Hey guys,

Just bought a r33 not long ago, the past week Id noticed acceleration was a little jittery - not as smooth as it first was, and yesterday it seemed like all power that normally comes when the turbo boosts is missing.

The best way to describe the sound its making is as if the airbox is sucking alot of air (its quite loud, not as loud as it normally was). The boost guage built into the dash under the RPM tacho still moves when accelerating etc.

Any ideas what this could be? Everything is stock as far as im aware, stock turbo, stock boost the only thing that is changed is a k&n panel filter in the stock airbox.

i had some issues with my r33 gts-t when i brought it....it was lagging power when on boost

took it to a trusty mechanic and he told me my catalyic converter was glogged up with shit....so he knocked it out

after that man good as gold...had a tune and some more boost.... and the result was 190.1kw @ 9psi and the wheels :) stock as a rock besides spitfire coilpacks

is the turbo hard to get to to check for broken fins ?

Depends how experienced you are with playing round in the engine bay. Take the cooler pipes and intake pipes off to check the intake side of the turbo and take the dump pipe off to check out the exhaust side of it. Chances are if your not sure how to get to it then it will take a while.

So air intake is louder or more quiet than normal?

Air intake is alot louder than before

edit: just re-read my OP, yeh that didnt make sense, i was meant to write it was alot louder not that it was not as loud, heh

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
