I got a 96 R33 GTS-T Series 2 Manual. After 4500RPM roughly (Hi-boost mode - standard boost), it surges and carrys on till about 6 then kicks in again till redline, change to next gear and it surges again. Its a smooth surge not like a jerking. Very recently done plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, injecters cleaned and other stuff. Any ideas??? ECU???

Join the club mate, I have had the same problem with mine since I did the turbo conversion on the 25de, and just about replaced everything. AFM is next tho as its the only thing I didnt replace when I did the conversion. Even splitfires didnt make a difference, tried different ecu's with different maps etc, still no luck

in the last few months its had the following replaced or mod'd:

splitfire coil packs

spark plugs - platinum

fuel pump - walbro

K&N Pod

dump/front pipe

fuel filter

oil & oil filter

clutch

water pump

timing belt

i know most of that stuff wouldnt caus it but thats whats been done, so im guessing its either a fuell pressure reg or an air flow meter now, remember its a smooth surge not a jolting or jerking when detenating occurs,

still bloody stumped and angry

Seeing as you have have tried a lot of different options could be a long shot but i might be your afm, also due to the k&n pod you are using as they are oil based filters, and the oily film can disturb the air folw meter. Pehaps try cleaning your afm and putting a different filter on or standard box.

yeah not sure, was a mechanics job, by high boost i mean stock boost too by the way, but yeah not sure, could be AFM though, what pod should i run then if thats the case? dont they all have oil in em? also i love the look of your 33 'R33silverS2', looks tits

Thanks walta

Get an apexi power intake they are dry filters. :dry: I just bought one for my car.

Hey walta did you end up finding your problem?

I was talking to someone else about a similar problem they had and they said it was the Intake hose from AFM into the turbo sucking closed, they resolved it by putting on a silcon intake pipe on.

i agree with evryone those k&n filters especially being oil based will F### your afm it happens on subaru's all the time and you problem with running lean sounds like you ecu not adding enough fuel on boost or cruise and it is surgeing if you have checkd fuel pressure and it is good thats ok could also be dirty injectors or oxygen sensor possibly not reading correctly or your afm running lean on boost and surgeing for fuel mite be worh just getting it checked of a resistance reading could even be coolant temp sensor check it for resistance the higher the temp of the engine the lower the resistance should be just a few ideas

Nothing wrong with the K&N actually. It's because people over oil them, contrary to instructions. So only avoid them if you can't read. :)

hey im having exactly the same problem it all started after resetting my ecu iv replaced plugs and taped any small cracks on the coilpacks my car is still runninh hell rich i dunno what 2 do either pls help btw i have a hks pod its all black and so is all the surrounding parts im guessing after putting finer filter oil on it it may have damaged the afm but i oiled it in november and the problem has only started last week . and it seems as tho it gets worse as it gets colder.

leeboi33 if you think ur new oiled-up pod is is causing problem..

try using some good electrical contact cleaner from ur nearest bunnings/auto one store..

and give ur afm a good clean..

do a search..theres heaps of tips on sau..

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
