Hey i have a R33 Rb25det that when driving threw gears its just not reving out,

it may have been a non turbo converted to a turbo in the past?

its just going up to about 5,500rpm till she seems like it dont wanna go further, sounds like its detting?

stock ecu.?

mods are front mount, custom plenum, pod filter.

What do you mean, when it gets to 5500rpm it doesn't want to go no furthur? It physically stops revving at that rpm or it continues to rev but slower?

Also you say it sounds like its "detting", im assuming you mean detonation however it won't be detonation, few people actually know what detonation sounds like and if you can audibly hear it than it is too late. However with your modifcations on a stock ECU it will be running rich so the chances of it detonating are slim.

I'm going to assume that you are hearing the engine missfire after 5500rpm which is causing it to not want to rev past 5500rpm and causing it to lose all power and drive like crap. What spark plugs are in the car and when did you last change them? You seem to have a common skyline missfire issue. Start searching for "missfire" "coilpacks" "spark plugs" and you will see how common it is.

Yep that is missfire. It means the spark can not ingnite the mixture in the cylinder due to a poor spark, usually caused by fouled plugs, too big of a gap or a weak ignition system. Change the plugs and see if it fixes it. Most likely it will, if not than you will most likely have to start looking at coil packs.

What spark plugs are you putting into it?

Also add to the fact the ole - factory ECU.

You've changed the intake properties of the motor via plenum and FMIC.

I dare say increased boost as well.

Couple that with old plugs as you've said... come's as little surprise its running like a bag of shit.

You'll also probably find once you change the plugs - it'll do the same thing again in 1,000km's due to the plugs getting fouled up again.

Moral to the story? Go get a tune!

    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.
