Testing Cas (and Other Problems)

I was wondering if anyone had a way to test the CAS for proper function? I'm having a high-rpm problem with my R33 GTS-T. Basically 5k-redline it pulls and surges a little, boost pressure rises and the power drops noticably in spurts and surges up to the redline. It has new coilpacks and a new fuel pump, so I'm starting to run out of ideas. Maybe 02 sensor? But I didn't think that impacted full-load fueling. I've cleaned the AFM and checked for vacuum leaks...Any ideas?

i dont know about skylines speciffically, but that sounds like leaning. are the injectors thmselves flowing well and consistently

That's another possiblity, it sure feels like lean out. I have no idea about the injectors, although there's a chance it has a z32 AFM on it, and the ecu wires have been spliced in the past and then snipped. So maybe it has a bigger AFM (I have no idea how to tell them apart, does anyone know part numbers?) and haas been re-tuned in the past and then the interceptor has been pulled out. I'm starting to think it's a bit of a bitsa.

sounds like you are running too much boost for the ecu to handle. look up rich and retard. if your lucky your afm may be the problem showing high volts or its the wrong part. it should ahve a part number near the power plug on it

Good stuff, keep that info coming! I'm only running about 8psi of boost, and the symtoms occur even at the competely factory boost setting. I can't find a P/N on the AFM, not on the top anyways. All it has is the 'Nissan' symbol. Apart from that, near the plug, it's blank. The plug has 5 pins, but only 4 wires. The connection missing is the one closest to the air filter. Does that help at all? Maybe it isn't a standard one. Today was warmer, about 30deg, and the car runs awfully. Good boost, but bugger all power, and revving it past 5 just isn't an option, it feels BAD.

Just to check - have you changed the fuel filter and spark plugs?

If its over-fuelling you'll have black crap on your rear bumper, and probably be able to see it in the rear view mirror. Maybe get a mate to follow you to look for black smoke. What boost are you running? If its not stock, pull it back to stock and see if the problem goes away.

The plugs have been done, but not the fuel filter. There's a small brown burn on the rear bar, but not a trace of black smoke on acceleration. It behaves exactly the same on stock boost, which makes me wonder. And the problem is definitly far, far worse on a warm day (30-odd today), it's almost undriveable at anything more than 20% throttle. No power, surges, it's all over the place. Driving me insane!

I had a similar problem to what you are describing in my 32. I did fuel pump and bigger injectors in one go. One of them fixed it. Since you are only running std boost maybe your fuel pump is dying.

      Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.

      This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 馃槳 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.

      I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By joshuaho96 路 Posted

      I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
