Hey people i was just wondering what is wrong with my turbo. When i start to drive my car; the turbo start to lag about 3000 to 4000 rev and then the needle start to bounce back. some time it hard to change gear?

1. Could it be the gearbox?

2.Turbo?

3. Lose hose?

4. Service the car?

What do you think people?

Going to need a little more information bud.

Do you mean you don't get any boost till 3-4k? Is your factory bopost gauge reading positive pressure? is your car stock? mods?

i get boost at 2500 and then when it reachs around 3000 to 4000. it doest want to go any more and then it start to bounce back. the car is struggling to go.

Having recently experienced clutch slip in my R33 (to the point where it would no longer drive) this is exactly what would happen.

Foot goes down. Boost increases and car accelerates. Revs start flying up but car goes no faster, resulting in boost loss. Clutch starts to grab again. Revs drop as clutch re-engages. Boost comes back on and car pulls to redline without slipping. This happened every time until the clutch no longer worked at all. I didn't even make it home that afternoon.

You will know it's the clutch if the problem is worse in higher gears. Try it out.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
