ok bought new hose clamps retensioned everything and checked all the pipes... went for a drive was still running somewhat unwell everytime i got to about 4000-5000rpm the bovs would just go off even with my foot flat?? does this still point to a boostleak issue?

edit: just pulled off bov's and there is a difference between the 2... one is marginally stiffer than the other ?>

cheers chad will do tomorrow.. had enough for today.. just took it for a run with bov's off and pipes blocked... still running like a pig... guess ill have to look harder and check absolutely everything.. man this is pissing me off

ok here is where i am at... double checked all ic piping, removed and blocked bov's plus vacumes. checked nearly every other vacume hose... not popping asmuch but still feels gutless and its still struggling under boost... even thought bov's are removed it still lets off and makes a chatting noise even when im giving it throttle.. and no this sound isnt flutter its a slow chuw chow chew chow sound

**edit** just took an old sau member crimmo for a cruise and he said it sounds ignition relation.. injector duty was down around 25%.. he said i may have fried my plugs at mallala or my coilpacks are cooked... anyone got some coil packs i can borrow for a couple hours?

Mark, I've got 7 or so coil-packs lying around - not sure if they're all 100% good, I did replace them for a reason but you're welcome to borrow. As a side note - have you checked your vacuum/boost pipes that run to the wastegate cans? When I had my 32 GTR one of mine blocked up and caused the BOV(s) to flutter continuously under boost (and also caused over-boosting), wasn't exactly easy to diagnose though.

u could just be a life saver.... coil pack borrow would be amazing more than happy to exhange a 6 pack.

by vacume boost pipes?? you mean the vacume pipes that go to the actuators? they were replaced a few 1000 kms ago but ill check tomorrow when i check the plugs.. the symptoms your talking about sound soooo simialr to whats goin on with my baby atm

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
