Possible Boost Issues? Little Help...

Hi All..

Ok I have an R33 GTS-T, it's auto, has only a turbo timer and bov (atmo), thats the only real engine related mods I have. It runs 7psi atm. And I have never had any dramas with it. The other night I was driving along Camden Bypass at decent speed and came off the accelarator to slow down as there was a car in front of me, I moved to the left to overtake, when I started to accelerate I could hear the turbo spooling but there was like this spluterring noise, sort of like when you're ignition coils are dying but without all the shaking... I gave it a few squirts here and there after this to test it and didn't have it occur again..

I don't have much of an idea as to what it could be but was hoping all you switched on ppl out there could give me some food for thought..

Thanks,

Yeah there was very slight miss. I'm from the Dilly as well mate, originally anyway, you can get some great speeds on that road, especially the angle which leads onto Narellan Road. Can't understand why these jap cars have speedos of 180 =)....

I am hoping it was just cold/ crap in the petrol and not something more sinister....

gt-ahhh! Proficient

lol at 180. you get past that well before you need 5th gear.

shouldnt talk about this. mods get angry.

im having bad misfiring atm. decided to happen just as i went on the dyno for a power run...

ive got some coilpacks on the way, hopefully thats all it will need.

i believe this sort of stuff can be analysed on a dyno, if it keeps happening i would reccommend you try that. then you can think about coilpacks, plugs, crank angle sensor. all the annoying fiddly stuff.

to me it doesnt sound too bad. see how you go with it.

Thanks champ, yeah I will see how I go, I had to buy Splitfires for the missus R34 a while ago, not looking forward to forking out that amount again...

But yeah 180, we've all done it, it's inevitable...there just too much fun =)

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
