do you still run a standard ecu?if so the extra airflow from the higher boost could be upsetting the ecu and messing with the mixtures,hesitation/flat spot because the ecu is pushin a bit too much fuel in for the extra air, its just one of many possibilities,most of them are mentioned in the thred anyway,i just thought id add that,simple test,turn boost back to stock then see if it still hesitates,if it does then im wrong on that part...

totally agree,it does suck and you shuld get it checked,but monitor it for a while if dosh is tight, let me know how you get on...very interested to know the outcome as a couple of mates just bought 32gtr's...just PM me....

could be worth a chat,it all depends on if they have warranty on the work they performed,otherwise your pretty much up that creek,

srry but im agreeing with andy on this,monitor it every day,when it starts consuming a lot of oil ie it burns 1/2 to a full litre in say a wk then id worry bout pullin the head off,i suggest you start saving some money...the heads comin off at some point...

my bad,slow on the reply, i see oil on the thread of the plug on plenty of cars,at least 1 a day,culd be oil leaking from rocker seals,it doesnt normally come from the chamber,oil in the chamber normally ends up in the exhaust,id be inclined to agree with the valve stem seal comment,check them,could be leaking which is why you may have gotten the slightly higher comp reading on 5,

agreed, where is the oil on the plug,this is true most engines wont blow smoke when at NOT,more info plz

whats the deal with ecus?why is every1 so in love with the pfc?i thought the haltech was better?and whats the deal with this ViPEC thing,is it really better then the other 2??Whos got the knowledge?

is it using oil??as in low in the sump?

not that i have anything against adjustable fpr (great when used in the right place) but pushing your injectors past standard duty cycle is the last thing you want to do,not the safest of ways to bag an extra cuple of kw,spend the dollars save your engine,as previously stated its completely useless at such a low state of tune,by that i mean its more a risk then its worth...

so very interested in this ecu,is it a re-brand, is better than the haltech e11v2,and how much is it going to cost me plug and play for an r33 gtst?

id say its in the tune the afm seems to be ok if that reading and spec was accurate...

split dump is designed to separate wastegate gas form exhaust turbine outlet gas,thus reducing the turbulence and increasing flow,but we arent all made of money so it really comes down to you mate,how much do you want to spend?,i just use the standard dump on my 180 and its perfect,same for the 33,but it just depends on your plans for the car,the power gains arent that significant that i would worry about changing the dump on a daily streeter.if that makes any sense to you.. d-brod

ok so generally speaking youve got an internally gated turbo,well they say that a divorced/split dump is better for the flow of gases,better flow equals better response and power,but i think the straight dump is cheaper,while your at it im assuming ur going to do ur front pipe(dump to cat) ?if youve got the money go for split,and do the front pipe at the same time,get an exhaust guy to fit it for you as there may be some welding required..much easier that way.. d-brod

my main problem with the power fc is the lack of upgrades in the last god knows how long and the little "technical oversight" in the lack of knock correction,is it just the price that turns people off haltech or is there more to it??

hey wats the wheel weight on the standard r33 gtst rims

To the OP, answering The Mafia's questions is the only way you're going to get anything other than speculation. agreed,mafias questions totally valid,also pressure reg not needed at all for this boost level,the only difference between stock and aftrmarket is the base pressure,and if ur management and fuel system is set up right you dont need aftermarket.the standard is boost sensitive any way.all its gonna do is mess with ur reliability...also those wheels gotta go..

so i just bought 33gtst, mods are as follows 3" turbo back,600x400x100 front mount,pod filter,splitfire coils,walbro 255l/hr pump,hks evc2 boost control, im looking at buying a haltech e11v2,some 550cc injectors,hiflowing the turbo and looking for about 225-250rwkw...im worried bout lag and any other probs that might show up tho so if any one can give me some tech pointers it wuld be good,please no redirects to tutorials or stickies,im a mechanic im just looking for a couple of extra opinions,and am i gonna need more then that for the desired power?? any help much appreciated

sorry buddy but a guy i know had the same problem when he wanted to keep his auto box on the rb25det powered datto he was building,bad news he ended up running a manual,after searching the web and making putloads of phonecalls he came up empty handed.sorry mate

go with the standard plugs first,skylines like to do this when you dont f*k off the factory boost control,computer sees extra air then says you need more fuel so you get too much and it flat spots,0.8mm gap plugs usually fixes it.start with plugs if that dont work work ur way back form there,ie nxt step coils...still check out the ecu option,it can fix a lot at once

so im new obviously,owned a 180 for the last 8 months mildly worked(currently for sale) just bought a r33 gtst,also mildly worked and bout to spend some dosh on it.thought id introduce myself,any way say hi and stuff,im not smart but im not dumb wen it comes to this stuff,cars are what i do,i seem to not talk bout much else,so there yas have it ,done with the intro sh*t,goin to go learn some more stuff bout my new car.....

hey,thanks for the info,will give sticky a go,like i said new at this forum stuff.cheers mate!

hey ppls,im a new membr so this forum is a bit new to me. anyway i just bought an r33 gtst and i want to change the turbo,im just wondering if any body knows what the garret equivalent of an HKS GT-RS is?or anonther suitable upgrade,i want a direct bolt up ball bearing turbo kit preferably garret,using stock manifold,any help wuld be appreciated.
