Ive only just purchased my skyline about 2-3 weeks ago and i have noticed that when accelerating it seems to get more boost and accelerate quicker when i push the accerator to about 3/4 of the way in, and when i put my foot flat down i get less boost and slower acceration than at 3/4. Is this normal or is there an easy fix to this problem???

Mods Everythis is stock except for Pod Filter and 3" Exhaust Cat Back but has 2 mufflers.

Boost Gauge is reading .75kg/cm2 which is about 10.5 PSI but that sounds rather High so im not 100% sure if its right, cus the cars not overly fast to my thinking

I had the same sorta problem a while back when I first got my 33. Ran so much better at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle but ran like shite on full. Turned out my afm was shot. Maybe try swapping with someone to see if that fixes it. Is there a massive mid range flat spot that seems to clear about 6k? Thats what happened to me anyway... ran way too rich.

rich and retard isnt a violent stop start, the best description of rich and retard is a flat empty feeling, almost like as if you are instantly towing a 6x4 trailer on the back

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
