Boost cut?

Just a theory: When you are at a constant 5000rpm the turbo is well on boost, then the jab of the throttle causes the turbo to spike, engaging the ecu to activate the boost cut. Not sure if i am just spinning shit :lol:, but i have also felt that if i keep the revs at 4000rpm, in 2nd, then poke the throttle, the response is so much greater and the arse end steps out harder. I do not have any problems though, but my car is not exactly standard :(.

Isn't the proper term fuel cut?...and as to why the car might be missing...there could be several reasons...the plugs could be F##ked or the gap might be too big...when running higher boost...its always a good idea to have the plugs regapped to 0.8mm...i'd reckon this should be the first thing to check...good luck...

You may be hitting the fuel cut circuit in the ecu, just wtch your boost gauge and see whats happening without crashing :angry:

We had an R32RB20DET on dyno last week which kind of had the same problem. Ended up being ignition coils on 2 cylinders. They looked cooked around the sealed solid resin area. Check it out

Hey Turbine do you know where you can get your coils tested for free ???

You could do this yourself. Check the manual it should tell you how to test them. I dont run the standard nissan coils in my 20 so I cant help much their.

Sorry guys should have gave more info. I'm running bcpr6es NGK's which are gapped at 0.8 (be lucky to have done 1000klms on them) and i'm running F.E.T high capacity coil packs...

I'm thinking boost/fuel cut.... Just never came to my mind until someone mentioned it up there /\....

Gonna remove the boost T, and also going for a run with my mates air/fuel wideban meter to check the mixture this evening..

Only thing is, my wastegate runs 13psi stock, i installed the boost T wound all the way out to try and bring on boost sooner but keep the 13psi boost. I did think that it would prob creep to 14psi etc. I'll let you all know how i go anyway, many thanks for the ideas!!!

Well i would think that it is not called fuel cut either, as the last thing a manufacturer would do is lean the fuel mixtures at high rpm.

ECU detects high boost level and cuts the ignition, so technically it is an ignition cut :lol: :)

Read the first post carefully:

When going through the gears normally my car boosts fine with no hiccups. But tonight i tried staying in high revs in 2nd at a constant rpm (lets say 5000rpm) then flooring it and the car started missing. It only does it when i do this?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

Fault does not occur until he keeps the revs at a certain rpm, then pokes the throttle. If it was plugs or coils, the spark would break down when he is driving the car hard, not only when using this techneque.

they dont lean the engine fuel mixtures out at hi rpm the ecu cuts the power to the injectors so there is no fuel to burn that why its called fuel cut

are u sure its not pre ignition

like someone above mentioned, it only happens when holding the car in high revs then stepping on it.. This causes a massive surge of boost/fuel as the turbo is in it's prime ready to boost and it was casuing boost/fuel/ignition cut or whatever it is.

Basically... removed the bleed valve, problem sorted now.. WHich is farken awesome as now i can drift it at Sunday's drift day!!! yey

But with a bit less power ;)

Thanks for all your info and advice

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
