Boost cut?

Just a theory: When you are at a constant 5000rpm the turbo is well on boost, then the jab of the throttle causes the turbo to spike, engaging the ecu to activate the boost cut. Not sure if i am just spinning shit :lol:, but i have also felt that if i keep the revs at 4000rpm, in 2nd, then poke the throttle, the response is so much greater and the arse end steps out harder. I do not have any problems though, but my car is not exactly standard :(.

Isn't the proper term fuel cut?...and as to why the car might be missing...there could be several reasons...the plugs could be F##ked or the gap might be too big...when running higher boost...its always a good idea to have the plugs regapped to 0.8mm...i'd reckon this should be the first thing to check...good luck...

You may be hitting the fuel cut circuit in the ecu, just wtch your boost gauge and see whats happening without crashing :angry:

We had an R32RB20DET on dyno last week which kind of had the same problem. Ended up being ignition coils on 2 cylinders. They looked cooked around the sealed solid resin area. Check it out

Hey Turbine do you know where you can get your coils tested for free ???

You could do this yourself. Check the manual it should tell you how to test them. I dont run the standard nissan coils in my 20 so I cant help much their.

Sorry guys should have gave more info. I'm running bcpr6es NGK's which are gapped at 0.8 (be lucky to have done 1000klms on them) and i'm running F.E.T high capacity coil packs...

I'm thinking boost/fuel cut.... Just never came to my mind until someone mentioned it up there /\....

Gonna remove the boost T, and also going for a run with my mates air/fuel wideban meter to check the mixture this evening..

Only thing is, my wastegate runs 13psi stock, i installed the boost T wound all the way out to try and bring on boost sooner but keep the 13psi boost. I did think that it would prob creep to 14psi etc. I'll let you all know how i go anyway, many thanks for the ideas!!!

Well i would think that it is not called fuel cut either, as the last thing a manufacturer would do is lean the fuel mixtures at high rpm.

ECU detects high boost level and cuts the ignition, so technically it is an ignition cut :lol: :)

Read the first post carefully:

When going through the gears normally my car boosts fine with no hiccups. But tonight i tried staying in high revs in 2nd at a constant rpm (lets say 5000rpm) then flooring it and the car started missing. It only does it when i do this?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

Fault does not occur until he keeps the revs at a certain rpm, then pokes the throttle. If it was plugs or coils, the spark would break down when he is driving the car hard, not only when using this techneque.

they dont lean the engine fuel mixtures out at hi rpm the ecu cuts the power to the injectors so there is no fuel to burn that why its called fuel cut

are u sure its not pre ignition

like someone above mentioned, it only happens when holding the car in high revs then stepping on it.. This causes a massive surge of boost/fuel as the turbo is in it's prime ready to boost and it was casuing boost/fuel/ignition cut or whatever it is.

Basically... removed the bleed valve, problem sorted now.. WHich is farken awesome as now i can drift it at Sunday's drift day!!! yey

But with a bit less power ;)

Thanks for all your info and advice

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not noticeably. Arguably, the catless turbo is going to work harder in a different direction, as it will spool up faster, go to higher speeds more easily. Only if it was tuned in the original condition. If it was a stock tune, using the AFM before and after the cat/dump change, then no, no retune needed. If the car is running on a MAP sensor, then it might well benefit from a retune. It might even run a little dangerously without a retune, but it could quite easily be fine.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      We had this blend that uses 98RON + 10% Ethanol which brought it to 100RON. It's no longer available anymore unfortunately.

      By silviaz · Posted

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
