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!

    • 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.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
