Air Issue I Think?

Hi their i have an R33 S1 GTS-T.

Last night when i finished work i noticed when i took off the engine sounded like it was sucking alot of air as i was building up speed. It was fairly noisy than normal and also the BOV wasn't making the same noise as i backed off the accelarator. Also when you stuck the foot into it i noticed a fairly noticeable power loss aswell than normal. It just doesn't pull like usual. Had a quick look at my HKS Pod and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and also checked the hoses for leaks but came up with nothing. When it was running it didn't run hot at all either.

Any Ideas Guys?

Thx James

Rather sounds like an intake leak. Could be anything along the way after the turbo.. (intercooler piping)

It would give you all those symptoms. The charge-air escaping would be louder than your filter intake sound, and it would give you pretty poor performance as the leak opens up.

Had a very thorough look at all my pipework today except for the exhaust manifold and looked at all the clamps and not one was loose. Today it has started to idle roughly and occasionally stall when pulling up.

Any more ideas?

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
