Well I have looked using the Search button but cant seem to find what im looking for.

I have Just installed a new turbo onto my car but it seemed to do this on the old turbo.

I am boosting 1Bar and I could drive hard and then all of a Sudden it will just stop and it hurts your head when it does :D

another thing is when im boosting sometimes it seems to struggle, A friend of mine said when he was following me it had some sort of whiteish smoke comming out of the back when it was doing it.

Also where is the oil sencer placed as my gauge is playing up.

Put it back on standard boost and it won't do that.

Its the way the standard ecu is mapped. So that when the ecu measures more air flow then standard you go onto a higher load point that is mapped with lots of fuel and no ignitition timing.

Only real way around it is to go buy a PowerFC if you want more then standard boost.

The oil pressure sender is on the oil-water cooler behind the oil filter on the engine block. It has a yellow plug on it generally.

this man is right on the money.

the oil gauge playing up is common problem in the r32's.. I still never found out if it was the sender or the gauge itself, but don't freak if it says you have zero oil pressure.

Still gives me the $H!ts though!

as for the boost, 1 bar is roughly 14.5 psi. The computer wont like it, the intercooler probably wont, and neither will the engine. 12 psi should be a more appropriate figure.

and as stated above, an ecu upgrade should be a priority.

I also suggest a front/dump, high flow cat, and an intercooler.

Well I guess I will have to get a Power FC then

and intercooler isnt a biggy yet. Big loads of power isnt what im after anyway, i just want to to run right.

Well everything seems to be fine at 14.5PSI

The engine is more then able to take that.

I guess I need to save up hard to get that power FC and see how she goes then

dude! I'd be getting a FMIC before anything.... The standard intercooler is definately not able to cope with 14.5psi!

Get a FMIC, but not a huge 600x300x75 one... Get like a second hand GTR one or something.

Will work out perfect.

hope this helps:

ChinaCopy Cooler 300x600x76 = $250

Piping = $600

Nismo FuelPump = $300-$400

Nismo Injectors 450cc = $600-$700

Nismo FRP = $160

PFC = $1000 + $400 to $450 for tuning or Hyperdrive will retune your stock ecu with a lumpy rom for around $800

maybe a clutch too $800-$900

ohh and how are you controlling boost?

ohh yes and your getting fuel-cut from ur ecu as everyone has said :P

question for you do you know what ur hybird turbo is rated at? as i would be interested to know if ur pushing around the 230-250rwhp without a fmic and if its pinging

Well I have fixed some of my Probs my Bov was too loose and now she seems to be heaps better, just every now and then I get some fuel cut but she lets loose again and fine. But when I back off she still is over fueling I guess thats where a tune will come in handy

The Turbo is rated at 500+HP and 25PSI+

I ant pushing those limits I have no reason too.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
