Hey all,

My cars costing me so much money and is running like crap! :)

Wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions why my cars doing this..

It guzzles so much fuel, costing me a fortune

Seems to cut out everynow and then for like 1/2 second when driving hard (not rev or speed limiter)

And finally yesterday,

had a bit of fun with my friends 96 or 97 model stock ford xr6 who had a passenger blew me away by like 4 car lengths in like 200meters.

(The boost doesnt seem to be dropping on the guage and the car seems to be trying its heart out)

And my car is ment to have 266rwhp @ 10psi! -my ass. ;):):rant:

-Brendan

Costing a fortune and running like crap i can undestand - fixed by a tune. But being eaten by a non turbo which is likely to be heavier not to mention with a passenger by 4 cars lengths means something is definately wrong with your ride.

Dont forget the 34 run duel boost - from memory its a lower boost first then it steps up to a high boost (or other way around..).

As PHATR32 said collapsed cat is very common - and causes big power drop.

Bad tune ?

Faulty AFM?

what type of BOV have ya got??

cos i had a same sort of problem after i put on a gfb stealth FX bov, had it set to a little of venting to atmo. Ran alright at normal driving, but push it hard, and it missed all the way from 5000rpm up. Which is really strange but anyway.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
