I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the problem with my skyline. I recently just swapped a RB20DET NICS version into my R31 skyline, and when i did the conversion i also added a FMIC. The engine used to run fine before the conversion and the FMIC but now it has problems with the boost fluctuating all over the place. In 1st its fine cause the boost only goes to about 4 psi but in 2nd and above the boost can jump all the way to 10 psi and then immediately drop to 0 straight after while im still accelerating. Im 99% sure that all the sensors are wired in correctly and i have no bleed valve so the boost should be standard ( 7psi i think). I cant figure out whats wrong, so hopefully someone can shine some light on the situation.

I haven't taken it all the way to redline in 1st yet but it feels as if it would make it all the way to the maximum standard boost, but the gearing is different so the load is not as high. The boost solenoid is connected so i should have standard boost. The only other thing i can think of is the boost sensor which operates the standard boost guage in the dash, which i removed to fit an aftermarket guage, but due to the wiring i assume this has no input to the ecu

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
