Hey guys, had this problem for a while now and it's doing my head in. Mods are as follows:

Usual front mount, pod, exhaust, upgraded fuel pump, Greddy knockoff intake with 90mm throttle body. That's about it I think.

Anyways, when taking off on light throttle under load, the car will just die in the ass until I give it more throttle it will come back to life. Also has a brief delay in throttle response when revving in neutral. Changing the TPS values seems to alter the point at which the problem will occur. I've tried another TPS and the problem persists. The TPS is held there in a pretty dodgy fashion although it does remain in a static position and the readings it gives off don't seem erratic etc. Another thing is if it's held at a certain rev range, around 2500rpm, it will act like it's in limp mode and bounce off of 2500rpm back and forth.

Also, I'm aware it's the greatest thing running a mod like a FFP/TB whilst on stock ecu but seems to be doing okay and it's somewhat temporary, hopefully getting it on the dyno in the not too distant future. But really need to iron out this problem before that can happen.

I'm thinking it's either afm or tps related but have as previously mentioned, tried two different TPS's with the same result and have also resolder the joints in the AFM, but that doesn't rule it out obviously.

For the record, plugged my Nistune ecu in and there no fault codes and sensor parameters seemed fine.Although I did get a TPS fault once or twice when mashing the throttle quickly but I'm not too sure if that's out of the ordinary.

A lot to take in I know but any help is appreciated, this problem is driving me insane.

Cheers

Nah no bov. But, I found the fix! The 90mm throttle body spline was a fraction smaller than the stock skyline spline,which isn't obvious at a glance, which left a small amount of play in the TPS. So months of driving like ass was fixed by a dab of hot glue! hahaha

    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
