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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
