hey, i just put on a gfb boost controler (best $70 that i have ever spent as it holds the boost alot better than my previous turbosmart bleed and doesnt spike as much)

Im 97% sure its set up correctly, but im getting like what would happen if you hit the rev limiter? - thats the best discription i could give...

is this a fuel cut or will i need better spark plugs as the boost is blowing the sparks out?

any one else had this problem? or kno what wrong?

thanks guys.

:)

i raced a s2 r33 lastnight and was dead even, and i had that possible fuel cut. if i fixed this problem id chop him. in my lil s1 33.
Their is no difference, it all comes down to mods and the driver.

Dont race... and if you do.... dont post it.....

As previously stated many times before....

Question "Why are you running a $70 part in a $15,000+ car"????

Do it properlly, buy an elecronic boost controller and fuel cut defender.....

Also i hope you have an exhaust and front mount... 11psi is the absolute max you should run on a stock setup...

Ppl's,

I had a problem this morning with my R33 96 S2, i have had it for a couple of days. It has a FMIC, exhuast, BOV, POD & running at 11psi (so they say).

I have given it a bit through 2nd & 3rd gear, but this morning i was in 4th@60-70kph & when i accelerated and it hit boost, it cut out, is this the boost cut.

Just dont see why i did not get this problem in 2nd or 3rd gear.

Any idea's.

PS, i dont know how they are making it do 11psi, no EBC or adjustable T piece in the engine bay, but i was told it hit 12-13 psi when it was dynoed.

PROBLEM SLOVED!!!!!!! :headspin:

i did my homework on this problem and found that it was misfire... ( The extra boost blows out the spark before combustion ) As the stock sparkies are only set up for stock boost. When looking through my lil bros hot4's mags i found a 3page article on sparkplugs. Regapping your plugs from 1.1 (stock) to 0.8 should fix this problem. AND DID MINE :headspin:

There is a cheep way to fix this if your on a budget and a expencive way. i chose the expencive way...

CHEEP WAY.

Go to your local hardware store and get a spark plug gapping tool. Not sure what they are called but they tell you what size your gap is.

Pull your plugs out and tap the tip on a hard surface, then with your new gapping tool ajust it to 0.8, put your sparkies back in, up tha boost n take it 4 a spin.

You can get aftermarket 0.8 pre gapped plugs from autobahn for under $5ea.

EXPENCIVE WAY.

I got the NGK Iridium ix plugs. I payd $20 each and that was with a discount. but if you have future plans of upping the boost above 13psi these pluge are recomended.

as the 6 type stay colder... ive heard ov ppl uping there boost that hard that there sparkies golw red and ignite the fule with out a spark.. trust me you dont want this to happen. you can even go 7 but thats only recomended for over 2bar.

Iridium plugs stay cleaner then your average plugs and are anit-oxidation and anti-corrosion, they apparently last forever too. :headspin:

these plugs are gapped to 0.8 already so you dont have to fcuk around trying to get the correct gap size.

Mad free advertising for NGK...

I :ghost: If you have ever changed your plugs (skyline owners) youl know that its a mission :ghost: took me and a mate well over an hour :ghost:

Do your homework before you go out and spend hundreds of $$ on plugs, but in my oppinion its better than a dead rb25. and well worth it.

Thanks Gamatron ;)

I will check out the gaps on my skyline, i had a R33 S1, that was boosted too 10psi running the stock plugs & it was fine but i did end up changing them too NGK Iridiums.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
