RB25DET NEO flat spots - the REAL answer

Image
OK - so a few posts back I explained the start of my search for what was occurring with my stock ECU RB25DET Neo, causing it to hesitate when boosting. I had found a fairly obvious ignition timing reduction, which I though could have been coming from the knock sensors reading some activity, or from the stock ecu hitting a limit. I had logged some data through Nissan Consult, and this was the result : A big hole at about 3000rpm, and then back down there again from about 4000rpm onwards. The timing values not where I would have expected them to be, based on a quick look at the stock Nissan timing maps : About 23 degrees of timing at 3000rpm would be better (than my recorded 13 odd) and at 4000rpm about 27 would be great. Things improved slightly after taking the knock sensors out of the loop, and also turning the boost back to 10psi, but still holes in the ignition timing trace, just not quite as bad. I went back to the drawing board, and started reading up on the limits...
