hey everyone.

R32 GTST 1990

Was driving home last night with the usual semi-enthusiastic driving we all like to do. Turned a corner and the car just didnt feel the same acceleration wise. Also going up hills in say 3rd or 4th it will rev to say 2K or 3K and just sorta not want to go past this. Out of first and second it will rev out ok but a lil bit slower then usual.

The stock turbo gauge indicates that it can get full pressure...so i dun think it's turbo

the car also sounds exactly how it should (perfect note) at idle.

such a wierd thing...i turn the corner and power is now only 2/3 of what it should be and up hills can only make it to a certain limit.

I have done my searches and most people seem to report power losses ABOVE a certain higher range (say 5K) mine seems to be just in general not that great a much power as before

I'm thinkin fuel pmup, or piping, or coil packs as per the suggestions in other threads

just wanna know if anyone experienced this problem and what was the resolution??

any help would be great!

fair enough guess i must admit...but....the clutch was put in like a yr n half ago so not likely.

i think it actually MAY have been bad bit of fuel and or sparkies gettin old...cos it was ok to drive today...very odd tho

hey i seem 2 have a problem similiar 2 yours

in second or third wen i flat foot it the car seems 2 jerk at times. feels like its struggling.

must add that it doesnt happen all the time.

its standard apart from cat back exhaust, pod and bov. Car seems fine otherwise.

Had feed back, and there suggesting it could be either:

-fuel pump

-engine coils

spark plugs

Hope that helps :)

hey mate

yeh i thought it could be one of those

there's no real problem at the moment hence i reckon its bad fuel or sparkies lil bit old

with ur car jerking i'd say could be fuel pump.

my mate recently changed his fuel pump in a 200sx and said it was jerking before he changed it.

Just a lil bit of feed back...i dont want to tell u to change anything cos i'm obv not the mechanic.

cheers

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
