Only just got my GTR back from the workshop with the new addition of forged pistons and still have 500 k's before im over the safe 1000. Only been boostin it to 4000 just to run it in. It has N1's which start spooling at 2500 so it still puts you back but every now and then it feels like it doesn't want to boost. Im thinking its something to do with the turbos?? Don't know much cause the last turbo i had was in a 1 litre charade and that was only to give it enough power to get up the hills :)

You on a standard tune, could be boost cutting as it hits 4000rpm if you've upped the boost from standard without remapping the ECU and removing all that business.

If they start spooling at 2500 youd be near full boost by 4000rpm i would think... or is it immediately after they start boosting?

In which case I'd check for things like leaks, wastegate, disconnected lines etc.

Can you be a bit more specific, does it surge, or just plateau out, or cut out all together in terms of boost when you say "it doesnt want to boost"

what boost are you running, and what is controlling the boost? if you have a boost controller then it may be slightly blocked and not releasing the air between it and the wastegate, so when you try to accelerate the wastegate is still open and it won't spool up properly.

I've talked to my mechanic about it and he reckon's its the coil pack without looking at it. He said the first time he started it up it was only running on 5 cylinders then after a couple of minutes the 6th picked up. Thinking about it, it makes sense if its a firing problem. I said it was 'every now and then' and most of the other time it's great. At 4000 it doesn't feel like it going to run out of boost!!

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
