hey i have a strange hesitation when accelerating. it accelerates to about 3800/4000rpm then really struggles (big lack of power) then once it gets to 5000/5200rpm it kicks hard again at full boost. any ideas?? please!

only mods are turbo back exhaust, k and n pod and turbo smart bov. no boost controllers.

Lets do this by trail and error. Yes Just make sure they are gapped to .8mm. 1.1mm is great for modded cars but you have much the same as I had.

Yes try cleaning the air-flow meter with brake cleaner. Take it easy on the trigger,,,just a mist spray. Some say they are self cleaning but that is just not true.

Next get rid of that stupid bov and go back to the factory one. On standard boost the factory one is more than capable.

It can't be coils because they only ever fail at higher rpm.

If all this doesn't fix it you need to start talking to a Mechanic.

Neil, I thought 1.1 was good for standard cars but 0.8 for modded? :confused: Also, the factory bov is more than capable, but so is the turbo smart one. So why bother wasting time and effort pulling something off that already works properly?

Sir33-I had a similar issue but my car struggled from 4000rpm onwards, I changed spark plugs and gapped them to .8 but it didn't fix my problem.I then took it to a workshop and they fixed it.The guy on the counter said that it was my spark plugs and that the mechanic re-gapped them.I tried to find out at what gap he set them but the mechanic wasn't around.Car is going unreal now.

Jimx sorry,,,Yes I got it around the wrong way. 1.1 for stock and .8 for the big boost boys. The reason I want him to go back to the factory bov is to see what happens. Maybe the Turbo-smart one he's using is faulty, Wouldn't be the 1st time a product straight out of the box was stuffed.

i was told best to get a  aftermarket ecu like power fc or safc and it'll fix the prob.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
