i'll start with the mods first

r32 with rb25det series 2

full 3inch exhaust

fmic

hi/low boost control 7 and 10 psi

the problem is only when i put it on hi boost, when i put my foot down hard its like its pauses and stops boosting untill i lift my foot abit then it keeps going again?

I think its a coil pack problem?

cheers

its abit hard to go off without a full detailed description, as in....

what speed are u going when it happens, wot gear are u in

goes it miss and run rough (or studder) or is it simply not boosting

is it only cold nights?

it could be coilpacks, it could be spark plugs (or spark plug gap), u could have a boost leak, u could have a tps problem.... there is also alot more things it may be.....

go for another drive and mentally record exactly wot it does, at wot rpm, and wot throttle percentage, and exactly how the engine is running and abit more help....

otherwise check u have good fuel, u dont have air leak in the intercooler piping and maybe remove ur spark plugs and coilpacks and look for cracks or incorrect gaps

Cheers mate, I will go for a drive later and check all those things! One thing I do know it didn't run rough it just paused then I lifted my foot then it started boosting again

as soon as it paused I lifted my foot, I didn't give it a chance to miss and muck around!

wats it actualy doing? sounds like either boost cut or missfiring.

when my coilpacks were missing i noticed popping and a loss of power under full throttle

when i was hitting boost cut it ran fine and boosted fine but as it got to like 14psi a massive loss of power felt like everything just shut down then when boost dropped the car came back alive. ecu shouldnt hit boost cut at 10psi but ur boost gauge may be out or something.

ive had both yellow jackets and splitfires. both did exactly the same job. i originally bought the yellow jackets but a few weeks later i claimed splitfires for free on my used car warranty. yellow jackets/JJR/superspark are all china copies of splitfires so most of the time they'll do the same thing but u might get unlucky and get 1 faulty one or something like that. and also splitfires have been proven to run for many years without problems as for the china copies they've only been on the market for a few years so who knows how long they'll last.

yea same thing was happening after i got my safc tuned, only happened on cold nights. i just gave it like 90% throttle when it was real cold otherwise just turn the boost down a smidgen.

but if ur keen to do it properly and spend a bit of coin get a z32 afm and an ecu, i personally would just turn the boost down unless you were planning on getting an ecu anyways.

ive heard you can tune past the standard afm but apparently its not recommended. dont quote me on this but ur better off mentioning it to ur tuner getting his opinion

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
