Hi, I have just installed a Hybrid front mount kit on my r32 Rb20, the install was down excellently but when i took it for a test drive the car was really quick and zippy up until 5000rpm then it filt like it was restricting or sort of reving but not going anywhere, i cant work out the problem..the car is running standard boost (which is about 9-10psi because i have a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and filter..the boost looks like it is now around 11 psi because of the front mount).

if anybody can shed some light on this problem or if they have had any problem which is similar could they please let me know what i can do about it

thanks

nah the clutch is definetely not slipping it feels like the motor cant keep up with the revs or something and after 5 grand it sort of lags........if i put my foot to the floor you notice the "holding back" of the motor at 5 grand heaps more then if i ease it past 5 grand gradually....

is it worth getting it tuned (what could they tune if i dont have a standard computer??????)

Before you even think about getting it tuned throw it on the dyno for a diagnostic dyno run.

Prices here in Adelaide vary from as low as $35 right up to around $80. So shop around.

I had mine get the $35 power run, they set timing and gave it a power run.

Grabbed a print out of boost & AFR's. It told me she was leaning out :rofl:

Leaning out makes a car feel flat, if its not leaning out then have a look to see if your knock sensor plugs have wiggled loose & throw your ecu in to diag mode to check if indeed the knock sensors have given strange readings as of late (hit the search button for an ecu diag.)

It could also be your sparky's not liking the little bit extra boost and breaking down causing power to go flat.

could it just be getting to point where the rb20 turbo is running out of puff, my old CA18DET would be like that because it had all the bolt ons but the stock turbo would run out of huff at like 5000rpm

could be completely wrong though just an idea

The stock rb20 turbo isn't running out of puff and the R32's don't have the same ecu retard/rich issues.

So its neither of those.

I am leaning strongly towards the plugs and leaning out. Especially if you are running the stock fuel pump.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
