today i installed a turbosmart boost tee to my r33 which has stock ecu, and i adjusted itand it was running fine on 12 psi then suddenly after a few hours when i put my foot down and boost reaches max the car starts to jerk and not feel smooth it oonlhy happens on full boost. so i put back the stock boost soloinoid and its still doing it andnow im realy confused since i have not changed anything else any ideas?

The reason why that is happening is because your:

Coil packs

Spark plugs gapped to 1.1 or 0.8mm

Stock ECU

Rich & Retard

Boosting over 12 psi is when your car starts going crazy! Because of the MASS airflow coming it it will cause this to happend.

since it occured after fitting my boost tee im guessing its Rand R but it doenst go away when im running stock solonoid now is there something i have to do to get rid of the R and R, i reset the ecu aswel

i have the same problem but mine loses power between around 4k rpm to 6k rpm. makes a popping sound like the fuel isnt being ignited at the right time due to spark plugs or coils so ill be taping my coils and putting in platinum sparkys regapped to 0.8 to overcome this. ive heard R&R only kicks in over 14psi so i suggest going with the sparks and taping coils first. im guessing it does this because the old plugs arent gapped for such a rush in fuel.

yeah i understand all this but the question is that my car was running fine before on 10psi with solonoid and now after the boost controller ive revereted to the solonoid it doesnt run with it so how could the plugs be an issue if they were running as they were before with the solonoid

    • Great interview on damper settings and coil selection by HPA https://www.facebook.com/HPAcademy/videos/30284693841175196/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e
    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
