and the story goes on..

Everytime the boost gets raised to 10psi or above the car starts missing at around 4000rpm.

I've got everything I need & more to get it running at 12psi which is all I want from it.

FMIC, full 3" exhaust, 040 fuel pump, SAFC II, SITC & AVCR controlling the boost.

The plugs have been changed and gapped down to .8

When I got the full exhaust on it would boost up to 10psi and everything ran fine..but ever since the AVCR has been installed there's been nothing but troubles.

and it has also developed a miss at idle...(which the plugs didn't fix)

I suggested coil packs but they seemed to think it wouldn't be them because the miss at high revs is extremely aggressive..

Has anyone else had similar problems...

I really can't think of anything else it could be apart from the coil packs..

hi mate I had a simular problem in my s15 I was running a turbosmart boost controller which was spiking to the shithouse! I was running bout a bar which is close to the factory boost cut and soon as it spiked almost went flying through the window everytime.....not sure if this is your problem surley the facroty boost cut isnt around 12psi on a 34 is it?

I didn't think Nissan's had boost cut as such, don't they just hit R&R when too much boost is being fed?

But I figure it's not that because they had the SAFC & SITC to work around R&R if that was it.

Oh yeah, not sure whether this makes any difference or not but I was told when he was trying to get it to run at 10psi it was making 195rwkw..could this amount of power be triggering something..? like something reaching max..injectors, afm?

if the issue is from when the avcr was installed, i got another suggestion for you, get your self a hks adjustable wastegate actuator and bolt that on in replacement of the stock actuator. remove the avcr ad tune the safc with that actuator set at 12psi. i personally wouldnt go more than 10psi to conserve turbo life, but thats up to you.

have u tried removing avcr and running standard boost? problem dissappear? avcr could be prob.

also actuator is a cheaer and less 'cop bait' way of raising the boost and they are able to raise the boost and have no boost spike issues.

If you car is making 195rwkw it is not running 10psi.

I have my car tuned on .75 of a bar and that is appoximately 10psi my car makes 184 rwkw and has no prolems at all.

i have a wlbro fuel pump, AVCR, turbo back exhaust, splitfire coil packs, platinum plugs and FMIC.

I found that when i had the AVCR installed my car was all ove the place when boosting, but have since taken it in and had i tuned properly and now have a great power curve and a reliable car. Note that they could not put anymore boost in as the factory computer was dumping timing and fuel with anymore boost.

cheers cheez...

i got mine on the dyno yesterday, and with the catback, pod and slight boost increase (however by peak power the boost had dropped back to standard so its not really any use for my power figure) my car made 161.2rwkw. I was showed a place where my af ratios are way too rich and if tuned out they said it makes the car alot more powerful through the revs.

not trying to steal the thread just thought i would ad my contribution

I just checked the coil packs and it doesn't appear to be them so can cross that one off the list..

Next to check is the AVCR..

after that I'm stuffed for ideas..

It was making 180rwkw without raising the boost & just a full 3" exhaust so I have no doubt he was able to get 195 on 10psi while also tuning the safc & sitc..

Must agree with sam, the safc with a good tune will surely be enough for the extra 11kw...

The only issue that i can figure is that the standard computer is fighting your SAFC, as my car was dumping timing and fuel with anything over 10 psi.

This maybe the same problem that you are having as my dyno graph looks terrible before i had it tuned correctly with the AVCR and great up to 10psi but all over the place again after 10 psi.

Luckily enough i have a power fc waiting to go in the car to remap everything, but i was told if i didnt have this a could go down the path of a FCD to fix the issue but it was not advisable.

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
