Ok Guys wondering if you can figure this out.. I boosted the car this morning & it hit peaked boost @ 22psi then the car backed off the power like a cooler piping came loose. Checked power FC level, ID% went to 76% n only rev it to 4700rpm. Pulled over all piping tight n vac hose all good.. I only usually peak 61-62% IDC.

Have you got the boost control kit installed or even just the map sensor? This is the only way it will cut the engine because of boost. Only other way is if your airflow voltage is to high that will give a similar effect.

Look at paulr33's power fc FAQ for the answers

Hey mate i have a HKS EVC 5 and Power FC that still uses a Z32AFM. I am thinking that the Spark plugs is not keeping up or something.. n just dumping fuel??? Only thing i can think of is turning the boost gain down a bit. What is the Max volt on the Afm so i can check it if i try again. Knock level was low @ 10.

If it was spark plugs it would be a misfire, not a cut. Misfire is usually not as violent as a cut,and very identifiable from the sound. I wouldn't play around with the boost controller either, it's more likely to be something that has changed. What boost do you normally run? I assume the EVC 5 has a limit function like the Greddy Profec B?? What is that set to?

EVC is set to 21psi.. if it goes above 21.5psi it will auto turn it down to by 0.6psi and it will beep. I don't think the EVC will cause the back off in power?? I have changed the turbo intake pipe from 2.75" to 4" n the Bov was slightly open at idle so i tightened it up so it's just closed.

No, it shouldn't.

t really does sound like a vacuum leak though, are you sure none of your hoses are loose or split? Is it idling ok? Even if it is, it could be a hose that's split and only leaking at higher vacuum/boost. Could also be AFM as 89CAL said, max voltage should be around 5V. But how much power are you making? I'd be surprised if you were maxing the Z32.

Yeh it ldles fine, Made 370rwhp on a roller dyno last time i checked. 350 on hub dyno with low 10 afr's. Split hose or vacuum leak?? I think i have checked all of them & they are fine. I boosted it again on the way home n turned boost gain down a bit n it peaked 20psi n ran fine. Even the BOV slightly open it was still idling fine.

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
