had my car tuned and some goodies added about 7000 kms ago.. was running very well and putting out great power... it was running very rich then, but fuel comsumption wasnt too bad.. in that 7000 kms ive done one outing to mallala and since put on a larger fmic and had to use her for a daily for 5 weeks while my hilux was being attended to. i know my coil packs are on their way out aswell.

currant problems:

bov's constantly chatting.. struggling to build boost unles i comletely get my foot of the throttle

big bangs and sometimes random dangerious pops with a big glow behind :P especailly low revvs

huge fuel comsumption

huge lack of power... feels really sluggish on all boost settings

feels like its really holding back under boost

i recently surviced her and all vitals, oil etc are fine

i dont know why it would have gone out of tune so quickly? could it be the new fmic? could it be bov's stuffed? could the coil packs have this much effect?

feels like its gone from 300kw to 200kw....

I know it's pretty cliché to say this but in your case there is a fair chance that it's what's wrong so; start looking for boost leaks. Also those coil packs won't help your fuel consumption or your running rich, as you won't be getting complete combustion.

yerp i agree dont worry about the pops ect its just the unburnt fuel getting ignited so your poping big flames, but yer take your front bar off n undo the clamps 1 by 1 and re tighten and push each join on trying to make sure they are almost flushed and aligned

fanally got around for taking it for a small run. hits.8 ,1.0 1.1 bar fine and around 3500,4000 rpm same as always ... does this mean its not a boost leak?? was running like an absolute pig.. so hard to actually build boost to get her moving withought the bov chatter starting up.... on low revvs my bloody hilux 2.8 d is 10 times more responsive.. literally...

im stumped even on 1.1 bar showing on my avcr to was hardly boogeying at 5000 rpm

You'll find the boost leak is in the intercooler pipes somewhere - the AVCR is still programmed to run 1.1 bar or whatever you have set - so it is, albeit at the engine. In actual fact your turbos are probably running a shaft speed equivalent to a lot more boost, and the 'excess' boost pressure is being bleed off through the boost leak in your intercooler pipes or somewhere between your turbo outlet and engine inlet. My bet is where the intercooler pipes go down and through the inner passenger side guard just after the Y pipe.

Andrew, your back?!?! Welcome!

And yes, I think the problem is with the I/C piping too. We had the EXACT same issue on Steve's (madaz) car. Puzzled us for a while, checked all the hoses, they LOOKED good, but it wasn't until we actually took all the silicon joiners off that we saw the split

thanks for your informative info andrew. how ya been anyway mate!?

kinda off topic to the problem but if i block off my bov's temporarely will the turbo backspin cause much damage on linear baring turbos? even when the car is running well, chatter is a pain up the freeway so just thinking of ways to temporarily get rid of it.. got heaps to muck around with on my weeks holiday starting thrusday YAY

cheers ill make sure i pull it all appart, out and check for splits rather than just look over it briefly

thanks for the combined ideas guys sent me in the right direction apposed to waisting heaps of money on a retune and parts i dont really need just yet.

If you get really stuck let me know and I can have a look at it - blocking off the blow off valves will not hurt your turbos - but given the fact I am 95% sure it is an intercooler pipe leak, blocking them off should make zero difference to the way it drives. By doing it though, you do eliminate them as the cause :-) and yep, I'm back and Adelaide is bloody cold........

thank you for the offer but i should be right with this one it.. if/when i get it sorted wouldnt mind picking ur brain about a few things.. hahaha yeah u've come back at its coldest! u'd have some off time back here for a while yeh? u taking the monster to any mallala outings while your back??

moreso wanna block off the bov's because im over the chatter.. when it was running sweet it was still irritating (occasionally unresponsive) i wouldnt mind catching up at some stage.. find out what your doing about oil cooling... i had pretty big issues at mallala due to oil cooled turbos... was scary apposed to chads good temps.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
