Hi all!

Im pretty new to the page. Buy i have come into a bit of a dilemma with my 02 m35 stagea and I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.. sorry for the big parrlagraph lol

 

Now the other day i started experiencing when i put my fooy down not necessarily full through but if i boost to full bar its fine but after that its almost in a limp mode and doesn't wsnt to go full boost it loses power. The car sounds fine the spool sounds somewhat normal (just not going past full bar, almost like it limits itself) 

Im trying to explain it the best i can to give you guys the clearest picture.

When I shut the car off abd turb it on again its fine untill i hit close full or hit full boost at times its struggles to get there almost like a fuel cut/surge or like its missing. I don't get jolted into the winscreen or anythingbut its just there enough to notice it. Full lack of power almost like your  foot is 75% down on the peddle boost should be at about the same and climbing engine and exhaust sounds as it should but boost spool sort if stops mid way and power the same. Any ideas guys?

I had my AFM sebsor done  about 2 months ago so surly can't be that and I wouldn't expect it to be that with these symptoms. 

Car has an upgraded intercooler BOV and a car delete. Other then that its stock..

I have read somewhere that again it could be a number if things.. AFM, turbo seal or gasket leak, could be the turbo solinoid reading wrong, could be crank angle sensor or plain and simply cooler pipes or other boost lines being frail or have a split somewhere. 

If anyone has any ideas please let me know as most places where i live are typical mechanics and charge an arm n a leg to do checks and to get parts and theybarr hard ti trust..

Feel free to ask me an questions or if i can be any more specific to help resolve this would be really appreciated..

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
