i posted this in general, but u guys r way more helpful.. :P

Havent been driving lately, but yesterday, i took her out and something weird was happening....

now, my boost normally hits 8 psi up till 4500 rpm then steps up to 11psi.

yesterday, it wasnt stepping up at all in any gear, and sometimes it would only hit 7psi, then sometimes 9psi etc. first gear felt alright apart from the lack of boost, but all other gears felt really really flat.. like a big dead spot.

i also noticed my BOV isnt fluttering anymore and sound has changed a bit ...

all hoses / pipes seem to be on OK... anyone can help??

cheers,

dave..

thanks.. im desperate.. really need my car tomoz!

checked piping and seems all fine... my bov is on with a circlip and dont have any circlip pliers here so cant pull it apart.. what i can do is make my car just run a straight 8 psi.. will try that and see how it goes.. got no where to test at the moment.. traffic is farken shocking here.

sounds like there is a leak in one of the piping hoses... thats what was happening to me after i took all the pipes off and put em back on again... the hose was not quite on right and boost was all over the place.

if not... what are u using to up the boost?

my ecu seems to do it.. so when i unplug the factory boost solenoid it just sits at 8psi...

all the pipes look tight.. and nothing in the eng bay has been changed... and car was running perfect on thursday night (apart from the lack of fuel)...... then friday its gone dodgy...

check the wires on the stock boost solenoid, or better just chuck a bleed valve in there and then u wont get that 2 satge boost crap

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
