R33 Problems - Fuel Cut?

Hey car is a 96 r33 s2, car has been fine until last night. I was driving along and was in third gear, i started to accelerate, the car got to about 3500rpm then cut-out for a second. It was like a big jerk. Then further up the road i tried again and the same thing happen.

Today i took it for a drive and it was fine, but tonight when i went to accelerate it happend again. Im starting to think it might have something to do with the colder weather at night?

I also thought it might be boost cut. It is currently set at 12psi. The only thing i have changed lately was the boost controller. I went from a no name bleed valve, to a turbotech ($22 one from the forums). I think it may be getting just under 13psi sometimes (when its colder).

Anyways just wondering if anyone could help out.

P.S sorry if this post is hard to read, but im not in a good writing mood right now

Thanks, Mike

:)

Don't change your afm unless you change your ECU - it will stuff things up. The AFM isn't maxed out but the reading the ECU is getting is saying this is too much airflow (most likely), hence richening and retarding the timing which feels like a fuel cut.

Turn the boost down to 10psi. If it stil happens look to coil packs for issues.

check to make sure the boost controller does not have a blockage. This would cause the turbo to spike extremely quickly as the wastegate is not opening or not opening enough. Your boost cut should be somewhere around 20psi but the turbo will hit that twice as fast as your guage will read it so it might only say 13 or 14 psi but the turbo has already hit 20psi. It is unlikely to be your AFM as my stock rb20 afm is putting through 250 rwkw and only reaches maximum voltage when my injectors hit 100% duty cycle.

Im also getting the exact same problem. It seems to be worse at night and is definatly worse on higher boost, the higher the boost, the worse it is generally.

Has anyone found out what is actually causing this yet?

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
