Im getting Power Cut for a split second between 3500/4500 rpm under full throttle. If i wind down the boost (below 15psi) i dont get it but over that i get this power cut. From 5000rpm to redline i dont get it at any boost.

I am thinking its the AFM maxing out, but reading from the SAFC i dont get 100% Air Flow until about 5000prm, so why would it do this below 5000rpm with Air Flow between 80/90%.

Is it Boost Cut, do the Series 1 R33 GTST have boost cut???

Its quite temperamental, sometimes i get it and sometimes i dont but its always in the midrange where boost is at its peak.

Im running a HKS 2530 too.

Well the factory torque peak figure for the rb25det is at 4400rpm (295nm)

Generally where peak torque is, this is where the motors volumetric efficiency is at its greatest (where it can take in maximum air per cycle)

Thats basically what cams do, they move the peak volumetric effiency point around the rev range. And where the rev point that the motor can use maximum air is, you are going to get maximum torque.

So anyway, back to the point, around 4400rpm is where the RB25 cams allow the motor to take in maximum air.

So my guess would be that is why its cutting there. (Thats the point where the motor makes peak torque and uses maximum airflow it can, which must be just tripping the Air Flow meter cut)

You could always get a fuel cut defender, this holds the air flow meter voltage as high as it can without actually cutting.

Some more info on VE here.

And remember if you only get it sometimes, I bet its on the cooler days that it cuts out because the air is more dense. Which will cause the AFM to read more air, naturally.

Yes generally get it on cooler days.

Looks like its time for a Z32

Hey Robo's, I had the same problem too after installing my Profec B. Everybody is either telling me this or that but no one can give me a good solution to this cutting off problem, I paid a visit to one of our tuning shops and the mechanic listened intently to what I had to say then he walks over to my car,popped the hood and unpluged the MAP sensor driving the stock in dash boost meter. Then he said " Now take it for a spin and see if it's still happening" . Took it out gave it a good wallop and NO MORE CUT OFFS! Everytime!

Now I gotto go get me a boost meter.

Where abouts is the map sensor driving the indash boost meter ?

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
