hey guys,

just abit of help on why when i put my foot down full throttle it goes great in any gear but between gear changes like from from (first to second gear) it goes from say shifting at 5500/5800 and cuts out like for 1 sec to 4900rpm and picks up again...Does it most times and when it doesnt just wheelspins like crazy...Ive got new coil packs YJ and ive tryed the spark plug gap thought it might be jumping the spark and that but nothing....only does it through shifting gears at full throttle and hardly cuts out at all when just putting ya foot down in any gear..

thought might be afm but its just through gear changes.

any ideas.....

What intake are you using? It sounds like the bov return might be facing the wrong way causing air to flow back up towards the afm. The bov return needs to face the turbo compressor wheel.

im using a greddy copy face foward plenum and bov is the vulture motorsport ones and from the throttle body side its plum back all the to the turbo intake which is a 3inch metal pipe intake to turbo...

it is very far to the turbo the bov.....

Just tested it again with no gear changes just flat out full throttle right through the rev range and perfect and then tryed it 1st through to 3rd and just cut out throught the gear changes like a jerk type and then bang goes again but every gear change was making a sound like back fire type like pooof and dropped revs and went again...sound was coming through the pod and it wasnt the bov sound or turbo flutter...

It needs to dump towards the turbo, neither of those pipes do. If any returned air flows back up the pipe past the afm it will cause the problem you are having.

Where are you located? Surely there is a fabricator close by that can angle the return a little? Or take it back to the shop that made it?

Here is a pic of the intake I make, the bov enters on a much tighter angle pointing towards the compressor of the turbo. Yours can work if you angle the fitting a little.

Drop in if you like and I can explain it better, I'm only in Hampton Park. :)

    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
