all he did was changed oil, oil filter and few minor things that dont contribute to motor, when you put your foot into it, it has power until about 3,000rpm then starts losing boost but picks up again and then cuts out again, its constant throughout the rev range

Could be any number of things from bad fuel, to coil packs to air flow meter to vacuum leak... Very hard to say based on the information you've provided. E-Mechanic isn't an easy occupation.

Did the mechanic do your fuel filter? Does the car seem like it's running rich at all, any black smoke coming out the exhaust when these surges occur? Does it idle nicely?

Get that receipt, list everything done. Then we might actually be able to help.

RB oil filter changes are notorious for being a complete pain in the ass, a careless mechanic can easily damage a vacuum hose causing the motor to overboost and hit R&R.

ok heres what was done

-change oil and oil filter

-check brakes

-top up fluids

-check lights steering tyres suspension etc

This sounds like your issue. I bet he has played around with some hoses and not noticed has has pulled one off or he has replaced one and not put a clamp back on, etc etc. I would just go over all your hoses, and I mean all of them. Unfortunately it's not a fun job on a Neo confused.gif

As for oil, I personally always use full synthetic as well but it's not realllllly critical. Semi-synthetic will do the job.

Did you find out what the issue was? I have a similar problem except mine surges between 4000 & 5000 RPM & then pulls fine from there to redline. It only happens when my foot is flat not at part throttle.

That sounds like RnR to me. Cold weather, possibly running a touch more boost and maxxing out your AFM.

I thought it might be R&R. It doesn't have a boost controller on it so should be running stock boost although the boost gauge shows about 0.7 bar.

I reset the ECU & also changed the BOV so it was re-circulating again & it seemed to almost fix the problem, now its just a slight hesitation at 4500rpm only sometimes, other times its fine.

The re-circulating pipe isn't 100% sealed so I will seal it all up & see if that fixes it.

unless the mechanic is a complete berk then he shouldnt of knocked any vacuum hoses off when changing the oil (at least)engine bay is large and oil filter easy to get to when compared to a 32 anyway

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
