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!

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
