Ok. I just had a prick of a day trying to figure out what might've gone wrong with my 93 manual R33.

Modifications it got:

Z32 AFM

850cc high flowed injectors

FMIC

ATR43G3 turbo built by my self. (lol)

Full exhaust

EBC

Ok. The car was good ok after every thing's installed with a based map. The frist 2x runs were perfect and car managed a smooth 223rwkws at 10psi. Then it started to drop off and rumped back at full throttle. It kept on doing that for the rest of the day. Boost curve us early and straight, A/F is normal.

How ever It doesn't play up all the time on road. I'm wondering if any one had this issue before or know what this might be. Thanks.

Boost cruve at 15psi:

PS. I made a typo at the title. Its suppose to be Weird not wired.

could be a few things, its not the tuning. We just ran out of time and i could not diagnose it before we had to shut shop (prior arrangments) I reckon we will fit metal intake pipe and scope the crank angle sensor etc. Car has a history of electrical issues but hopefully Should be an easy fix.

Edited by URAS
assuming you checked base timing? were the knock readings significantly lower where the power dropped?

knock is not an issue as all timing maps had retard removed.

yer but if the cas is the issue and the drop in power is from a lot less timing than whats in the map then knock levels will be lower throughout that range too. doesnt have to be pinging to produce knock numbers, with the stock sensors anyway

its irrelevant either way. Im sure if we have more than 5mins to look at it we will have it sorted asap.

it must be something simple and electrical, I have the same housings on my R34. sure mine isn't holding booste yet either. But that is purely due to me refitting the stock actuator and the second it hit the set booste pressure it would open but wasnt strong enough to pull it self shut again when using some decent revs. Once my 14psi actuator is fitted and tuned it should be an absolute animal.

i would highly suggest any 1 planning to do a highflow to go for the new 0.60 housing that Stao has made up. In it's current state the second the car hits 4.5kRPM in second gear it wants to light 235x18's (good tyres). it didn't feel like that with the OP6 highflow.

Hey there, i had boost issues as well and i was just wondering, So if i changed my actuator... would my boost make a diffrence? because atm im running my greddy profec spec-B II and a stock actuator on hypergear highflow runing on 17.5 psi.

That is a sheet to show where the problem is. I'm sourcing information to fixthe car issue, so I could know what parts I need to replace and make life easier for Trent and my self next week.

I should've never bought a cheap crappy looking car and trusted the previous owner that its mechanically A1. end up spending the heaps of $$$$ fixing bits and pieces, and now this f*ken engine is knocking.

Here's the 226rwkws 10psi tune based on the same turbo on a healthy R33 if you like to see.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
