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


Recommended Posts

And I could safely say nobody KNOWS if thats my problem, they think it is. Having tried so many things and even making the bov atmo, I am pretty sure it isn't entirely my problem.

Look at it this way, if I shift under load (and give it 3-4secs before I bring the clutch out the problem wont happen at all. Why? If I drive with NO boost under 2500 and shift going up a hill at 40-50, the problem always occurs. Why? How can there be bov reversion in boost-less conditions?

The problem isn't from the bov

It's reversion/surge from the turbo as it's a much larger turbo than std

It only needs to flow alil air back on the afm and it's will effect it

Compared to a std turbo and and ribbed std rubber intake

Why bother starting this thread and asking for people's suggestions when clearly you ain't going to listen to them and try it out

Best to just take it to a tuner/good mechanic to sort it out

Also did you even fix the exhaust restriction you had posted earlier and get the tune touched up

As you said they had to retard the timing a fair bit

Plus I seen in your engine bay pics are you still running one of those blitz metal type pod filters ?

As when I got my car tuned 2 months ago I was speaking to mark at Unigroup and he was telling me those metal mesh type pod filters are rubbish

He had a sr20 Datto there that was making 270kw last tuned but barely made 230kw

Changed the air filter and bang back up to 270kw nothing else touched

They may look like they flow well being ss mesh but he said they are crap

Who would think a filter would make 40kw difference

Yes exhaust restriction was fixed long ago and tune touched up too. Mark removed my filter to see if it would make extra power but it didnt, but if it really is known to be rubbish then its goin to the bin soon

Yeah same thing with the Datto but was good prior the check up when first tuned but after it was clogged bad

Shit design and filtration and clog easily

Even the cheap 3a racing or saas ones at autobahn flow good

Seriously dude buy a new MX-5, drive it, love it, pick-up babes in it! Leave the Liners, Subies and Evos well the fcuk alone.

You seem to have nothing but problems with every nissan you own, some things are are just not meant to be...

  • 3 weeks later...

Thread revive- just had an afr log done on the dyno as suggested here- seems to be ok, yet still gets me 20-21L/100kms on short metro daily drives (only) 4kms each way with 1,2 or 3 2nd and 3rd gear hard pulls on the way. On a mix of motorway and metro driving, I got 16.6L/100kms last week. Dont know why it made such crappy power this time either, the only thing changed is a new O2 sensor and Gizzmo IBC-R ebc on same boost and gain set to 16.

Afr seems alright on cruise and also WOT maybe even a touch lean, no smoke out the exhaust, maybe injectors are leaking.. Tuner verified afm is ok with the voltages its reading. Said to change Blitz pod filter as they known to be shit. Mighta get an Apexi soon

Or maybe it shat something whilst you have flogging the f**k out it when there are issues.

Also your 4billion psi boost spike probably killed a few ring lands as well.

Or all your f**king about with it has thrown the tune way out.

Told you those blitz metal pods are rubbish

That could be your lost power

when did you change your o2 sensor

As you said you got 16l to 100km last week from 20l to 100km it usually is and 15-16l to 100km is on par with a highly modified 6cylinder turbo

Also highly unlikely to be a leaky injector internally as afr are good and you would have other symptoms

Hard starting after left for a while and smoke on first start up from flooding

If it had a external fuel leak you should be able to smell it

Somebody put that zebra back in the zoo lol. O2 was changed a couple months ago, and only managed 16.6L/100kms through a couple of longer motorway drives. Mark said my economy is on the high end and that normally a modified car would average 17L/100kms on metro drives and 14-15 on longer cruises. He told me stock 1jzs average about 16L/100kms with stock injectors, thats a bit much wtf

Edited by rondofj

That's a lot of fuel, pretty sure I was using less than 15L/100km when on E85, on 98 it was 12, same as stock with a mix of driving.

Wtf is this guy dumb

I'm not going to bother posting after this

What a waste of time

Even what a tuner tells him goes in one ear and out the other

He just said he got 16.6l 100km last week and tuner tells him 17l 100km is normal for a modified car and his still complaining about the fuel economy

yet his air filter is blocked which will make fuel consumption worse and it's still on there

He should should sell up and buy a Toyota Prius or yaris

How do you know my air filters blocked, assume much? Your the sort of guy who believes changing the air filter resulted in a 40kw gain from a 230kw datto to 270kw wow haha..

And niether did you understand my post. Tuner said 17L/100kms is average for metro driving, I'm doing 21 or even 20, does that seem close to 17? Mixed cruise driving he said 14, I did 16.7-17 which is still a bit from 14.

Ok I will be nice to you and get a new filter, might surely get 40kw since you swear your mate did ;-

Ron, I'm just going to say this.

My car when running had perfect AFR's, and I mean wideband, wideband controllers, everything. I'm talking it'd sit between 14.5 to 15.1 AFR the entire time, on cruise, all day, every day. Cold starts were lovely. It'd be a nice curve from 14.7 to 13.0 on boost and 11.9 on full throttle. It was lovely.

My fuel economy wasn't much better than yours. I'm talking 250L from a tank on E85 (55liter fill up). Better on 98, but still very much in the ballpark of what you're experiencing.

If your AFR's are fine on the dyno, then it's done. Your fuel is what it is. That's it. There is nothing to be fixed there, unless you want to play with a wideband and see the cell that is 20% throttle and 3PSI of boost is actually got an AFR of 9.0 or something in it.

If it doesn't, then that's it. That's your economy. You find this out in about thirty seconds upon having a wideband, btw.

I never said it was my mate that gained from a air filter

It was mark from Unigroup who told me about it and it was tested right on the dyno

Why would he bother lying about it

You were being a tight ass before and wouldn't get a wideband or get a power run

But get a new ebc and can't spare $20-30 for a new pod filter

You surely are a stubborn ass

You know best even better than qualified tuners and mechanics

keep playing with your car and fixing problems that don't exist

Edited by hy_rpm

What do you know about me n my car...your just probably another adolescent or 20s something keyboard clown on the internet trying to hammer his point across haha. I dont think Mark would tell you something like that, hes a top bloke who would know that you dont just gain 40kw from changing a rubbish air filter.. .

This thread surely delivers..

Edited by rondofj

You can ask mark your self

I'm not a backyard wannabe mechanic like you

I'm a qualified mechanic/technician

For 3 years now and have seen a few customers that seem to know more than us when work on cars everyday for a living

Which you sound like one of them

If your filter is shit and dirty it can easy cause 40kw loss, depending on how shit and how dirty, I haven't seen your filter so can't say if it's your issue or even part of you issue, but the filter is the only path the air has into the engine if the air can't get in it will loose power simple

I am a backyard mechanic and you know why, because in the 20 years I have been working on cars I have learnt a thing or three and one of the things I have learnt is that just because you do it for a living doesn't automaticly mean you know anything, I have seen plenty of "real mechanics" that are just dumbarse farkers with no clue, even more so when it comes to so called tuners

Same goes for what I do for a living, I know dudes that have been doing twice as long as me that are just useless, so don't be fooled into thinking just cause someone does something for a living that automaticly they have a clue

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
