Hi guys, been searching everywhere for an answer but cant seem to find a pinpoint one so im hoping you guys can help.

Basically when i hit about 4.5-5 revs the car just seems to die in the ass and not want to go anywhere at flat foot but if i creepy up the revs at 1/2 throttle and then 3/4 throttle then flat foot it at higher revs it goes like a rocket but after giving it that little boot full the turbo seems to completely stop working and wont even spool up or flutter for ages unless it sits for awhile or car is turned off.

Now when im flat foot it just feels like its choking and struggles to move through the 4+ revs or even the lower revs when trying to accelerate a little quicker then normal.

also when putting the boost up to say 10-11 psi the turbo always spools but its like the ecu doesnt know what or how to handle this bit of extra boost and just wont go anywhere aswell.

hopefully i have described this decently enough to have you gurus tell me how to fix this issue, as it seems to be a trick to try and put into words how to describe whats happening lol.

specs- rb25det neo, all stock setup except for coilpacks which are probably less than a year old (splitfires), changed plugs less than 2 weeks ago.

car has only recently in the last couple weeks started having this issue and before that it was a fun and reliable car to thrash around.

cheers

Search nazis should be shot, a bit like small dick punctuation nazis...

anyway back on subject, you changed plugs now have issues? Is that the only thing you've done? What's your air filter like? Fuel filter?

Air/fuel/spark [emoji6] check those first

Either put everything back to stock, or tune the car.

You can't just go bumping the boost up without tuning, it will run like balls and perhaps throw a turbine wheel. It will run even worse if you have a highflow turbo you don't know about.

Everything is back to stock, was just driving home from the gym and it seems once the turbo spools up to a certain point and I off the accelerator it just stops working.

Plugs were gapped correctly and I'm under the impression I'll need to go for a tune, was just seeing if anyone has any ideas. I'm very new to the forced induction life, lesrn from

Your mistakes I guess.

Cheers guys :)

Turn you boost down, colder weather means denser air. More "air" read by the AFM means a higher TP Load, and because it's a stock ECU and tune you're hitting cells where timing is absolutely retarded as fk.

Boost doesn't equal TP Load, you might be able to run 10/11 psi in summer or so but when it's cold you'll hit those cells running the same boost.

I suggest you turn down the boost.

Have turned boost back to normal but is still having issues

Sounds like your AFM has dry joint inside it then. Cut it open and solder the pins first, there is a how to on here somewhere.

A new Z32 AFM and a tune would likely fix it too.

Thanks dude, I had a feeling it might be the afm so I'll go sort out a z32. I appreciate the feedback

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
