Hey guys, just got a problem hoping someone can help me with it or point me in the right direction to get it fixed.

I have a rb20 with a turbo from hypergear, nistune ecu, injectors, front mount, full exhaust all the usual mods, when i rev it out from 1st gear to second gear in high rpm it bogs down/lag and then the power kicks back in once ur in second gear, its almost feels like u slam on the brakes inbetween the gear change. Uts getting really annoying and i dont know what it could be, i thought it could be the BOV, coz i had it blocked off so i thought it might have been the air going back out the turbo slowing the wheel down but unblocked it and it still does it, i also have the pipe that comes off the BOV just pointing into the engine bay, not back into the intake, its still a stock BOV aswell.

If anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated.

Do you mean where the plumb back pipe connects into the intake pipe, it's not connected?

So you are sucking air into the turbo through the hole in the side of the intake pipe?

Air that is unfiltered and also not measured by the AFM?

This would be a problem me thinks...

The Bov plumb back pipe, it's not attached to the Bov right?

Is the other end still attached to the intake pipe between the AFM and the Turbo?

Have you blocked any of the open pipes?

Its just the normal stock BOV and the pipe that from the trumpet bit of it just goes to no where to the engine bay, it used to go to some pipe which took it back to the intake for the emision reasons, but since upgrading to another turbo i had to get rid of all that so that bit of pipe just vents to the engine bay, and no other pipes have been blocked either

Blame the tuner :P

Waiting on NIStunes reply. They emailed today. Hopefuly have a few answers tomorrow

send it through if you need a quick reply, have the tuning lappy at home tonight.

I also had this problem on the R33, happens the air doses backwards onto the AFM. It was fixed by relocating the afm into the cooler piping.

Definatey seems like the same issue, and to clear things up its not a lag issue, its a hesitation

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
