NO BANANAS FOR YOU! i turned off the ebc so I was only running 8 pound.... unless its on R&R all the time, NO FIX! the car feels sluggish and not fun.... I wouldnt be hitting R&R at 8 pound would I? One reason I think I'm not is that I am sucking through the standard airbox without the snorkel... I.e. its drawing hot as air from the engine....

Explain this again.

you are in lets say 2nd gear.

foot to the floor, you accelerate to 6000rpm?

then step on clutch to change gears.

you hear some flutter and the car jerks a little (while you are off the gas).

or does the jerking happen once you've got in to next gear and plant it again?

Hmmm.... good questions ask you....

I drive the car pretty easy most of the time. So when changing normally around town (3000rpm) I dont shift extremely quickly and you can feel the car jerk around a little bit, feels as though the pressure is bouncing around a fair bit....

When at high rpm, and quickly changing between gears, it doesnt seem to jerk as much.... Less time for the air to bounce around???

I read through the R&R stuff on other threads and I'm sure the car is suffering from it, however this seems different.

but explain the moment of the jerking (eewww)

is it, when foot is on clutch, or when in gear and accelerating AFTER changing gears?

may be a stupid question but have you taken the stock bov off and checked to make sure it's not blocked off with a plate?

or that the plumback line doesn't have a cork of some kind in there?

this is the way I see it.

1.) car jerks when accelerating after chaning gears.. as in you are back on the boost = R&R

2.) car jerks when you are off the accelerator AFTER boosting = blocked bov.

you have said that you get flutter so I am leaning towards the fact that either the bov is blocked or that the tiny bleed hole under the bov base is blocked.

either way.

a few clamps and 2 bolts and the bov comes off.

remove it and check what I mentioned.

I'm getting this same problem, it jerks when i get back onto the gas after a gear change ie: if i rev it up and dump it into the next gear i get a nice fart and jerk before i go anywhere.

Got a highflow with chipped ecu and z32 afm

getting a gtr bov this arvo so maybe it might fix it

Not sure if it's always done it

I never used to drive it that hard so i've only started to notice it recently

Nothings changed since anyway

I haven't got a working scanner atm but my afr's are pretty flat along the 11's since its tuned for 20psi and im only running 15ish

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
