve and electronic type for around $100-180 and im not sure if it is a good thing/safe to use but you could also put on a air/fuel ratio meter to keep an eye on so that you know if it leans out.

oh and its good to hear your cars back on the road and i cant wait to see that front bar with a nice fat cooler in it :D

lol merli..

thanx for the tips..

u too ash

i just went for a drive with my old man..

it definatly looks to me (who doenst really know much but anyway) like its boost cut..

when it spikes to about 13-14psi the car jolts and the boost drops down to whateva. if u keep accelerating itll go back up to 14 and jolt again.. so on and so forth..

stupid cars!!

I have experienced similar. As Merli said its the standard ECU overboost protection, which is not such a bad thing as you don't REALLY want to run a stock R33 turbo at 14-16PSI unless you are looking for a good excuse to buy a new one.

If you want to stop it doing this either turn down the boost, get a boost cut defender or buy a PFC as Merli said.

I've got the same problem, engine runs smooth until you hit full boost, at which point it goes really shuddery. Got mine tuned by Mark as well, need to take it back and get it adjusted.

Was wondering what it was, if it's just the boost cut i'll be a happy boy.

Hey hype didnt merli have a power fc he wanted to part with :);)

hehe go the full hog mate :uh-huh:

Yeah i hope to be back on road soon but i find out today if i get my new paint or not and if i do car will be stripped down tomorrow and if not the new ignition will be put in and lights sorted.

I also have a truck turbo on its way up from melb :uh-huh: so i got some stupid ideas of what to do with it.

I didn't suggest the PowerFC because I'm selling one. I suggested it because it's the easiest and best solution to your problem.

I ran 0.9 bar boost (14psi) on my R33 GTS-t for about 8 months, and it didn't miss a beat.

Anything over 10psi, and the standard ECU starts to retard timing and you get a huge hole in your power curve.

Anythin over 14psi, and the ECU will cut fuel, making your car seem like it just hit a brick wall for a second. That's the overboost protection you're experiencing.

The PowerFC fixes both the retarded timing and overboost protection problems that you are facing.

Here's a dyno chart of my car on standard boost, and then when I tried to dial in 0.9 bar... This wasn't the boost cut, it still pulled smoothly, but you can see where the ECU goes "OH SH1T... too much boost" and retards the timing:

Here's a dyno chart of the car's power after I put the PowerFC in. No other mods since the previous dyno graph I posted above.

merli i knew you wanted to sell it so i just gave the hint to hype to help fix his prob and give him more power dont think im telling him to buy cause you said what you said and because you have one for sale it doesnt really worry me who you sell it to but im sure he wouldnt mind one after spending what he did and to have this prob pop up (which cant be helped at that boost) so if he could get a 2nd hand power fc for a good price (and we know your a good guy and look after your stuff) that will make him happy once more :)

In the end i just wanted to say to hype that you had one for sale merli because it would be worth it for him to get one.

HAHAHAHA... That has to be the world's longest sentence ;)

/me gives Ash a few periods and commas :)

No worries dude... I was just emphasising that this is honest information, not some ploy to sell my PowerFC.

Running a completely stock engine, and i do mean completely stock as in standard intercooler, turbo, the lot, the only aftermarket stuff was a blitz BOV and an Apexi F-Manage piggyback ECU running at .85 bar i was able to get 252HP at the wheels... That was at a dyno day, but i did get it dyno'd ages before that and got 245HP at the rears...

If you wanna see a better quality picture just go to my website then look under dyno...

well i turned down the boost tonight...

i think what happened is when the boost was being set it was a really hot day.. so when set it was boosting properly to what it was ment to (12psi)...

but when after i let it cool down and took it out in the cool night air it was goin beyond what it was set at .. (to 14psi)

would i be right in assuming this??? :D

so my old man and i went out tonight and set it back to 12psi on the nice cool night air.. not shes running properly.. its hold 12 all the was to redline.. MUCH unlike b4 :D

Be carefull with your fuel pump.

Providing you fuel pump is not leaning out and already providing good power (its almost dead):

Buy a std generic bleed valve and a check valve which is like a one way valve.

Hook it up to your fuel pressure reg with the check valve obviously between the plenium and the bleeder.

THEN.... slap it on a dyno for approx $140

Tune the Bleeder and the Boost/Timing and get around 170rwkw.

If you fuel pump is crapping its self well you will already be making close to that power level.

Remember some dyno's read different lower/higher.

The figure of 170rwkw is going from two DD dyno's here in SA.

Tilbrooks and RPM In Adelaide.

Both of their Dyno's read very very close.

Some others read higher a lot higher.

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
