Guys i need some feedback from professionals such as yourselves.

My R32 GTS4 is running a HKS 2530.

Bigger injectors and fuel pump.

Apexi front mount.

I've got a super strong clutch.

Old style Apexi AVCR.

Only running 10psi.

The other day i was driving like normal, seriously, and the tachometre needle just jumped over 8 thousand revs as if i had clutched in, but i haden't. I pulled over and checked what i could but there was nothing visibly wrong. i started the car again and it drove fine. it's as if the engine is boosting like a million pounds without fuel. I checked the wastegate actuator line, no problem and all hoses are fine, clutch engages all gears fine, no diff noise, no gearbox noise, just this scary overboosting (imo).

If anyone knows what i mean please help a brother out!

Peace.

thanks guys. yes the car does move while the problem is occuring but feels VERY slow, as if there is NO boost at all. as for clutch slippage there has been no such action, fresh clutch very strong. I was thinking about the boost controller solenoid but i don't know how to fix one if possible. thanks again for your valuable input.

sounds like a slipping clutch to me. how long ago did you change it? with a stock one or aftermarket one?

if it were the boost solenoid going then that doesn't explain why it revved to 8000rpm suddenly it would only explain the loss of power.

maybe a problem with the diff? sounds something drivetrain-related as if the engine lost load and just revved freely...

let us know how you go,

Waz.

thank you ed and waz. these things sound scary to a novice like me and i'm not so sure i know how to acurately check these things. the clutch is probably a year old and feels really grippy and always did before the problem started, it's a heavy duty item. the problem happens all the time now. any ideas how to check gearbox and diff?

Does it happen when you accelerate? or just after you change gears? turn corners? etc etc

Does it happen when you are doing a certain speed or rev??

Or does it just happen any time on a straight bit of road at normal speed [and you may have been sitting on the same speed for a while?

ooh so many questions. okay, car starts, clutch fine into gear, accelerate fine up to 1500rpm and then it's as if i've clutched in and the pressure of my foot on the gas pedal sends the revs flying. happens through corners and start stop etc. kind of goes away after a good warm up, say 15 mins. after this happened a few times i didn't want to damage the car further so i haven't taken it anywhere yet.

Thanks trident.

When the engine revs increase, are you braking out into wild wheelspin? It is physically impossible for your revs to increase so dramatically without your roadspeed inceassing also.

So you are either braking into pretty wild wheelspin (i think you would have noticed that by now :) ) or you have a drivetrain problem, im assuming your clutch. :Oops:

You say it happens in 1st gear, does it happen in say 3rd gear going up a hill?

thanks roy. yeah no wheelspin, and it does happen in any gear. as for my clutch it was working fine for a year and then one night while in 5th gear on a freeway it just revved up. the clutch engages all gears easily so if anyone could tell me how to check my clutch i would greatly appreciate it.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
