I tried it but it didn't really do anything as the lean popping is mainly when holding about 2k+rpm on idle. Will it count if I get someone in the car to hold rpm while I fill it? Pics on my phone of the pipe on the car, will upload tonight when I finish work, can't upload pictures from the phone.

In regards to my fuel setup though everything is brand new except lines and regulator. Nismo injectors, Bosch pump, ryco filter..

I think its because of your pringles designed intake pipe you're popping, as we all know with pringles, 'once u pop, u cant stop'! On a lighter note, i know how frustrating ur problem is, hope u find a solution soon, sounds like an air related issue, did u get jez to look it up in the wknd?

The point he is getting at is the fuel being cold, as long as you don't leave it idling for 10 hours after filling it it will answer his question.

Shall send you a pm shortly. Just got home and it decided to lean pop on idle now and constantly too. I might have to give that test another go. But its strange, on hotter days I've given the car harder times and idle is fine...

I tried PMing them again. Realized they are close to 2MB each. Got my computer now so lets do it from here! Pictures are pretty rough, I'll be pulling it all apart tomorrow for better pics of the pipe out of the car.

Also just fitted a new fuel filter, just incase.

Can't edit the above post anymore but here are pictures of the intake pipe OFF the car. You can see the outside and the inside of the pipe. My new design pipe has another bend just at the turbo with a 2 - 3" leg which will be the mounting point for my return and breather lines. It will have 2 maybe 3 bends in it.

The black shit is that silka sikka or what ever its called, that black glue shit. We put it over the weld bead just incase there was an air pocket somewhere.You can also see that the intake pipe is not exactly 3" on the bend. We sliced out a moon piece then bent the pipe shit and welded it up.

Hey sarge. Those welds are hectic. Ill subby all my fab work to you from now on. Make sure u save those pringles cans for me lol.

Anthony has a good point. The afm element position is fairly important.

The afm element orientation isn't an issue if the AFM is standard.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.
