hi,

why would i be getting hesitation on boost? i can switch between 10 and 13 psi. there are no problems at all before the turbo starts spooling and hitting boost. but as soon as the turbo starts kicking in at around 3000rpm there is hesitation and lack of power.

i am running bcpr7es-8 ngk copper plugs. should i be running bcpr6es-8 instead with my boost? the plugs are new btw.

ive checked for leaks, nothing wrong there... i have new splitfire coilpacks. timing is at 15

could the tps be causing a problem like this?

any help would be appreciated.

thank you

Did you mess with the plug gaps at all? As in, did you open them up or something silly?....When did it start missing? After you changed the plugs?

i didnt mess with them. all 6 are brand new gapped at .8. the car isnt misfiring at all. ther basically isnt any power on boost, u can hear the turbo spooling up, but instead of feeling the power kicking in, the car hesitates/stumbles. this only happens in the rev range when the turbo starts kicking in, otherwise it drives perfectly.

ive also noticed that if i gradually accelerate this hesitation/stumbling goes away. but if i hit the accelerator hard, then u can definately feel the problem, the car basically gets no kick from the turbo.

im running a standard ecu which has been tuned

LOLLLL

What the hell did you expect?

Get an aftermarket ecu, nistune or someone with a real time tuning board to make an epprom chip up for you on a dyno. Oh and obviously pay someone to actually tune it properly, don't get a cheapskate $200 tune.

hey mate when it does its little spit, say youre on full throttle at about 3500-4500, does it feel like the cars pulling a caravan then once it gets up to say 5500 and beyond it clears up and makes full boost?

You do not know what he means by 'tuned', thus should not be jumping to conclusions.

The RB20 ecu has a socket for a rom chip that can be tuned (painfully) as well as any other daughterboard modified ecu.

To the OP, recheck your works and try installing the actuator from the turbo you removed and running stock boost.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
