ok bought new hose clamps retensioned everything and checked all the pipes... went for a drive was still running somewhat unwell everytime i got to about 4000-5000rpm the bovs would just go off even with my foot flat?? does this still point to a boostleak issue?

edit: just pulled off bov's and there is a difference between the 2... one is marginally stiffer than the other ?>

cheers chad will do tomorrow.. had enough for today.. just took it for a run with bov's off and pipes blocked... still running like a pig... guess ill have to look harder and check absolutely everything.. man this is pissing me off

ok here is where i am at... double checked all ic piping, removed and blocked bov's plus vacumes. checked nearly every other vacume hose... not popping asmuch but still feels gutless and its still struggling under boost... even thought bov's are removed it still lets off and makes a chatting noise even when im giving it throttle.. and no this sound isnt flutter its a slow chuw chow chew chow sound

**edit** just took an old sau member crimmo for a cruise and he said it sounds ignition relation.. injector duty was down around 25%.. he said i may have fried my plugs at mallala or my coilpacks are cooked... anyone got some coil packs i can borrow for a couple hours?

Mark, I've got 7 or so coil-packs lying around - not sure if they're all 100% good, I did replace them for a reason but you're welcome to borrow. As a side note - have you checked your vacuum/boost pipes that run to the wastegate cans? When I had my 32 GTR one of mine blocked up and caused the BOV(s) to flutter continuously under boost (and also caused over-boosting), wasn't exactly easy to diagnose though.

u could just be a life saver.... coil pack borrow would be amazing more than happy to exhange a 6 pack.

by vacume boost pipes?? you mean the vacume pipes that go to the actuators? they were replaced a few 1000 kms ago but ill check tomorrow when i check the plugs.. the symptoms your talking about sound soooo simialr to whats goin on with my baby atm

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
