86 turbo pickup turbo upgrade, now boost cut
So I just got done putting the new turbo on my pickup. It is a factory 86 turbo pickup, and the original ct20 turbo was shot, especially after 216k miles. I got a home made manifold with a standard garrett t3 flange on it, and threw a garrett super 60 on it. I bolted on a internal gate housing and wastegate from a old saab, and now I am hitting boost cut. The engine boggs down bad, and CEL comes on, which is normal for fuel cut. I was wondering if anyone knew of any way around the factory boost cut, or how to raise it without buying a boost cut eliminator?

This is an old post but the 22RTE stock can only handle about 14psi boost before it shuts down. Sounds like you need an aftermarket fuel management system and possibly larger injectors.

There is really no safe way around fuel cut without going with a stand alone efi system. I would buy a boost controller and lower your boost to ten pounds max. You will most likely blow your motor up pushing more than that.

a boost controller wont lower your boost any lower than the wastegate has it set.
this is my first post on this forum, but i know a bit about turbo cars.
how much boost are you running, do you have a boost gauge? A super 60 flows a whole lot more air than a ct20 does even if their at the same boost levels, ur injectors are probably having some trouble keeping up.
source out some larger injectors, im sure there is something from another toyota vehicle that would work, (ive used n/a supra inj on a 5sfe celica).
then pick up an apexi safc, to tune it. i bet it will take care of your issues, if not then look into upgraded maf options.

the fuel cut is caused by a couple of things all happening at once:
throttle opened to a wide angle and the air-flow meter reaching full-open.
You don't get the cut at low-boost / part throttle because the AFM isn't saturated (maxed out on flow).
at that point, the ecu has nothing to determine how much air is entering the engine and is also maxing out the duty cycle of the injectors so it cuts the injectors to lower the rpms and boost thus causing the afm to return to normal operation.
One way to 'hack' around it is to tighten the spring in the afm, which causes the ECU to think there is less air getting into the engine thus shortening injector duration, and then installing higher flow injectors to add the extra fuel the ECU thinks it's cutting back on. The down side is that lower rpm operation will likely suffer from a rich mixture. Also, improperly chosen injectors or misadjusted afm can cause the ECU to not be able to adjust properly to the O2 sensor readings.

Too much air and not enough fuel = BOOM!
I am not sure how toyotas ECU works on there turbo cars, but every time I did some upgrade on my Subaru I had to get a tune. Intercooler, tune, injectors, tune, Turbo, tune. The tuner could usually just adjust my map.

Doesnt that depend on the wastegate. I believe mine has that capability. There are two vac hook ups on mine. One above and one below the spring diaphram.

Another interesting, but likely insignificant fact, the 22R-TE ECU actually cuts fuel at a specific airflow, not at a specific pressure. Saying it will cut at 14psi may hold true for the stock turbo, but with a bigger flowing turbo, boost cut could occur much lower, say 8psi.
The best way to raise boost cut is to first install a larger AFM (Like from a 5M), then install proportionally larger injectors. This is done quite frequently in the Supra world, upgrading the 7M-GTE AFM with one from a 1UZ, then upgrading the 440cc injectors to 550cc. The problem is that you MUST make sure you are increasing each equally to ensure you don't run too lean. If in doubt, err on the side of larger injectors.

management or at least tune it. Your in CO and my buddy that lives in longmont builds megasquirt set ups. Foe now i think you trick the maf if you cant turn the boost down. you need to get it on a wideband and tinker for now tho.
