WTF?!?! Weird Boost Spike (sorry, long story)


Recommended Posts

I have the following:

93 r32 GTR

blitz air pods

full Mines exhaust with front pipe

blitz DSBC spec R (set at 0.8 bar boost)

Mines ECU

All else standard

The problem I am getting is that it spikes to about 0.95-1.00 which to me, being an electronic boost controller, is just unacceptable!!! The weird thing is (to me anyway) is that the overboost only happens at full throttle and when I take my foot OFF the accelerator to change up a gear!!!

To explain it in detail:

car is in gear, apply full throttle, boost climbs up to around 0.82 at about 4000rpm (no spike), at around 6500rpm, boost drops slightly to 0.78 (all is still good) and at 8000rpm when i take my foot OFF the gas, the boost spike up to about 0.95/1.02 bar!

What could possibly be wrong? I always thought that spikes occur when the turbo kicks in? If it just spiked a bit then i wouldn't worry about it...but 0.2 of a bar...that's like 3psi....the difference between a healthy engine and a full rebuild!

I've asked my mech and he suspects that my guages are faulty but i've hooked up 2 guages to it using different points of pick up for the signal but i still get spike readings!

Another thing that he told me is that it's "theoretically" impossible. I take the boost reading from the fuel pressure regulator which is behind the throttle plates, when i take my foot off the gas, and the throttle plates close, no more boost will go in so it should read from positive boost to negative pressures instantly...hence, no spike.

This problem has really hindered me from enjoying my car. Any help you could possibly throw my way would be greatly, greatly, appreciated! Thanks!

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
