Hey guys i ask this question becasue i am having trouble with my car. I had my car dyno tuned the other day making only a small amount of power on 10 pound (165 rwhp) this is out of a stock motor with only these few extra mods

It has a M's k&n filter 3 inch exhaust gfb bleed vavle and a gtr fuel pump. THe mechanic that worked on my car said that it was running rich at load load which is ok by me. It also had a greddy blow off vavle that was leaking so i have blanked off the hole.

BUt lately under full load read sideways with the wheels spinning or a quick blast in second the car will rev then basically loose all power at around 6 grand. Once this happens i select nuetral (as the throttle no longer works at all) and the revs drop to around 1000 rpm then the engine will refire and the car will run again.

Or in a different situation the car will rev to around 6 grand then do the same sort of thing but the car will still respond to the accelorator but will cut in and out not like the rev limiter but it will rev then stop and then rev and then stop this only occurs under full acceleration and only seems to happen when im bloody racing someone.

Help me guys its starting to get really embarassing. I also have a malpassi fuel pressure regulator sitting in my bedroom waiting to go on the car in the future.

thanks for any help anyone could offer

Hi,

I'd check these items in this order.

Condidtion of coil packs (damaged coil packs are hard to diagnose on a dyno and can be mistaken for the car running lean hence the need to run a higher richness in tune.

Fuel pump pickup. If you have changed your stock fuel pump for a GTR item, you need to make sure the fuel pickup sock is at the same position as the original otherwise you will experience fuel pickup issues creating fuel surges. (which is very bad - get it looked at asap)

I am pretty sure this will sort you out.

In answer to your question though... yes SR20DET 180's have a boost cut on the standard ecu map.

      Boost level and torque curve

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
