Hey guys, recently just had this issue. The problem is that when i put my foot down in 3rd or 4th or any of the gears well mainly the 3rd or 4th(MANUAL), my rev just goes back a little bit like the car dies out but comes back a second.. Could this be my clutch? it feels like a clutch issue. My current mods to my car atm are a Full 3" exhaust with highflow cat, Bleed valve @ 10-11psi, Apexi Pod,FMIC,walbro fuelpump 255l,splitfire coil packs with plugs BCP6RES 0.8mm. Thanks. I was thinking if it was the clutch?

Clutch would mean the car rev's up more easily/free without actually going any faster.

To me, basically the same as every other thread on the mid RPM 'hole'.

Your running 10-11psi on the stock ECU so its likely to be having a fit and going into R&R mode (which is impecably well documented)

when im doing about 70kms on 3rd gear full throttle, the car just splutters or for like half a 2nd then clims up ... usually when you put your foot down it just pulls off... now it does some sort of half a 2nd stutter...

i just checked em before. everything is fine, it still goes down like i duno how to explain it, i thnk its the clutch sleeping when i put my foot down......

Red bull would really wake up a sleeping clutch......

so it could be the timing? Because it was fine just a couple of days ago............could it be the gearbox?

il try and explain it again.... Just say im on 3rd gear and my rev is at about 3-4prm .. If i plant my foot down, my car will stutter for about half a mili second n then just pull a lil.... sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesnt. .. its wierd...

ive got a similar problem. except mine does it in 3rd 4th at about 2-3000rpm. i could notice it more when i got my new turbos put in.

ive been told my car runs lean and the timing retards which causes like a jerking sensation, only for a split second or while im "cruising" and my revs are floating from 2-3000rpm.

correct me if im wrong.

hopes this helps

not a clutch, gearbox or diff issue, its 100% around the engine,

as R31Nismoid has said, check things like spark and timing, AFM, to be honest, could be something to even do with fuel,

say when you put your foot down, it just puts a lot more fuel into the engine then wat its ment to which causes the drop in power because it cant really burn it (splutters), then once thats out of the system 0.5secs or what ever it might be it will burn normal again and you get power back,,

If it was your clutch and you put your foot down, revs will go up, speed will go down becuase your not going anywhere, and normally once it starts burning like that it wont grab at the higher revs,

so take the point of gearbox or clutch completely out,

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
