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

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
