Why R&r At Partial Throttle And Not Full Throttle?

Hey all, I just took the car for a proper test drive and I've noted a few symptoms when the car is on higher boost. From what I've researched so far it seems that I am definately hitting the infamous rich and retard, but whats weird is that it only kicks in at partial throttle (70%) but does not at full throttle. The car viscously stops like power is cut at 5000rpm and then kicks back in and then does it again towards redline.

This is the true effect of R&R yes?

But when at 100% throttle the viscous cuts do not happen, what happens instead is that it doesn't feel like the car is pulling smoothly as it should. There would be very small and hard to feel stutters and flat spots towards redline.

If the above at 70% throttle is R&R, then what am I experiencing at 100%?

So why does the power cuts happen at 70% and not 100% throttle?

Car is R34 GTT. Mods are turbo-back exhaust, fmic, apexi pod and profec B2 set to 12psi. I tapped up the coilpacks earlier today and with those runs above I didn't hear any actual mis-firing but scenerio 2 (100% throttle) could very well feel like it.

Thanks,

Andy :)

P.S - yes I've done a fair bit of searching over the past few days but couldn't find anything directly relating to my partial throttle problem so please keep the 'flaming' to limited if this has been covered before. :)

ECU sees throttle at a certain point through the TPS but reads more air going in through the AFM, works out that there shouldn't be that much air going in at that throttle position and whacks in R+R. When full throttle is used, sees throttle fully open, heaps of air should be going in so... you get the picture?

I get the first part, but at full throttle shouldn't the amount of airflow the AFM is sensing still be more then what the ECU would usually allow? Of course there would be a higher threshold for more air at higher TPS but one would assume R&R is even more likely to kick in at 100%?

100% you have "X" air, ECU is happy with that

70% you have "Y" air, the ECU isnt happy, as it expect "X".

Its relative of the throttle position.

So @ 70% throttle ECU expects "X", and your running 12psi so its getting "Y" and its cracking the sads.

Make sense?

At full throttle there might not be enough air to trip the ECU over as its expecting around that amount because your at 100% throttle, and because your at full throttle the ECU doesnt mind it like it did @ 70%

turn the gain don on the boost controler.

il tell you whats hapening. part throttle theres more boost in the piping compard to the manifold...

ie: your got compressor surge. wich is your turbo trying to push more air than the engines using.

please stop calling tis problen r and r, i cringe at the very thuoght of it, that is the gayest term ive ever heard. sory but it shits me all teser wanker terms floating aroud and to every mechanic is painful to read. :P

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
