Depending on what rpm you are changing gears at, it could be falling below the boost threashold, which would explain slow boost build. Also running an atmo bov will still effect the running, as it still has an AFM, which will result in super rich a/f ratios, whilst maintaining fairly high ignition values. Neither of these are good for maintaining turbo shaft speed.

A tuning trick which works surprisingly well, is to tune the cells where it hits on gearchange to run 5 deg BTDC running 12:1 AFR, this give a poor mans anti lag. Just make sure it isnt the same cell where you cruise on the freeway.

just to touch up on that subject, would it make a r34gtt auto yes auto, if i was to change the standard bov for an aftermarket one, can i make the boost come back quicker. She s a bit slow once i shift the ttronic to a higher gear ?

does anyone here use antilag? I just got a PFC Pro version which has that feature will be interesting to play with, will it drop at all between gears?

The PFC Pro version has 'launch control'. It only works when your speed is 0kmph. You set the RPM that you want it to work at say 4000rpm. If you put your foot flat to the floor then it will sit a 4000rpm like a rev limiter. It just retards/cuts ignition and therefore the air-fuel mixture ends up igniting in the manifold/turbo which spins it up. I don't really use it as I don't want to kill my standard turbo.. yet.

The Pro version also uses ignition cut at redline instead of fuel cut like standard ones.

when you change gears you have to take your foot off the throttle, you lose all of the pressure(boost) inbetween the compressor side of your turbo to your intake manifold. when you put the throttle on after the gear change, your pressure(boost) has to build up again. The bigger the turbo, the more time it takes to build up that pressure again...

...your dont "have" to take your foot off the throttle....

like joeyjoejoe said, flatshift the bastard haha!

But seriously, its what a turbo car does, you dont make boost when your not on the throttle.

Change gears at higher rpm, double clutching and doing faster changes might minimise the effect, but its not exactly gentle on the car.

Nothing much you can really do to keep the turbo making boost while the throttle is closed.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
