Stock r33 and it splutters


Recommended Posts

Guest IHaveAnR33

i would love to go full engine management system, but too costly for now... i just want to get the car running smooth on standard boost. the boost restrictor has a couple of wires connected to it i never disconnected them just disconnect the hoses. should i disconnect the wires as well?

Dood please dont read some threads on this forum and then start to fiddle with things. After you read somethign interestingl ike a free boost increase and you are really excited about the MORE BOOST aspect that most owners are into. Then first try and find more threads on how all the different parts work that are involved in causing the car to boost etc. then you can do what you like and you will have a fairly good idea about what damage you can cause.

It sounds like you are grasping for cheap mods to do. DONT unless you are sure.

SAFC took me about 1 hour to install. and then i counted 1 wire incorrectly and the car wouldnt start. took me a further hour to find and fix that.

so yeah workshop is your friend in your case, but if you got plenty of time and passed year 2 maths (unlike me) it wont be a problem to install.

peace

Your R33 only uses coil packs.

For the spluttering issues, it will either be spark plugs or that a coil pack will be faulty, which will cause a misfire.

Please don't start pulling random hoses and such off the wastegate actuator without properly regulating the pressure, unless you would like stuff to start breaking?

The stock fuel system will run very rich so there is no need to worry about underfuelling, if anything get it tuned with an SAFC (or any decent piggyback or complete ECU replacement) like GTS-t VSPEC suggests.

It is all tuning.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
