I have an auto 93 r33 GTS-t and it is only making 90kw on the dyno ...

it has no power down low, or even thru the middle rev range, BUT i can feel it hit boost around about 5,000rpm ..

the only mods that are on it are:

* HKS Superdragger exhaust

* Turbosmart BOV

* Turbosmart boost controller

even before any of the above mods were made it still ran like shit, and my mate had it on his dyno today and it has only made a top of 90kw, he had thought that the cat may have collapsed but that isnt the case .. he has told me that r33's havent got the best standard ECU, BUT some are quite good and others are shitty its just the luck of the draw ..

what could be the problem?? he is flat out with work and unfortunately didnt have the time today to go over it all ..

any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Factory boost level?

If so you'd only expect around 140rwkw or so, and the auto will suck about 10k off that. So a problem yes - most likely as stated around the timing of the CAS, or the actual cam belt being off a tooth as well causing issues (also common).

Thanks for the feedback guys, my mate had done a smoke test and it had come up clear so we will check the timing asap, but its no longer running stock boost level, he set it at around 9psi I think

That's what I would like to try, so if anyone in Newcastle or the Central Coast has a known working ECU and would let me try it out it would be much appreciated and I can get a carton of beer or whatever for their time and help!!!

If it suits you more pal I'd be more than happy to wait till the weekend until its out permanently, how's that sound for you? Where are you from, I could come pick it up and try it out at your place

THIS is the EXACT same problem I am having after my engine swap. shitty power down low, makes boost fine but no pull untill 5000rpm

Checked everything I could by myself, Cam timing exhaust restriction boost/vacuum leaks etc. Also If you put a timing light on it can you actually get a reading, mine just jumps around.

I noticed the other day that my injectors are not the standard purple colour they are red, so im guessing thats my issue and a long shot but could be yours???

I've only ever seen this problem in marine and I'm not sure what spark plugs are required in rb's but I've seen a mercury 75hp have crazy issues and jump around on the timing light because the resistor in one of the spark plugs failed.

ok well i tried a new ECU this afternoon and no difference, so i will be moving onto trying a new AFM ..

if anyone around the newcastle/central coast region has a spare afm for a series 1 33 that i could borrow it would be much appreciated !!

      I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.

      There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.

      This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
