Sorry if this has already been asked before, I searched but was unable to find anything on this issue. I have an R32 GT-R running a Power FC and it will only ever reach 7lbs of boost even though it's set to 20lbs, is this possibly due to a 'limp home' mode or something of the sort? There doesn't appear to be any leaks and I've checked through the hand controller and all the settings appear to be the same as they used to be. The knock sensor is registering higher than previously was but nothing overly worrisome. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What sort of boost controller you're using will be handy to know-( eg. if you have a blitz SBC i-D set to 20 in manual mode it's a percentage, not a psi level) although 7 psi is pretty low?- Have you checked this boost level with a gauge that's know to be accurate?

assuming its a power fc boost control kit? is it still turned on in the etc menu? afaik theres no limp mode in the pfc, its pretty basic.

checked the solenoid works?

It's a Greddy E-01 boost manager, adjusted the solenoid and all it did was mess with the idle. It still caps out at 7psi.

The power fc wont do that, It will cut the engine if you go over your set boost level (with the boost sensor enabled and connected)

What boost controller are you running? have you got it set right?

Greddy E-01, haven't consciously changed any of the settings since it was tuned and I don't leave the remote plugged in to prevent accidental changes.

I have an analogue gauge plugged in which appears to reflect the same boost.

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
