Need some advice on this. Have read a few different threads.

Details:

Car runs stock bov. 10psi boost stock airbox and turbo. R33 gtst. 3" exhaust turbo back with unknown brand of cat and stock ecu

Problem:

Car runs ok using 10psi. However if you do more than about 4 or 5 bursts of full throttle there is some big bangs from exhaust on decel and you can even hear small bangs when back at idle.

Tps signal seems ok. Checked that on the PFC. Will switch to PFC once I get the Wideband in but would like to sort this first

Exhaust doesn't appear to have a leak. Not sure how old cat is.

When I changed the exhaust the mechanic thought there may be hairline crack in exhaust manifold but there us no soot or any signs of leak from it.

Problem may be slightly worse after fill up.

It still has a charcoal canister connected but one of the pipes on top of engine is blocked off. I.e only one line going to canister so assume no feed back into engine?

What I though it could be:

1. Leaky injector. But wouldn't it not just be after a number of runs.

2. Exhaust leak. Can't see soot anywhere or hear any leaks

3. Overfuel of stock ecu. I had a previous r33 that got down to about 9:1 and still didn't bang so don't think it's that. Running lower boost doesn't seem to change that much

It's just strange that it's only after car is really warm etc that it does it.

The exhaust installer did say the manifold looked as if it had been quite warm at some stage. Metal is very grey from heat. But I think most manis look like that after a few years..

One strange thing that after a fuel fill up I can sometimes hear a vibration noise that cones and goes from near the filler cap.

I opened the cap and the noise stopped and sounded like a pressure release. So might need to check that out. But if there is no return in the charcoal canister and the fuel injectors are shut on decel this shouldn't really be causing the issue

Sorry about the essay.. Got a few things to check I guess. Anyone had this or got ideas?

Cheers

Yeah after a few runs it will be running rich to protect the motor and thats when it seems to bang.

I can do a brap here in there then on decel it will pop and play up.

Shouldnt be to worried.

Maybe chuck the FC in and get it tuned for the boost its running?

Can somebody tell me where the charcoal canister lines run?

Near the crossover pipe there are 2 small tubes.

The top one runs to the charcoal canister (looks like after market as mounted lower than the stock one)

The bottom tube has been blocked off.

Is the bottom one the feed back into engine?

There seems to be some pressure build up in the fuel tank. You can hear some noise around the cap when fuel tank is close to full and when you undo the cap there appears to be quite a release and noise goes away .

I wonder if this has anything to do with the backfire I.e an incorrect functioning fuel tank vent

Thanks. Yes - that sounds pretty important!! Is this the one? Looks like the hose is crushed and quite old..

Anyway - the setup doesn't appear stock. Will need to look at it. It's a huge canister mounted low. See some photos.

Hopefully fixing this may alleviate the issue.

Thanks mate that would be great. If you take a photo near your canister also that would be good.

Looks like someone has fitted a bigger charcoal canister at some point and botched the standard setup! Might try and get a stock canister and plumb things up as per stock

Hmm. Think it's been like that for a while re. wetness around pipe.

Might have to check the PCV and around turbo.

Engine doesn't blow any smoke and doesn't use any oil so dont think blowby could be THAT bad??

There isn't any leaks around the rocker covers which is where you would expect it if it way that bad??

thanks

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
