hi all

k now the problem im getting is, lets say im at 2500rpm, put foot flat to the floor, get to 10psi boost, car doesnt want to accelerate to its full potenial, feels like its pulling a caravan up until 5500rpm, after that it takes off an accelerates fine.

During its moment between 2500-5500rpm, if you gradually come off the throttle, till boost backs off to say 5-8psi, itll pull harder than if you mashed the pedal full throttle, when its really cold outside the car may pop an cough a little while said load issue is occuring, its not a miss, maybe a break down in the ignitor

Ive replaced afm, ecu, coilpacks and turbo(1st one shat itself), theres no boost leaks, wastegate is working fine, no boost controller connected, replaced fuel filter, replaced plugs.

mods are fmic, bosch 040, 3" turbo back(no cat), bov which is working fine and a pod, also the ecu i swapped has a small tune on it, i noticed slightly better performance once swapped over but still not getting full power

been scratchin my head for aaages over this, almost thinking about going thru and replacing cas, ignitor, knock sensors and tps

any help would be great guys

cheers

nathan

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
