My car was tuned in June and we managed to extract 178 rwkw and 408 Nm. The problem then (and partly that was because the guy was not familiar with e-manage features) was that when boost gets up to the 13.5+ psi (0.93 bar) mark the engine cuts out. Differing theories on what caused this include spark plugs, coil packs, injectors maxing out, boost limiter.

I've just recently played around with the e-manage and found a feature that is able to eliminate boost cut by clamping the air flow meter signal at the rpm point where boost cut occurs.

The boost cut has now gone and I've just run up to 14.7 psi (1.04 bar)!

Good thing these computers. :)

The air flow meter probably maxed out - mine reached around 5volts airflow on around 1bar... so I'd watch what I do with fuelling after the point that happens. Someone I know blew their RB25DET recently by not compensating for what happens after 100% flow of the AFM is reached - so more air, no more fuel, lean out - detonation, death :ghost:

Fuel Pump?

:confused:...why would he need a fuel pump. LOL, its a late model R34 with std turbo and i doubt it has a lazy / failing fuel pump and at that power i wouldnt expect that he needs extra rail pressure...coudl be wrong but what make s you think he need a new fuel pump?

I think the guy solved the problem, hence his post. It was boost cut was still set at 13.5psi, he changed it and his car is now sweet

:confused: I always seem to confuse others whenever I post...

The air flow meter was definitely maxing out hence the power cut: too much air too little fuel. There is the danger of detonation but that is fixed by adding a bit more fuel where its needed through the injector control map of e-manage. The boost limiter cut feature of e-manage "tricks" the ecu into thinking that the AFM has not maxxed-out yet but in reality more air is being pushed through (dangerous). Therefore, this situation needed to be compensated by adding more fuel.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
