Cut out problem...

Cut out problem...

I have just bolted a HKS 2535 turbo onto my RB25DET, anyway long story short it makes 233rwkw’s on 12psi. The car was going great for about a day, now it seems to randomly cut out. When I put the boot into it the engine will cut out anywhere from 4~8k revs, generally this happens at 6000 revs. The wired thing is if I warm the car up for 20 mins and then take it for a hard run the car will rev every gear out up to 4th without a problem. Then on the second run it will cut out in every gear.

Basically the cut out stops the engine from revving and it pretty much goes dead silent. Once I release the accelerator I hear the air rush back out the air pod and the car comes back to life. If I put my foot down again it will go but usually cuts out again. I have been avoiding doing so, as it could be leaning out.

The possible fixes I have tried so far are, replace fuel filter (mine was rooted but replacing it didn’t help). I checked the fuel pump and pickup in the fuel tank but both seemed okay. All the obvious air hoses and things like that have been checked. I even bought a Z32 AFM as I read on the forums the standard R33 AFM can play up with over 230rwkw’s. However, I am yet to put this on and get a re-tune as the tuner does not believe this to be the problem. He suggested I check the fuel pump which I did tonight. Basically I am out of ideas and the AFM was my last hope. If anyone has experienced a similar problem let me know what the deal was ...

Problem solved, don’t all put your hands up at once Its was the rubber inlet pipe, the thing was closing in on itself!

Some times there is a flood and other times not even a trickle of advice.

Soz - just saw your post. Glad to see you fixed it (Yourself)

that's what I was going to say, saw your thread engine bay heats up, pipe goes soft.... big suck from the turbo.....

well dome for working it out - did you replace it with steel pipe or fit a spring on the inside to stop the crush?

I put heavy duty clamps around it for now to stop it from being crushed. I am getting a steel pipe made up by a mate as we speak
