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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
