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.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
