Bog Down Between 2nd And 3rd Gear Changes

[evil_weevil]

Hey peoples!

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this...

2nd into 3rd while on full boost (mind you im only running 7psi) the car bogs down and then picks up and gets going again...feels as though something is holding me back? Its not wheel spin, Im changing gears smoothly too and not rushing the gear change...

This has happened since fititng FMIC, the front/dump pipe and new clutch (exedy heavy dudty) and just does not feel right, anyone have ideas?

Cheers,

Chris

how long is the piping run for the FMIC? how large is the core. sounds like you have introduced a much larger volume to the intake tract. so it take a bit longer to fill with boost, which give you less response.

agreed

just the small turbo not pushing much, when you say changing, is that like 4500rpm then a gear change? or 6000rpm+rpm?

If you get a bit more boost into it (10psi), and PowerFC/S-AFC to play around with timing etc etc.

It will fix that problem of a "hole" that your having.

sounds like your referring to a change gear and then the turbo is spooling but no immediate power, wait a second or three and then it kicks in again. Everyone notices that after they fit their first fmic kit. It eventually goes away cause you get used to it.

ah cool - if Im driving spirited normally shift around 5000rpm, but yeah - tune might be the go?

sweet

Cheers guys,

Will a leak from one of the rubber intercooler piping connections cause the car to hold back?

Ofcourse, and it will run rich as hell.
