Lads,

Car bogs down from relatively low revs on WOT when coming on boost. Between 2-3500 revs. Its not really stuttering or surging, and not always. Just a dip/flat spot in power.

I havent replaced sparks or coilpacks. From reading threads coilpack failure seems to occur higher in the revs with a prominent stutter??

Mods.

FMIC return flow JJR

z32 NISTUNE

K&N FILTER

3inch exhaust

12psi

Maybe a leak, check all vac hoses, pipe clamps and the intercooler core for any small pinholes. If it's fine under cold wather conditions and losing boost response under warmer conditions (besides the fact it is warmer and oyu will lose a little power anyway) then a leak it may be.

Has it always been that way? What changed since it started happening? IIRC the z32 Nistune into R33 needs some magic (different TPSes?)

Yeah since ive added to EBC and Nistune. I rarely ever load it up like that so ive never noticed it too much before. Actually noticed it as a passenger for the first time.

Yes it has different tps being a z32 ecu and this causes a stutter on/off throttle....

Its hard to describe the fault without driving it. Ill replace sparks and coilpacks and see what happens. getting turbo highflowed soon so ill probably need to do that anyhow...

Cheers.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
