hey just a quick question, a mate of mines has a r33 with aftermarket turbo, intercooler, exhaust, computer, 800hp fuel pump and lately its started to run rough, he had to put 95octane fuel in it the other day and thats when the probs started, weve changed the fuel filter and plugs but still when it stars to boost it starts sttuering like its havin fuel surge and backfiring, has any one else had similar problem? what should we check next? injectors or coils??? cheers

thats exactly what my car is doing right now

it did it when i had my old 2 litre in it and i swapped in a neo and it still does it

the only things that are the same are the fuel pump,which i changed,the boost controller which i am changing tomorrow,and the maf.

so my guess is that the boost controller or the afm is not working properly,because it only happens under boost.

so try checking the boost controller and the maf

i will update if this thread when i figure the problem out,but i am fairly certain it is my old shitty manual boost controller sticking.

cheers!

yeh its got aftermarket ecu and recently had full tune by imports101, could it be a problem with the stock injectors? its my mates car, me and him both had to fill his skyline up and my ss up with 95octane wich our cars dont run too good on, after that i had similar probs with the ss but i changed the plugs and and me valkve springs at the same time n it came all good but the skyline just gettin worse

when you changed the plugs in the skyline, what plugs did you use?

and what gap?

May be a stupid question but have you got rid of the 95 fuel yet?

if not, maybe buy a bottle of good octane booster and dump that in the tank with the 95.. it should bring it's rating back up to 98 or so.

we didnt check the gap we just got some new ngk ones from repco and just assumed the gap would be fine, yeh we drained the fuel and ran injector clean through the engine and now are runnin it on 98octane ith octane booster,

    • Some times you just have to settle 
    • Good stuff, I suppose a measly 630rwkw should do for now.
    • It’s at 30psi, there’s still plenty left in it and Adam said it was making the power easily!! We ran out of injector though 
    • Car is now back - I have the Nismo fender extensions on it too. Body place did a really good job with melding them to fit the sedan.   I'd take a photo of the whole car, but it's somewhat hard to do from where it's parked in the carport. The OEM'ness is growing on me. As is the desire to buy wheels - But it would be flat out dumb to buy maybe fitting wheels with minimum precision and rush to fit them before going on a Tasmania road trip. Probably better to do that one with OEM spec wheels on it. I also bought a pod filter. It is not OEM spec.
    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
