hey guys, this is what happened, i was driving and after a boost the car made a loud bang after i changed gears, then the car wouldn't hit boost anymore as soon as it revs up it hits a limiter at 3k revs then dies.

I checked all the intercooler piping that seems all good, i thought it was the AFM because when i unplugged it then the car idled fine and doesnt stall, then when i plugged it back in the car starts then drops revs slow then stalls,

so i bought a new AFM put it in and it started going all good then after 2 minutes done the same thing and stalled,

Car is an r34 gtt.

Definitely sounds like intercooler plumbing. Have done the exact same thing a few times. Make sure every single clamp is tight as Jez said, don't just look at them and assume they are tight. If they are all good then my money is still on a vacuum leak, but seeing as it happened after boosting then I am quite sure you will find it is the clamps.

thanks for the advice ive found it now the manifold was cooled down, the elbow silicone hose off the turbo to intercooler is rubbing on the manifold and the heat must of put a hole in it then it must of burst and put a 8 cm rip in the back off it. :action-smiley-069:

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
