Hey peeps,

Bit of trouble im still having trouble pin pointing. I have a r32 with a r34 turbo, cooler, adjustable cam gears, all tuned etc.

The car used to run 14psi quite happily. But all of a sudden it started playing up and now i cant run over 10psi without losing a heap of power!

It boosts up to 14psi no worries but it loses power strqight away. It still revs up but definatly not as quick as normal. It also makes a weird running sound when doing it. Almost like the car cant get enough Air.

I have checked all piping and airbox, connections etc and i cant find an issue.

Has any body else had a similar problem or would know what is causing this problem?

Thanks heaps! :thumbsup:

Get it on a dyno and see whats going on.

The AFR's might tell a story. Fuel pump might not be right?

Maybe slightly leaky cooler piping (just cause you checked doesnt mean you found it) etc.

Either way its very hard to tell without seeing the car.

Go have a chat to a workshop :thumbsup:

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
