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.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
