Since getting my car tuned iv noticed i get a small flat spot immediatly after changin gears for only second, it mostly happens with big revs(7000rpm+) between 2nd and 3rd mostly. Also full boost in 4th gear and sometimes 3rd (18 psi) seems to fluctuate and the boost needle goes crazy from like 16 to 18 and it sounds like im slightly taking my foot off and on the gas making a chuffing flutter noise.

the car is a rb20det 306rwhp with safc management standard afm, but with everything else supporting. driving normal and below 15 psi its great and smooth.

Ideas? experiances?..

Cheers

are you running a bov?

that chuffing/flutter noise is compressor surge, which slows the compressor speed quite alot during gear changes or when you back off on the accelerator, which can cause lag inbetween gear changes.

what boost gauge are you reading off? also what turbo setup are you running?

also that standard airfow meter would of been maxed out ages ago, my bet its at 5volts at 4500-5000rpm, so get a z32 and get it retuned

I know what compressor surge is, its not when i back off the throttle its on throttle up hills, under load.. which it could be compressor surge, just different. So do you think its my afm causing the issues?..i think its compressor surge...as its fine when i give it enough revs.

Its a hiflow rb25 set-up by the way, im reading off the boost gauge i installed, its closest to the inlet i could get. Im running the std bov.

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
