Hey guys, just got a problem hoping someone can help me with it or point me in the right direction to get it fixed.

I have a rb20 with a turbo from hypergear, nistune ecu, injectors, front mount, full exhaust all the usual mods, when i rev it out from 1st gear to second gear in high rpm it bogs down/lag and then the power kicks back in once ur in second gear, its almost feels like u slam on the brakes inbetween the gear change. Uts getting really annoying and i dont know what it could be, i thought it could be the BOV, coz i had it blocked off so i thought it might have been the air going back out the turbo slowing the wheel down but unblocked it and it still does it, i also have the pipe that comes off the BOV just pointing into the engine bay, not back into the intake, its still a stock BOV aswell.

If anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated.

Do you mean where the plumb back pipe connects into the intake pipe, it's not connected?

So you are sucking air into the turbo through the hole in the side of the intake pipe?

Air that is unfiltered and also not measured by the AFM?

This would be a problem me thinks...

The Bov plumb back pipe, it's not attached to the Bov right?

Is the other end still attached to the intake pipe between the AFM and the Turbo?

Have you blocked any of the open pipes?

Its just the normal stock BOV and the pipe that from the trumpet bit of it just goes to no where to the engine bay, it used to go to some pipe which took it back to the intake for the emision reasons, but since upgrading to another turbo i had to get rid of all that so that bit of pipe just vents to the engine bay, and no other pipes have been blocked either

Blame the tuner :P

Waiting on NIStunes reply. They emailed today. Hopefuly have a few answers tomorrow

send it through if you need a quick reply, have the tuning lappy at home tonight.

I also had this problem on the R33, happens the air doses backwards onto the AFM. It was fixed by relocating the afm into the cooler piping.

Definatey seems like the same issue, and to clear things up its not a lag issue, its a hesitation

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
