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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
