About the only thing that will make the car make boost in neutral like that is a skipped timing belt, retarding the cam and ignition timing.

Okay, got the mechanic to change the timing belt and this did not solve the problem. He said that it did not skip a tooth and all marks line up (found out that it has Toda branded adjustable intake and exhaust cam pulleys). He then disconnected the exhaust at the Cat converter and when revving it out of gear it did not make quite so much boost. We took it for a drive with it disconnected but the same problem was still there. The mechanic said that it feels if there is a blockage somewhere in the intake. While driving the car it was coming on to full boost at 3000rpm but is struggling to get there.

Things that have been checked so far;

turbo's spin freely,

cat converter is not blocked,

compression tested with all cylinders passing,

spark plugs are fine (the car does not missfire),

This problem is proving difficult to find, I am hoping someone out there might have some more suggestions on what could be causing all of this.

i would try a set of AFM and ecu if you can swap them with somone, so you know there good AFM problems usally limit car to 2000rpm or below. Also a backfire can damage the hot wire in the AFM.

Is it overfuling whith no load (in neautral), do have black smoke out the exhaust? what rpm can you get when free reving? are you still getting boost in neautral when the engine is cold?

cheers

Yes it is overfuelling with no load, with plenty of black sooty smoke.

At this stage while in neutral I am not confident in revving past the 4500rpm as it is hitting mas boost before that (though I have taken it past 6000rpm once).

All symptoms are the same whether the engine is cold or warmed up.

I have two spare AFMs (working conditions uncertain) but changing them over has not improved the engine problem so far.

Cheers.

Well the mechanic reckons that it is a possible sticky/faulty BOV. No the problem is intermittent as we were able to drive it normally for a little while, and now when driving anywhere between 4000-5500rpm it will dump all boost. Only change was the mechanic blowing pressure from the intake of the intercooler up to the plenum chamber.

Would a possible faulty OV be the cause of all of this? I am hoping this is it and all will be fixed.

i will check all sensors sounds like its in lime mode like when u unplug a afm etc so be checking voltages from sensors

But I thought that the ECU will not let you rev past 2000rpm when in limp mode? At the moment the car is running fine except when you get anywhere between 4000-5500rpm, where it cuts all boost/timing/fuel/whatever I am not sure but once it is below 4000rpm it runs fine.

I have been searching other posts, I found one where the symptoms are similar and the possible fault is either BOV's or the boost solenoid.

Cheers :)

Hey I reckon your problem would be a blocked vac line.

I say this because I have the same car, same prob exaxtly

(blew hose than had more probs later) checked everything.

Found a dead vac line on the very bottom of the intake plenum,

closest to the firewall.

Dont know the best way to unblock this one as it was inside the plenum(not the line itself)

So I just gave a quick blow in the line with an air compressor, and its been fine since.

Hope this helps

i cant explain the overboosting but my car hesitated to go past 2500 rpm and stalled on idle, soldered up the afms and its fine now, try finding a working set of afms to test it, no point using dodgy afms to test if ur afms work or not

sory mate didint read the page 2 posts

It might not be the AFMs themselves but a problem in the plug or wiring. I had similar problem when i first got my car and swapped my ARF with known working ones, but the problem was still there so i ruled them out. It turned out to be a problem in the wiring causing one ARF to intermittently drop in voltage, thus causing the stalling/rough running. I rewired both my AFM and have never had a problem since.

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
