RB25 hitting R&R or air cut?

Hey guys I'm having a problem where my RB25 is hitting either hitting rich & retard or an air cut based on my research. It's a completey stock RB25 with a manual boost controller, Walbro255 and FMIC.

I had a dyno day today so I got a manual boost controller and turned the boost up to 11 PSI and it made 230hp and 180ftlbs so obviously something is wrong. It will get to about 6000RPM under full throttle and then hit some kind of cut and refuse to rev any higher but if you go partial throttle you can rev all the way to redline but it will hold 11lbs so it's not leaking boost or a broken waste gate. 

I drove it home and tried removing the boost sensor because maybe the ECU was switching to a knock map because it was seeing too much boost but that didn't fix the problem. I turned the boost back down and I'm getting a steady 7 psi but I'm still hitting some type of cut at 6000rpm at full throttle but it will rev fine under partial throttle. 

I read somewhere that it might be a laurel maf which is smaller than the Skyline maf so it would max out on air flow a lot quicker? I was wondering if anyone could corroborate that. I feel like it's maf related either way but a fresh set of eyes on this problem can't hurt regardless. 

Edit: I don't know if it's relevant but I have a printout of the dyno sheet and it's definitely not happy. I can post pictures if it'll help.

I'm having the exact same problem at the moment under throttle at 6000 I'm getting a splitter and boost cut out I thought for some reason it may have to do with wastegate maybe being seized or stuck open going to have a check on it tonight

It's a stock RB25 ECU with no tune. My friend loaded his Nistuned chipped Z32 ECU with a stock map and we tried to run it and it was running so insanely rich that any throttle would flood it. So I'm not sure if there was a problem with his ECU or my car.

From my understanding the ECU learns the new map from knock sensors after you reset? I don't have any knock sensors and I put a 500ohm resistor on the knock sensor so the ECU doesn't see anything wrong. Is resetting the ECU still advisable?

I didn't get a lower harness with my engine so I don't have anything to plug into the knock sensor. 

I did some reading and it seems like if I reset my ECU then it will keep trying more aggressive maps until it detects knock so I don't think that's gonna work.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
