Since getting my car tuned iv noticed i get a small flat spot immediatly after changin gears for only second, it mostly happens with big revs(7000rpm+) between 2nd and 3rd mostly. Also full boost in 4th gear and sometimes 3rd (18 psi) seems to fluctuate and the boost needle goes crazy from like 16 to 18 and it sounds like im slightly taking my foot off and on the gas making a chuffing flutter noise.

the car is a rb20det 306rwhp with safc management standard afm, but with everything else supporting. driving normal and below 15 psi its great and smooth.

Ideas? experiances?..

Cheers

are you running a bov?

that chuffing/flutter noise is compressor surge, which slows the compressor speed quite alot during gear changes or when you back off on the accelerator, which can cause lag inbetween gear changes.

what boost gauge are you reading off? also what turbo setup are you running?

also that standard airfow meter would of been maxed out ages ago, my bet its at 5volts at 4500-5000rpm, so get a z32 and get it retuned

I know what compressor surge is, its not when i back off the throttle its on throttle up hills, under load.. which it could be compressor surge, just different. So do you think its my afm causing the issues?..i think its compressor surge...as its fine when i give it enough revs.

Its a hiflow rb25 set-up by the way, im reading off the boost gauge i installed, its closest to the inlet i could get. Im running the std bov.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
