Backfire Whiplash

Here we go again did a search and found out backfiring between gear changes.

Looking at getting my first R33 fresh import.

Took it for a testdrive and warmed up the engine to normal operating temp, and you give it a bootfull and your head learches forward like you hit reverse gear, and than wham ya head gets ripped back into the seat like whiplash almost. Dosnt matter what rev range you do it.

Sometimes it will do a backfire on aceleration and a huge cloud of black smoke comes out of the exhaust (still has jap fuel in it not sure if it is this).

Get this lifted the bonnet and found a hose 3/8 size lying their not connected to anything (around turbo area) could this be the problem??????, hope so as this is a nice car for the price and i got to see and drive before it was complianced and detailed (still had those hard jap tyres on it, pretty much straight of the boat).

Thanks

Umm that hose is probably meant for the wastegate actuator. Sounds like you're hitting Rich & Retard (fuel cut), if that hose is indeed meant for the actuator then the turbo will be spooling uncontrollably, making way too much boost which will cause the ECU to read an overvoltage from the AFM and throw itself into R&R.

If that is the case, my guess is the car had an electronic boost controller which was removed by a complete monkey :P

It sound as if the fuel injector are either pumping too little or too much petrol... I would check the fuel pumps... I had this problem before... changed fuel pumps and it runds fine now... also, remember to use high octane petrol... if you running anything but high octane petrol it will hinder performance heaps...

good luck bro... try this and then tell me how you go...

I dont think he has wound the boost up, I think it's more a case of his wastegate actuator isn't connected to anything (the loose hose he found) and is boosting uncontrollably. I'm not sure where the 33 gets it's pressure signal from.. pretty sure it's different to my 32 which has the pressure nipple on the compressor housing.

That's what I'm trying to say :( Someone needs to tell him where exactly the wastegate actuator hoses go so he can check if that's what the loose hose is.. I have a 32 so I can't tell him as I don't have the dual stage solenoid etc etc.

If its been disconected for a while and it is the hose im talking about it means that whole time its been running unlimited boost. It may have done damage it may not have, it depends on the driving habits of people using the car while its been in this state. Get it checked out before you hand over your hard earned cash.

When people use the term "fresh" they generally mean its fresh to australia not that its a brand new car.

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
