Ok I am not reffering to the rich and retard mode which gives you the power dip, but rather a violent cut / stop when on WOT. I had my SAFCII dyno tuned and when i first drove the car all was fine. WOT 11psi all good. Then later that night i went to give it a squirt in second and as the boost pushed 11 and was on the increase, usually gets to about 12 for a bit then drops back down, the car violently cut out and felt like the brakes had been slammed on. :(

I have done heaps of searching on fuel / boost cuts and rich and reatrd etc but I have only now experienced theis problem after i got my SAFCII installed and tuned. :D Before the SAFCII the car could go to around 1 bar without this violent cut business. Over 11 it would usually expereince the reatarding and richening up of mixtures but never cut out like that. Anyone know why this is happening now with the safcII??? IT was quite cold outside but the boost certainly didn't get over 12psi, and it did it in 2nd and forth - feels terrible! Ideas's Comments??

Thanks

Does anyone think that it could be another component causing the problem that just coincidently happened after the safcII tune, 2 hrs hard reving on the dyno etc??? Coil packs?? or would it defienately be a fuel cut. Basically feels like someone slams the brakes on for a sec and if you arn't wearing a seatbelt you would fly forward..

    • Depending on exactly where that voltage is being measured, that is most likely the battery is f**ked. If the multimeter probes are on the battery's own terminals, then it is f**ked. If they are on the car's terminals, then there is a bad connection. Either are fatal to the attempt to start it. Literally just put it on the 20VDC range, put one probe on the battery's -ve terminal (ideally not the car's terminal) and the other on the block somewhere exposed/metal, like an engine mount bolt head. You can also test the earth lead is steps, so from battery to body earth, body earth to engine connection point, engine connection point to some other spot on the engine, to see if you can isolate where a shit connection actually is.
    • I meant to write 50 originally and then double checked the price and found it was ¥12m (125k) and came to edit it and realized I had accidentally added and extra 0 in the first place lol

    • Only reason I started replacing hoses was I went for a short drive to the shop the other day and finished shopping and started the car and started to drive off and could see a big trail of fuel in the rear view mirror. Parked up and found the bottom hose to the fuel filter had busted. Lucky I was near a car part store and was able to get a replacement hose and back on the road. But got me thinking I had owned that car for around 20 years and was all original fuel hoses so probably time to replace all of the fuel hoses. Was pretty lucky it went where it did.
