hi there

Not sure if anyone has had the same problem but my at high rev range seems start popping and cracking.

apparenlty from behind theres alot of black smoke and crackles coming out.

just seems to keep on popping when i floor anywhere above 5000rpm at first gear.

can anyone help?

Edited by thinh
nah not just first. happens all the way through to 3rd gear never been able to get higher.

and whats t he usual ignition checks?

i had something simular and it was just worn out/lower grade sparkplugs or to bigger gap if not coilpacks worth a check cheapest first

oh no worries. i got a set of new spark plugs at home but just never got around to changing them.

il try put them in tonight.

Sounds like detonation to me. Could be time for a new fuel pump and a tune up.

Could also be the spark blowing out at high boost that that will usally happen when boost comes on as aposed to at high revs.

Change and gap the plugs. If it still happend then its detonation which will kill a motor prety quick.

oh okay thanks alot for all your help but now i cant even test out my new spark plugs

cause my car wont even run =/

becuase after i came back from the mountins near home ( thank god) my car started losing

power. everthing slowly started dieing, and then everything shutdown.

i can jump start the car and let it run off the jumper battery but the moment i

take the leads off the car just cuts out.

PROBLEM AFTER PRBLEM =[

    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
