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

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
