Ok Guys wondering if you can figure this out.. I boosted the car this morning & it hit peaked boost @ 22psi then the car backed off the power like a cooler piping came loose. Checked power FC level, ID% went to 76% n only rev it to 4700rpm. Pulled over all piping tight n vac hose all good.. I only usually peak 61-62% IDC.

Have you got the boost control kit installed or even just the map sensor? This is the only way it will cut the engine because of boost. Only other way is if your airflow voltage is to high that will give a similar effect.

Look at paulr33's power fc FAQ for the answers

Hey mate i have a HKS EVC 5 and Power FC that still uses a Z32AFM. I am thinking that the Spark plugs is not keeping up or something.. n just dumping fuel??? Only thing i can think of is turning the boost gain down a bit. What is the Max volt on the Afm so i can check it if i try again. Knock level was low @ 10.

If it was spark plugs it would be a misfire, not a cut. Misfire is usually not as violent as a cut,and very identifiable from the sound. I wouldn't play around with the boost controller either, it's more likely to be something that has changed. What boost do you normally run? I assume the EVC 5 has a limit function like the Greddy Profec B?? What is that set to?

EVC is set to 21psi.. if it goes above 21.5psi it will auto turn it down to by 0.6psi and it will beep. I don't think the EVC will cause the back off in power?? I have changed the turbo intake pipe from 2.75" to 4" n the Bov was slightly open at idle so i tightened it up so it's just closed.

No, it shouldn't.

t really does sound like a vacuum leak though, are you sure none of your hoses are loose or split? Is it idling ok? Even if it is, it could be a hose that's split and only leaking at higher vacuum/boost. Could also be AFM as 89CAL said, max voltage should be around 5V. But how much power are you making? I'd be surprised if you were maxing the Z32.

Yeh it ldles fine, Made 370rwhp on a roller dyno last time i checked. 350 on hub dyno with low 10 afr's. Split hose or vacuum leak?? I think i have checked all of them & they are fine. I boosted it again on the way home n turned boost gain down a bit n it peaked 20psi n ran fine. Even the BOV slightly open it was still idling fine.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
