Loss Of Power After Spirited Driving

Now what i mean by 'spirited driving' is not really from traffic light to traffic light. With a mate on a rolling start ive pushed it and braked to start on a roll, over and over again. Then there was a point where i realised that i was losing power, getting BOV Flutter as if i have no BOV, and NO pod filter intake sound at all! The weird thing is, i only get this issue for about a minute, then it goes back to normal where i gain the power back, hear the bov properly and also hear the intake sound. If this was the first time, i would of thought i heard wrong, but this is the 2nd time it happened. THe first time was after abit of spirited driving in the same style as well.

Ive got a HKS SSQV BOV, and im not sure if its real or fake cuz ive just bought it 2nd hand privately. Im thinking maybe it could be the BOV as i haven't had this issue before i put the HKS BOV on. But its been a long long while since ive put it on and i haven't noticed it so far till recently since i haven't really had much spirited driving or track since.

What are the possibilities for this happening?

- HKS SSQV BOV ( LEAK?)

- My Stock TURBO?

Need some help on this guys. Thanks alot for any input!

thanks for the replies. If i block the BOV off completely, wouldn't i still need to give it a bit of pushing to wait for it to occur again? Cuz its very random.

Im going to try put the stock one back on to see if it solves the issue. So everyone is just agreeing that it may very well be the BOV and can be nothing else such as the turbo? Cuz the pipes are all fine and connected. Should be no leak but then again, its a random thing so... I don't get iT?

are you still running the standard rubber air intake to the turbo? have heard of these sucking closed, would explain the loss of turbo spool sound and so on

standard rubber air intake? Sorry but wats that? Everythings basically standard except K&N pod filter, EBC, BOV in the engine bay area. SO im assuming i do have the standard rubber air intake.

If this could cause the issues ive described, could you please help me out in more sense to myself plz?

the intake pipe (between the air flow meter and the inlet of the turbo) is fairley soft on a r34 gtt. sometimes when the car is under full load on boost it can suck the intake pipe shut, kinda like if u put your hand around it and sqeezed it together.

Most people go about fixing that problem by cutting the intake pipe in the middle and putting a metal joiner in it, or buy a aftermarket silicon intake pipe from just jap etc.

oh serious!? thanks heaps barney for the help~ so i guess its not the BOV after all...

Ill go about replacing the intake pipe to an aftermarket silicon then.

Cheers

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
