A faulty blow off valve and the way you have described your fix firstly has to be corrected.

Then get a new cat..if it is faulty.

You will then need to reset your computer...I think you are in limp mode

Limp mode Hey! Never Heard of it b4!!!

Only got the One BOV hooked up with the 2 vaccum lines running into it. The Other Bov is still on there but has a metal plate behind it so it won't let anything escape.

boost leak?

Reset the ECU? Certain mods (such as BOV's) can confuse the computer and make it run poorly..

something so small as plugs or cat are not going to make 20 - 50Kw diffrence..

When did you change your oil and oil filter last?

Has anyone worked on the car before it got sluggish?

I know of many stories of people leaving the rags blocking the turbo piping (so no sh*t falls in while your working on it) and forgetting to take them out before connecting the piping back together..

A/F ratios? how do they sit?

Edited by GTS4WD

Check the faults in the computer..

Check your fuel pressure.....

Check your injectors...have them cleaned

Check your cat...

Check you have boost...and no leaks.

If they all are correct....borrow or buy a second hand stock computer..plug it in and see if this fixes your problem.

Good luck with your find.....hope it is just as simple as a cat or a blockage in your muffler.

Oil and filter Were Put in Just b4 the Dyno run so they have only done dyno time!

Said the Boost is Running at 11 PSI and he did tell me about the rag incidents today actually when he was letting me know about the problems!! was talking the car up that everything was running fine so i was getting excited until he said it got crap on the dyno!!!!! (car was originally in the shop cause it was Running to rich for some reason so i said wack it on the dyno for me and give me a tune. They also Run the Consult as well so i

'm not to sure how the A/F ratios.)

Will let the Mech No mate! Cheers for the Help hey!! Greatly Appreciated!! ta!

Compliance cats are well known killers of power.

Its easy enough to drop the exhaust before the cat and run it on the dyno again...or go for a drive and see if the car feels less 'choked'

Start with the obvious things like the exhaust before doing the smaller things. Limp mode is exactly that, LIMP mode...as in your car wont rev, wont make nowhere near 150rwkw and will be barely movable. Designed to get the car home from wherever you are, not cost you 20kw

Thanks for the info Bro!!!

And when you say Limp mode, how far will it rev when it is in Limp mode??

when i got mine done they were saying 150 to 160 is stock. i made 194rwkw and i just got exhaust n airfilters

it all depends what dyno you use though, you could dyno it twice in 1 day at 2 different places and get different results. not to mention you'll get a better score in cooler weather than in hot. they not the most accurate thing in the world. i mean why would they do 3 runs in comp's if it gave a perfect answer everytime.

you'd be best off getting someone else with a stock gtr 2 race you or get them to go down the dyno at the same time and compare the results then.

Ok guys its still Running 151 and its not the Cat! Cat was taken of today and all good! Now they reckon its the ECU!!! Who F#CKIN KNOWS NOW!!!

Hey Thanks for the Advice!!! Might let the Mechanic Know! Where abouts are they??

could be a low reading dyno. how do other cars go on his dyno.

my old SR20 180 got 151 RWKW with just catback, filter and 15psi. And i had a 1J with same mods got 180RWKW. (EDIT:Both on Dyno dynamics in shootout mode on dyno days)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
