Cut out problem...

I have just bolted a HKS 2535 turbo onto my RB25DET, anyway long story short it makes 233rwkw’s on 12psi. The car was going great for about a day, now it seems to randomly cut out. When I put the boot into it the engine will cut out anywhere from 4~8k revs, generally this happens at 6000 revs. The wired thing is if I warm the car up for 20 mins and then take it for a hard run the car will rev every gear out up to 4th without a problem. Then on the second run it will cut out in every gear.

Basically the cut out stops the engine from revving and it pretty much goes dead silent. Once I release the accelerator I hear the air rush back out the air pod and the car comes back to life. If I put my foot down again it will go but usually cuts out again. I have been avoiding doing so, as it could be leaning out.

The possible fixes I have tried so far are, replace fuel filter (mine was rooted but replacing it didn’t help). I checked the fuel pump and pickup in the fuel tank but both seemed okay. All the obvious air hoses and things like that have been checked. I even bought a Z32 AFM as I read on the forums the standard R33 AFM can play up with over 230rwkw’s. However, I am yet to put this on and get a re-tune as the tuner does not believe this to be the problem. He suggested I check the fuel pump which I did tonight. Basically I am out of ideas and the AFM was my last hope. If anyone has experienced a similar problem let me know what the deal was ...

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
