r33 gts-t, basic mods include front mount, hks intake gutted cat, 3.5 cat back, NEW turbosmart boost tee, factory turbo.

Got use of a dyno to try to sort ourt whats goin on with my car and after asking heaps of people questions bout it ill be f**ked if i know whats goin on!

Cant seem to boost past 9.5 psi(180rwkw)(mixtures were fine) on dyno wothout it feeling like its mis-fireing or cutting out. been told it definetly wont be fuel cut at that boost. have replaced plugs thiknikg that might be a prob, gapped to 0.7mm. have replaced all boost lines. anything below bout 9psi and car seems to run and pull fine

wondering if anyone might know whats goin on, been told bout a factory boost cut, if this might be so whats the cheapest way to get round it.

any help would be much appriciated asap due to sitting 15m from a dyno as we speak lol!!

cheers

What are you just doing a power run with those mods? Have you got any tuning device? Safc or anything? If not then id say its your ecu mate and you cant do anything to get around that without an aftermarket ecu or piggy back

Get a better boost controller would be a start and finish to all problems there, dont really aggree with a boost tee

yeah been told that for a start but i dont really understand how it could fix my problem, 10psi boost is 10psi boost as far as i know, correct me if im worng though.. also has anyone used one of the jaycar electronic boost controller kits?

as for the fuel cut, i have been told by more than one person that would know that it wont hit fuel cut till at least 12psi minimum... as i say im only going by what i have been told by other people.

na got nothing tuning wise yet, just doin power runs to check boost and ratios. think it might be time for a computer lol..... anyone got any recomended computers? are PFC's still availiable anywhere? if not what are the new wolfs like? or e manage?

thanks for the help too...

theres been numerous threads on coil packs, good way is to pull them out look for arcing marks on the steel casing, also at night if lift the bonnet in darkness you can look at the pretty sparkies arcing as well :closedeyes: go for pull them out and check for arcing its easy and takes sweet fa time to do. BTW is it missing under higher load? ie 4000 and up? It could be coils. GL with that

yeah definetly on higher load, usually from 4-6 or so...

Stock computer doesn't like anything over 10psi in a R33, some people have got upto 12 but most can't get past 10psi with factory ECU. I couldn't get past 10psi, now i have a PFC and have it tuned to run 10psi low and 13psi high. 196rwkw at 13psi, but tuner did say it went over 200rwkw but wasn't happy with knock levels and went with a safe tune, thats what i wanted.

taking the plugs to .7 for relatively little boost increase is not good.

.8 at the MOST you should need for a basic setup.

Take the plugs back out to .8/.9 and check the coil packs

ended up being the coil packs, hairline cracks in em, now runnin at 13 and goin great!

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
