Hey Guys,

I just bough a 92 r32 gts-t, its stock as a rock. The car drives well, boost kicks in at 3000rpm and is full of power till 5000rpm where you feel like a lack of power from there till redline.

I was wondering has anyone had the same problems, if so what should i be looking at.

Thanks for your help

a BOV?

how would that make it any better?

they come with one from the factory.

Anyhow... the turbo on the RB20/s... red/silver tops runs out of puff around that mark.

If your car is stock as you say, then get your exhaust done, that's a good start.

That'll give you more all round, and the boost will naturally rise a 1-2 psi with that also

it gave me a little better bottom end too on my old coupe when i had it done.

you'd be surprised at the difference and the responsiveness.

If that's not enough do what others do and put the RB25 turbo on your car. and give it a bit more boost to boot...

it'll pull all the way to redline then!

I had the same problem and it turned out to be that the knock sensors were disconnected. at around 5300-5500rpm there was a noticable drop in power, drove me insane. Search the froums on how to do a diagnostics with the ecu and that will tell you. Good luck. Also now with the knock sensors connected it made ok power to around 62-6500rpm.

Nah, im saying when I bought the car the owner had the std. bov fitted due to being defected. The car felt really restricted above 5k. I fitted the hks sequential that the owner gave me, reset the comp, the "viola", dont ask me why, it revved so smooth to 6500 -7000 rpm.

Im not saying this is a solution, or starting an argument, I'm saying this is what happened on MY car.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
