got my r34 with fmic, 3.5 inch exhaust and pod filter. fitted a apexi neo to it and made some difference with a tune. now the problem is i have tried to boost it past 12psi and it seems to go backwards like its retarding the timing or something. What im thinking is it has someting to do with the extra buttrtfly in the throttle bodie. Dont know not to sure what to do, will the z32 make a difference? not sure what to do guys. Any ideas?

u tried doing a search? I think your car is having Rich and Retard. ur not meant to boost past 12psi on a stock ecu. turn the boost down and it should be fine. Dont think the z32 will make a difference. if u wanna run more boost, u should get a power fc or another aftermaret ecu,, or get yours remapped

Any further than 12psi will kill your turbo and not really make anymore power anyways so why are you bothering?

Set it to 11-12psi, get the NEO tuned PROPERLY - And i say properly because correctly done, you will not be hitting R&R which it sounds like you are

The R34 has two levels of protection, the first one is the normal excess airflow - ie too much airflow, the ecu cuts out the timing and dumps in heaps of fuel, this occurs when you run more boost. the second is the maximum boost level. the ER34 ECU has a map sensor which it watches to see what the boost pressure is, if its too high, it cuts the timing and dumps heaps of fuel.

so to avoid that you need to defeat both protections

i cant remember how to beat the map sensor protection, but im sure its been done to death before, ask someone who has an ER34 or do a search

the excess airflow is easy, you just fit an SAFC or AFM signal bender to cheat the signal and ECU doesn't see the full amount of airflow coming in - thus avoiding the protection

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
