Hi all.

Just gave my 93 R33 a run at full throttle from about 60 kmph and it started "popping"

93 R33 gts25t

Only mod is turbo back full exhaust .

Standard boost, no pod.

The popping sounds the same as when it changes gear under heavy acceleration. It started around 5-6000 rpm and lost all power while it was happening.

Could it be?

A, fuel cut.

B, Detonation.

C, Faulty wast gate / Std Bov

I would love some opinions and to hear from anyone who has had this issue and fixed it.

Thanks all.

Also it didnt happen anywhere near as much if I accelerated slowly to full throttle still did a couple of pops but held its power.

Yup you got it. Exactly the same.

Ill start working on the electrical side as soon as i have done the fuel pump.

I changed the filter and it helped a little.

Its going to go something like this,

Fuel Pump, injectors and the things that they include..

then ignition side coil pack, leads plugs.

Im not looking to make it a rocket ship it will just be nice to have it running at full capacity.. (foot to floor no issues)

Check your FPR, pull the vac line off it and have a sniff.. If it smells like fuel, then it's a faulty FPR.

I had the same problem as you, but my issue was contaminated fuel..

Could also be a faulty pump.

By the way, do you have a larger pump ? Say a 040 ? If so, they hate 1/4 tanks of fuel lol (well mine does anyway) and it surges on boost..

Firstly im going to get the std pump to 12 v so its running at full pressure and see if that makes a difference. After that ill fit the 040 as the DIY topic explains.

I take it "FPR" is Fuel Pump Return line?or something to that description?? The one that runs from the engine back to the tank past the filter??

had similar problem after fitting 3" hi flow cat. changed plugs to iridium and reduced gap slightly 0.9 mm i think, smaller gap better when combustion pressures are higher as fuel harder to ignite. gave coil packs a good clean as there was carbon around them. ran fine then. drew

      Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!

      Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).
