Boost problem RB25det neo

Hello, I have a s2 rs4s stagea and I’ve been noticing issues with my boost after installing a gauge for it.

 

when I start the car up, let it warm up and then drive I usually get around 8ish pounds but after driving it for a bit or getting the 8psi in 4th gears it’s like my boost gets cut in half and it will only run around 4psi which is a very noticeable difference.

im just confused because I haven’t done really anything to the car other than an exhaust and one of the fuel cut defencer, I also have my bov to atmosphere at the moment and was going to see if having it recirc would help or just blocking it off again like i originally had it. I’ve heard things about the boost solenoid and the lines for it but unsure which spot I’d need to look in.

 

any info helps greatly!! 
thanks in advance

 

-Ron

Definite potential cause of problems. Get rid of it. You don't need it. There is Nistune in the world.

Yes. Well. Do....

again, because, obvious reasons. Your ECU hates you for having it VTA.

This could be what is driving the boost drop, because the stock boost pressure is about 5 psi (on the spring) and the solenoid bleeds it up to about 7.

Yeah I’m gunna have to guess that’s it’s the solenoid because it starts at 7 then goes to 5 then sticks at 5 so it’s like it’s runnin stock pressure all the time, thinking of getting one of the manual boost controllers too see if that helps at all but would rather fix it so it stays at 7 before that.

Still debating on a power fc or nistune, the plug and play with the hand controller is a big plus to me, and For nistune I’d have to drive 6 hours to get the board installed and hope they can get it done and tuned in one day cause it’s my daily driver hahaha

Nistune mate. Hand controller in 2022 is a f**king joke. Don't you have  a laptop?

nah, actually only have a desktop pc. been lookin for a laptop so i could tune eventually but hard to find one that isnt complete garbage is hard.

Any laptop will run tuning software, the required specs are so small they don't even factor in.

Buying a power fc because you can't figure out how to buy a laptop is pretty out there.

I always say this on Guild of EFI on Facebook, if the laptop can load up pornhub then it will load up any modern tuning software.

1920x1080 screen is good.

Lmaoo fair enough honestly thought the tuning software would use a bit more power, shows how much I know I guess hahaha

In all seriousness, near new 11th gen i7 15" laptops go for ~$500 (plus some costs) at auctions all the time. You'd be mad to go to bookface ripoffplace which is where people who buy them from the auctions resell them for a profit.

My RS4 had boost leakage at the throttle body rubber union, it was hardened by time & heat. Perked up a bit after sorting that. A bit later head gasket failed, hmmm. That teardown also revealed exhaust manifold warpage (leakage was un audible). Different beast now.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
