VG20 ?? Why don't you get a better turbo ? You a prolly blowing heaps of hot air - and by raising the boost makes it worse.

Sure you can cool the air with an intercooler - but wouldn't it be better to not let the air get so hot in the first place ?

Cheers,

there is a host of other factory nissan bits from various nissan cars that you need to install the Greddy. The manual that comes with the intake plenum gives you all the part numbers. A nissan dealer should be able to hook you up.

My 20 cents worth, richen it up NOW. Don't wait to buy some parts, 13 to 1 A/F ratio is more than I would consider running for 1 day. You don't need a FMIC or a plenum to fix lean A/F ratios. But if you don't fix the A/F ratios you are going to need a new engine, maybe tomorrow or maybe the next day. :Bang:

Have you checked your Plugs and Coil Packs ? Looks very similar to a r33 gts-t we run up on the dyno with a couple of coils a little dodgy.

And yes invest in a bigger fuel pump they are a man’s best friend when you own a skyline.

Other wise you will be singing the song .. number 6 da da…… I melted piston number…. 6 da da…

13_devil,

Doesnt mean that if it only happens at 5000rpm it will not destroy ur engine in the long run.

I believe the problem doesn't just occur suddenly at 5000rpm but it may build up slowly until it's noticeable enough at 5000rpm to show up on dyno graph. so it could start to happen at a lower severity (hardly noticeable) at 2000, 3000, 4000 rpm. keep running it over and over and after a while it can just go bang at the time u least expected. After a while the problem may shifted to 4000rpm at 4th gear, then as it goes worse it can be at 3rd gear 3000rpm until the whole engine seized.

I'd say get it fixed dun ignore it. See my dyno graph below right when still having same pinging problem with yours, and below left after I fixed it (my fuel pump not supplying enough pressure). It only happens last yr at 5500rpm and raised boost, this year it happens at stock boost as low as 3000rpm engine start pinging cos leaning out. Lucky i fixed it and compression test shows engine is still healty (was running stock boost over 1 yr since 1st problem detected).

Cheers,

Edit: stupid attachment, the one i attached first turns out to be on the right.

I'm speaking from personal experience.

My car used to ping at anything around or above 4000rpm, some days it would, some days it wouldn't.

Being the stubborn and over enthusiastic child I was, I kept going, pushing it and driving it with the "she'll be right mate" attitude.

One day it started blowing smoke, then abit more, then abit more - till the motor died!

And guess what? This was a STOCK engine! Except for a Cat Back Exhaust and guess what else? Front Mount Intercooler (800 x 300)

What I suggest to you, check your injectors or get them cleaned straight away, check the timing, it may seem it's not touched but a careless belt change may have knocked it out.

I have a new engine now (RB25DET) and with Full Turbo Back Exhaust and Front Mount Intercooler I have not heard one ping whatsoever.

Relating to the main question being asked... IMO a plenum is a good move for a few reasons (even with standard turbo)... But the main ones is that it reduces the piping and the next is the throttle response... Made an enormous difference on my car...

my 2 cents... :D

If I spent $1,500 on a turbo upgrade and you spend $1,500 on an inlet plenum I'll bet my car is faster. :D

thanks everyone for the reply :)

Im going to get myself a powerfc, at the end on the month; get it tune up and hopfully that will fix the problem :)

The car just got its major serives, so everyone is ok (as injections, plugs, timing belt, timing etc)

but yeah im running only stock boost at the moment and no pushing the car hard so im hoping it will last for a month

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
