I didnt do it myself but the guy who i bought it off. Everything seems fine with the engine, but the car is running way too rich...so much smoke and smell.The engine is running low compression pistons since its was originally a rb20det. What can i do? put non turbo injectors and/or change the fuel pump?

Injectors etc probably arent going to help, more likely an ECU will...... But i must ask WHY did he remove the turbo? The RB20DET - T would be terrible to drive? (No offense)

crap power low end but it picks up like a skyline should after like 5500rpm. BTW i think there is already an ecu..u cant just take the turbo off and expect your car to run...it wont!

Oh it'll run just fine.

Might be a lil' rich though.

an NA that piks up after 5500. Far out. your on p's by the sound of it?

the only money id spend on that is to get a rb25de and bolt in.

you think there is an ECU? is this car on bricks?

go fist yourself, i want to drive a non turbo r32, f**k me right? i dont care ive been looking for a factory gts for a while now and most of them are either auto or are really expensive. They are rare...more and more r32's are off the street nowadays. The car drives fine, it just runs rich.

You said its got a non turbo computer? What colour are the injectors? pink or red?

Also a rooted o2 sensor will cause this.

injectors are greyish black

here's a picture of the ecu...it looks aftermarket : http://imgur.com/2UWCH

Looks like the NISTUNE logo and Envy Dyno.......

ye i told you it had an different computer

id also like to mention im still using the factory turbo manifold...its been modified to go straight to the dump pipe. Maybe its a bit restrictive? getting different headers will be one of the first mods id do.

haha, hit a sore point did i mate?

Sorry, your car is not rare. But... What you could do.Is grab a NA rb25de for Say $500, Bolt it in. Not only will you have a stock DE motor, But will be able to enjoy the extra .5 Lt. Win win is it not?

Otherwise you could spend money on what you currently have....And still be drving around in a low comp 2L NA

and pay thousands to get it engineered? no thanks bro

Definetly buy a rb25de motor, cheap as compared to fixing yours to run properly as will only take a day to fit of you have some knowledge. Also will go way quicker than what's in there now

Hmmm, you should watch what you are talking about. As for his suggestion of putting a proper non turbo motor in there is the smartest decision you will ever make.

As for why your car is running shit? Its because the turbo is missing doofus. And want to know another thing? Your non turbo'd car is still illegal for you to drive on your p's because it was registered as a turbo.

So instead of spitting in people's faces like a spoilt brat, just take what he says and reply in a manner as follows, no thank you, I would rather try something else

and pay thousands to get it engineered? no thanks bro

lol u driving a non turbo 4 wheel drive r33 ROFL what a joke why bother having 4 wheel drive when your car dont even have power lolololololol

Doesn't need to be engineered as its a factory motor designed for that chassis. Also awd helps heaps in wet, I know my rwd r33 has stepped a few times when you don't want it to.

Also, what's with the attitude, why bother asking for help of your not going to take it positively

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
