R33 Gtr Idling Rough, Afm Issue?

[Kurruptt]

Hey guys, have been reading through your forums for a while now trying to figure out what is wrong with my car. The issue is the other day I accelarated and something blew.. turbos wouldn't boost and wouldn't idle... blowing heaps of black smoke at idle and could barely move the car.

Now I have had the turbos replaced as I was always planning to replace them anyway.. Its still idling funny and the mechanic has found when they unplug the air flow meters that the car idles perfectly but obviously won't do much else.

Mods are FMIC (Aftermarket)

Mines ecu (I know you guys hate these )

Apexi cat back exhaust

Pod filters

Have you guys ever had this problem? Does the ECU just need a reset? I still have the standard ECU which I could try as well.

Thanks so much for your help

Sounds like blown intercooler piping, have a look at that

Have you checked for blown intercooler pipes?

Ecu reset won't do anything.

Get your self a can of brake cleaner or contact cleaner ( I recommend these as they don't leave any residue behind ) then while the car is idling spray it around the throttle bodies particularly No 2, and see if the ie changes, sounds like a vac leak and these things are well known for it

That's what I was thinking too guys.

It wasn't long ago I had the FMIC fitted and it seems a strange coincidence I have had problems 3 weeks later. The mechanic says they have checked the piping however?

Thanks for the pointers

Double check the intercooler pipes urself
