I just installed a boost controller and running 1 bar, tonight i took the car out for a spin and when i'm driviing in 3 or 4th the car just slows down as if its down shifting or something (for 2secs) then comes back to normal (it actually did it a few time).

the car is still running the stock exhaust, apart from the boost controller and a blitz bov the car is stock.

I'm guessing slipping clutch, but i've never driven a car with a slipping clutch, any ideas??

also what does a slipping clutch feel like??

when you say it feels like the brakes have been applied, is it like someone has SLAMMED them on hard, or is it like they are being applied gently?

I'm guessing it's the first, as at 1 bar, you are definately hitting the boost cut, and with a std exhaust and standard intercooler, your AFM will be maxing out! If your intercooler is stock, and you have set the ebc for 1 bar, your turbo is producing almost 2 bar, to make up for the preassure drop accross the intercooler!!!!

Keep it at this setting and your turbo wont last long at all, especially with a SII R33.

Wind it down to 0.7 bar (no more), and let us know how you go...

Even when you upgrade your intercooler and exhaust (and intake), I would not be going past 0.8 bar with the stock turbo.... if you want it to live...

I ran 14 pound on my stocky for bloody ages and nothing happend. And if its not your clutch i dont know how or why someone said it was but its not. Slipping clutch the car will just rev up but wont pull. From what your saying its not reving up. So it aint your clutch.

Either boost cut or your talking bout the standard R33 standard ecu flat spot that we have all enjoyed.

thanks everyone for your replies.

well it appears that it was hitting the boost cut off, cause i reduced the boost to 0.8 and increated the duty cycle and it seems fine. but there is a noise from the boost controller unit in the engine bay when it hits boost, apparently thats normal any comment would be appreciated

boost cut often feels like you've hit a brick wall... the motor loses revs really quickly, and it can shake the whole car up if your pushing hard....

as for the boost controller... it would be bleeding air off when you reach the stock boost level, as it needs to maintain a level below stock boost at the wastegate, but the boost that the controller (between manifold and wastegate) is seeing is still rising... so there will be air being released... it should be a reasonably quiet sound... but u might be able to notice it...

i bet your car feels quicker with 0.8 bar boost than at 1 bar with the stock cooler and exhaust, coz at 1 bar with stock cooler and exhaust u r producing more heat than power, and u can say bye bye to your turbo as it will be running nearly 2 bar as Zahos said!!

people still dont understand that more boost doesent always mean more power!:(

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!

      If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
