hi i have a 94 nissan skyline r33 gtst auto, my mods are turboback exhaust, greddy fmic, turbosmart dual stage boost controller, and greddy e manage. Before i had the computer in, the boost was cutting out, so to prevent this happenign i installed the e manage got it tuned at dynoed it at 195kw at 14psi. yet the boost is still cutting out? why is this happening?

this is the stock ecu protecting the engine and turbo. the emanage is only a piggyback system, so it doesn't override the stock ecu 100%. there is a function in the emanage ultimate to help with this, but i'm not sure if it is in the emanage blue.

don't worry about it man..

it will stop cutting out soon with that sort of boost level.

it will stop cutting out for good.

so does it mean that he'll pop his motor on 14psi AFTER its been tuned cos boost is cutting out?

at that boost level, the turbo is on the "any day now" side of death.

motor should be fine if the fuel and timing is fine.

People always love pushing the envelope which is fine if they have a spare envelope lying around.

las nyt i drove my car, n i relised that when i floord it, the boost was fine it was goin at 14 no trbbl, however i was lookin at my revs and it was struggling at 4-5rpm, so i put da power button down, and everythign was fine, however at 5.5g it was having trbble gettin past that, so im thinking it looks lyk a possible rev cut, it doesnt happen all the time, jus sumtyms, lyk 1 day ill put it down all da way and everythign is sweet, and den later ill do the same thing and itll struggle at different RPM Points, btw i dnt always drive at 14psi, only if i drag or sumthing, other than that my boost doesnt go much over 8-9psi.

the turbo may pop, it may not. i was running 14psi for ages with no troubles. even in summer. the engine will be fine unless bits of the turbo get in there.

explain which part of the turbo is gonna get in the engine? ive never understood this.

exh turbine would destroy dump/front or cat..... i assume.

compressor? would bits travel to the intake?

bits of the compressor wheel can break off and get into the engine.

justin911 had the butterfly in his throttlebody get wedged open by a bit of his compressor wheel.

oooooooooooh >_<

i see. didnt imagine it would get thru the cooler, and all those bends to the plenum.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
