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,

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
