hey guys got my turbo put on, all tuned on 16.5 psi running 251rwk with all supporting mods.

the turbo does hold boost but as soon as u hit 5,000rpm it just hesitates and drops off to 5 psi. can hear a hiss but cant find it.

took my car for a drive tonight and didnt feel as strong at higher rpm.

boosted it again and it got way worse. in 3rd gear soon as i hit full boost car feels like the brakes are being applied and wont rev anymore.

the first couple of times when its just warming up is fine then it does it. boost was dropping down to 4-5 psi.

turbo is new. checked all my hoses and inspected the turbo and its perfect still.

only thing i can think of what i did last week i wasnt paying attention and i ran up a rounded gutter and cracked my front bar. been doing it since then. few days ago

have you checked all your pipework? sounds like a leak from something.... try getting under the hood and flicking the throttle cable see if you can hear where the leaks coming from.... as for the car feeling like the brakes have been applied that souds like saftey mode so you dont blow it up....

ok fixed the hose problem but it still drops off boost sometimes.

it only does it when its been thrashed after about 6 times or so.

spoke to my tuner and he thinks it could be my hdi boost controller solenoid getting way too hot. or an actuator issue?

thoughts and experiences if anyones had a ebc prob or actuator prob?

today i further inspected the problem and still couldnt find the prob.

so far i have done a boost leak test.

changed boost controllers

took off front bar inspected cooler and silicon piping

changed all boost line hoses from actuator.

only thing i can think of is maybe the intake pipe is sucking closed.

cause it only does it when u hit the throttle hard on down gear, or at top end as i change hard into 4th. and sometimes 3rd

it does sound like a boost leak coz at high rpm it drops but if it was it would have given way and popped off hope u work it out! Try connecting a hose straight from the wastegate to the intercooler piping and see what it does then?

ive done everything and soon as the car gets hot after a couple of runs its still doing it.

i done rev210's intake pipe mod also, so i dont know what to do.

only thing i can think of is not enough preload on the actuator. its set to half a hole at the moment.

another theory. if i have faulty plugs and when the car gets real hot would it cause less combustion thus the major boost drop?

mate i had simular prob wif my gtr first noticed it on a trip to melb hit full boost than dropped to half and it would only half boost up after that untill i restarted the car then it was normal again its happined about 3 times now but they have been on really hot days so i just thought it was the ecu in safe mode or something

I'd be doing another boost leak test - if you ran up a gutter and cracked your front bar youve proabbly done somthing to your FMIC or piping. Stick a can of baked beans in the intake and pump it up with an air compressor. make sure you go under the car to listen for leaks too.

ive taken the fmic out completely and inspected the piping and tanks. they are perfect

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
