recently took my car to the tracks and noticed some issues which were not there when it was tuned about a year ago (not putting the blame on anyone here)

at idle, when you tap the throttle, it feels like the revs drop momentarily. Even when you rev the car in neutral, it feels like there is hesitation below the revs pick up. any idea what this is?

also at wide open throttle (WOT) the top of 3 gear is splattering. is this lack of spark? i have a big fuel system in the car and on the dyno it was fine, but im sure real life situations are different to dyno.

and last thing is at wakefield, as i come in fast to a corner and brake (turn 2, fish hook and last corner) the car doesn't rev or do anything! it drops to neautral for about 2-4seconds then picks back up again. I've tried to rev match and downshift but nothing worked! Car drives on the street fine but this is concerning me.

Is it a Tune? Spark? Fuel?

Sounds like fuel surge on corners , but u have bit fuel system , changed filter in last year? I'd be checking fuel pressure and also all fuel related electrical connections , sputtering up top happened to me recently and was a boost leak I didn't know about , if all if above ok I'd look at earthing coils directly before looking at tune,but you could contact your tuner usually they are more than happy to hp if they are any good lol

Simplest thing to start with for the 3rd gear splatter is to pull the plugs and take a look. Change them anyway if they're old. Don't run a wider gap.

Also, tunes don't last forever because all the components that produce power wear/get dirty etc and don't behave exactly like they did when the tune was done.

Agree that fuel surge is the last issue. As soon as that happens head off the track and back to Goulburn to fill up again, or take spare fuel and save the trip. You'll find it starts at about the same fuel tank level each time.

i'm gonna make some guesses here.... you need to do this

i did this on my wifes GTR that had a missfire when up it in third. the second part might be that your tuner may not have done your accelerator correction, or it could be your TPS. make sure your tps is reading the correct voltage at idle i think its 0.45v-0.55v at throttle closed position, the voltage should increase to somewhere between 3-5v at WOT. you don't need to do this with the car going but just the ignition turned on.

whats your ECU ? can you datalog?

shall be cleaning the fuel filters out this coming week. plugs checked out ok and did a quick compression test as well and engine seems good. strange why it would be spluttering down the straight if it was surging as that is what i would expect from cornering

fuel system consists of a Weldon 2015A fuel pump, Earls billet fuel filters, -8 lines to the surge tank, -8 hose all the way up to the engine then splitting up to 2x -6 at the fuel rail

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
