I just fitted a Hybrid FMIC to my Series II Skyline, Now my problem is my car is now running ridiculous amount on boost roughly 15-20psi when I look at my boost gauge, which I know its un-safe for my stock turbo, when I hit 3,500 revs my car spools to boost then my car starts to jerk so I keep my revs down low, I've only got a FMIC, turbo back exhaust, and af, no boost controller. I'm wondering if anyone esle has this similar problem that could shed some light and tell me whats wrong with my car.

sounds like youve left off the cooler to actuator pressure line off, so the actuator never opens so the wastegate never opens, aka boost keeps climbing for ever. this can be fatal so be careful. check your lines and the air tubes running to the turbo area

Hey, Ive also just fitted a hybrid cooler to my R33 with standard turbo, turbo back exhaust, bleeder valve, and mine does the same thing, except i run low boost (9psi), and it still jerks at high revs???? Could this mean I need to get a bigger fuel pump, or Do I need a fuel cut defender fitted. Ive checked for any boost leaks and still cant figure it out. Would a electronic boost controller fix this problem or power fc????

Could be richening up to much in which case you would need a SAFC or Power FC you. Either that or you may have faulty coils.

G'day,

I think I know what your prob is mate, When you removed the standard piping you cut into the vacuum line running of your standard intercooler pipe but prob did not plug this back into another vac line somewhere so you will have full boost, this is very very bad, dont drive it. T into your inlet manifold somewhere ie BOV so the wastegate can read some boost. This will fix your problem.

Cheers

Im no expert on this sorta stuff? what do i have to do? sorry if im sounding stupid but Im worried about my car.

Did you put the cooler pipes in yourself? There is usually a vacuum hose nipple on the standard cooler pipe which leeds to the wastegate which hangs of the turbo. Because you have changed this pipe you will have to find somewhere where the wastegate can read boost from, Cut your BOV vacuum hose and tee of that into the satandard t piece off the wastegate and hook it up. If this is already hooked up then your problem lies elsewhere.

I had the same problem with my skyline i fitted a front mount intercooler and the car wont rev past 3500 i changed the spark plugs and gapped them to 0.8 once i put them in started the car i could tell that the idle was better when i drove it it went hard, very hard so it solved my problem try that first, Always try the easy stuff first i learnt that the hard way

I went the all cheap kit cost me around $600 and works like magic can feel the power straight away but the car is running rich and is dumping fuel so ill need to tune the air fuel ratios. Just cut the BOV vacuum hose and tee into that it easy. I think you actually get a better reading from the original spot so n the future im gonna weld in a nipple to my piping.

Heres some pics.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
