hey everyone,

mate has a stock GTT manual, no mods

told me his boost gauge (stock one) still shows boost at 2.5k rpm but at that amount of revs there is actually no boost at all

he can't feel anything and boost never comes on, says all his piping and wires are done properly and nothing looks wrong

could it be his airflow that's the problem?

actually, he says he LOSES power after 2.5k rpm but the gauge still shows

he's just sms'ing me and i haven't been able to check out his car, anyone have any idea as to how we can diagnose this problem?

any advice would be massively appreciated, cheers!

Andrew

maybe its to do with the turbine ? maybe the fins broke off and lodge somewhere ? could that be a possibility ... remember Brendan

alright everyone, thanks for the advice, i still haven't been able to check out his car but he's told me that it was the air flow and that it was fitted the wrong way!?

he said it's all good now, i thought it was a bit strange lol

thanks all!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
