Hi Guys,

Need a little Help :(

CAR 96 R33 GTS-t

mods

3 inch cat back exhurst

K&N Pod

BlITZ BOV

Turbotech Boost controller (hole in back) approx 10 psi installed 3-4 months ago

Problem

over the last 1 to 2 months have noticed that when i plant my foot stock boost gage climbs and holds at arount 10 psi as it should but only pulls hard to about 3.5 grand then seems to be holding back for some reason? it would still climb after 3.5 but rather slow ???

thought it could be my imagination or some thing then i had my car serviced last week.

now car is doing the same thing but much worse it comes on boost and pulls hard to 3 grand then nothing ??

whats wrong??

have done a search could it possibly be the ECU going into rich and retard mode??

or has the boost controller turned faulty

any thoughts wouldl be much appreciated.

The stock boost gauge doesnt go to 10 psi. Only 7

Anyway, try replacing your boost controller with a friends one that works fine in their car?

It could be a number of things, from fuel flow (fuel pump, computer) to ignition (coil packs, spark plugs). Your mechanic should have noticed the problem and diagnosed it when he completed the service???

    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon. 
    • All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
