Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

i'd say try a larger BOV that vents to atmosphere with a softer spring pressure....keep the airflow going in the one direction....feel sorry for you guys in Aussie with all your legal drama.

That will cause tune Issues with the afm though that will need addressing.

yeah but they'd be easier to fix. his mixtures will will be richer for a short time when he closed the throttle....could be sorted out whenever he wanted.

A dual stage BOV would be better, stage one plumb back stage two atmo, that way there is some air going back to AFM and some well not, the trick is tuning it to get the right amount

Well took off dipstick and can smell fuel big time. Will be taking off fuel pressure regulator vacuum hoses to look for fuel later. Stay tuned..this could be it, a leaking reg.

Thanks, is it better to get new though, never know when the used ones let go- will check if I can use 33 one on a 34- i think the 34 neo has 2 dampers n 1 reg

If a fuel reg is bad or fuel related problem on a skyline not holding pressure

There is the pulsation damper on the fuel rail to check

Turn it off and check how far the screw on the damper is sticking out and leave it overnight

Check if it has gone in and moved if so the fuel pressure is leaking if not all good

You were complaining about the fuel economy and the tuner has already told you the o2 is getting lazy

If a bad o2 was stuck too lean every time in closed loop it would try to dump fuel in to try to make the mixtures right

Check if your o2 signal is fluctuating when warm

Should be swinging high and low every second

Also with the intake I would try to modify the existing one as moving the afm further or closer to the turbo will affect the tune

And your std bov may not be flowing enough air for that turbo so it will still suffer from reversion and the std bov will leak

The only way a fuel reg can dump fuel in manifold is through the vac/boost line, start car and pull line off and look, for enough fuel to cause these problems it will flow out at you

I have personally never seen a factory fuel reg go like that

so is the standard BOV still considered adequate for these size turbo's, eg GT30/GT35..

Ive seen aftermarket ones and they come with a range of springs, eg 6psi , so if using that then boosting under 6psi would give a shhhzutututu which might be a way around the legal

side for people that want that, but you'd still have some reversion is that right?

On a stock rubber intake, the BOV return is quite close to the turbo inlet, so maybe modify the intake pipe to mimick that, so the entry point is close to the inlet and theres

a couple of turns before the AFM is connected.

I'm still using a stock bov with a 3076. I crushed it to apply more spring pressure so it doesn't leak.

Previously had reversion issues, modified return angle in inlet pipe and it fixed it.

Was surprising as the return was angled slightly to the turbo previously but obviously not enough.

It's a very simple thing to change, angled nd is very likely the cause of Ron ' s issues.

Anywhere that welds ally can do it. And cheap. And quickly.

thats exactly what I will be doing tomorrow morning - check for fuel in the reg and damper vacuum hoses. Hopefully I will find fuel and confirm a dead reg - can i use R33 reg on 34 /possibly wolverine's one or do I need a R34 one - wreckers or buy new? Hopefully no touch up tuning required, but how to check if its providing the req. fuel pressure under load - else it will lean out n go bang haha..

I do remember when DVS Jez had a go at my 'stock' car 3 years ago he mentioned the fuel pressure's playing funny and advised me to get a spare r34 reg, which I got thanks to Johnny, so the second time round I went up to Jez with the spare reg, we didnt end up fitting it cos it was alrite then.. Now I have to look for that little reg, dunno where I put it or if it still there lol..

And yes I use a stock 'crushed' bov like Ben C34 does.

^ lol that was soooooo long ago aye..

I have access to a hand held wideband, happy to spend a few hours diagnosing your car.. payment = beer :D

no worries mate will hit you up if need be, let me test a few other bits over a couple weekends - fuel reg, iron out boost leaks, earths, new O2 sensor etc; I have decided not to get the wideband cos of extra costs of equipment itself, weld bung away from turbine housing, touching up tune etc..

Do u guys get ur NGK O2 sensors from repco/autobarn/bursons etc?

I still prefer to change it and keep it enabled as it was tuned with it - do any of the R34 NEO people use the r33 NGK O2 sensors with the plugs cut off and wires crimped together? NGK dont make a R34 one, rang em up. Else the universal PEC O2 sensor from Vulture Motorsport is what I got and its gone funny after just 3 years!

    • 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.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
