I have ordered new o2 sensor and coolant sensor, I get terrine fuel economy and a miss I'm idle so it's on its way out, and have ordered coolant temp sensor. I don't know for sure it's but the car never gets to operating temp on the dash dial. It sits a 8 o'clock sorta angle. What I read was that the coolant temp sensor can cause the huge regarding of the vct and running rich because it thinks the engine may be over hearing as sorta protective mode. I had intermittent check engine light when engine would ping hasn't pinged since new coil packs however. So from what I hear it is pre ignition will update once I install the new sensors holding for the best

Hey, sorry to bump an old topic but I didn't want to create a new one as this is very similar to the issue i'm having.

Curious if your repairs sorted out your issue? I've replaced coils, plugs, soldered the MAF and fixed a vacuum leak but my car still doesnt like revving past 5k once its hot. Doesnt matter what gear, can even be neutral. Just breaks up like crazy :(

It reaches full boost well below 4k(got the restrictor bypassed) and holds fine until 5k. It also does it even if i just use partial throttle, so I dont think fuel or boost leak is the issue. Its running the stock original fuel pump but I can smell lots of fuel when It does it in neutral.

 

i'm wondering if my MAF just isnt any good. Or for some reason its not getting sufficient spark. I'll have to re-check my plugs and maybe swap a known good MAF. It just started all of a sudden. It ran mint up until a few weeks ago.

 

Edit: i'll check out the ECT sensor. My gauge reads fine and dandy as always but ya never know!

It seems fine in all weather until it gets to operating temp. Even once warm it still idles and drives fine. It’s just when I try to put any power down above 4k rpm it sputters and pops like crazy. It’s frustrating not being able to use the fun half of the rev range haha

 

Edit: It also does it if I bring the revs up slowly, and does it in neutral. Boost is good until 4k. Then it obviously starts dropping as the engine starts to misfire.

I tried pushing to redline the one time and it just wouldnt make it past 5500. The cloud of smoke behind the car was rediculous haha so its getting fuel. It holds max boost until it starts to misfire so I can only assume its not a boost issue(maybe i’m wrong?).

 

i dunno. Cars....

That sounds just like the problem i am javing mate.  Mine runs prefect when cold and as soon as it gets to op temp the boost wont kick in till about 3k rpm and then after 4k rpm it pops and cuts in and out. 

I have tried new spitfire coils and plugs gapped to 0.8mm, manual boost controller and redoing vac lines and its still doing it

Could be fuel related. But it seems odd that it would be fine (did a 7krpm pull) without issue when it was just below its normal operating temp on the gauge(I know, I know, just wanted to test).

 

i also find if I sit in traffic for a while on a hot day, the rpm at which it starts acting up drops significantly. Like the one day I was in stop and go and it was doing it at around 3000rpm.  Almost like something is getting heaksoaked. It feels like weak soark/coils but i’ve tried two sets of coils and plugs lol

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
