Just a question to save me some stuffing about.

I have an airleak like sound once the engine trys to come on boost and power flattens off along with boost not really holding.

Other than that the engine idles great and runs very nicely under load upto the point where you try to get some boost happening.

It all started after I was demonstrating the NOS system to Miko the other night and blew off an intercooler hose, as always you crap yourself when that happens :). Due to lateness of the hour MIko and I took 4 times as long as a single non-tired person would to fix the hose.

Anyway I specualte the BOV and hope it isn't a turbo gasket or something.

Input apreciated.

Rev - I thought the standard BOV was good for 1000hp at 10 Bar? :)

Seriously - sounds like the BOV. I've got a stock one sitting round that you can bolt on to test if you like. Drop me a PM and I can give it to you over the weekend.

hey i have go fast bits mach 1 trumpet bov and i reckon its pretty good (its red) hehe hehe well anyway ive got no leaks or nothing they reckon the gfb bov are one of the strongest and have a special seal and they dont leak.. i got mates with hks and one like that and he has leaking trouble to.. well ive had 2 gfb bov and no trouble yet so im happy with them and gonna stick with them.. happy bov customer.. talk to tecknik audio they did the coolest job.. ohh sorry are you allowed to plug perfomance shops .. ahh well.. old skool cuz

The BOV I suspect because the leak occurs under boost only and has not got any worse. It could be a small split in a hose that opens up under boost too, but I think the BOV might be the first port of call (easiest to check).

I think I missed the cruise this morning, I was up till 3am last nite working out the family finances for a tax evaluation :(

It was leaking around a plug that was installed to block a pipe.. only very minor though. Not sure if it would've cause the problems that Rev was describing..

You're a curious little cat this morning aren't ya? :)

Cam,

it appears that it is probably the little vacume hose we found. Even after we blocked it up as soon as I took off it was doing the same thing again. Normally when I take off quick I get a decent amount of wheel spin, unlike last night.

I'll probably do a propper job of blocking the hose off today and see what happens.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
