Looking to solve a bucking issue witch happens 2-5th gear at 5000rpm to redline, I have a 2000 JDM BE5 What I have done:
-Checked coils and reggaped all plugs to 28thou
-Tried known good MAF
-Cleaned and tried replacing boost control solenoid aswell as tried manual boost controller
-Checked fuel pressure and Fuel trims, all is good
-Upgraded to an AEM 340 fuel pump, hard wired the pump for constant voltage
-Datalogged timing and it is not being pulled
-Datalogged knock sensor and it isn’t picking up enough to pull timing
-Cleaned all boost/Exhaust related solenoids
-Wastegate actuator spring is tight no play in shaft
-Vaccum tested and Smoke tested for boost leaks
-ECU mapped to run the shitty fuel in canada and peak boost upped to 18ps
-Tried plugging lines 10 and 23 to just get wastegate pressure and had NO BUCKiNG but was gutless at only 7psi
-Tried different cold air intakes
-Tried 3 different BOV’s, HKS, GFB, and stock
Probably more I tried but can’t think of, is there even anything else to look at? O2 sensors?
