Hey Guys,

I have recently done some mods to my R33 and am now having a few problems!

After installing a FMIC, Bleed valve(set to 10psi),BOV(Go Fast Bits Stealth fx),

I have had a problem with a splutter when accelerating when hitting 4000 to 5000rpm. After it splutters it kicks in again to red line.

Just recently when driving at low rpm and in low gears it misses completely and jumps then kicks in again. it also stalled the other day when in idle.

Anyone else ever had these symptoms???

Anyone know what the problem could be??? Thanks

hey mate... just had a similar problem with my 32 GTS-T/..... and it turned out it was the fuel pump.... completely shagged itself and needed a new one.... this may b this problem u are having but would pay to chek this as ur first problem

regap your plugs to 0.8mm and it should get rid of your car stuttering, unless the coil pack is screwed. The stall is probably due to the bov, is that stealth fx the one with both atmospheric and plumback ability? If it was at the atmospheric position then thats probably why it stalled.

Do a search as these problems have been covered before.

I installed a GFB stealth just last week to my r33 gtst

Had the same problems

If you read the instructions it tells you to play around with the adjustment until you get it right

I end up with spring pressure about 3/4 stiff and very little atmo

This way i ended up with just enough atmo noise on full boost and stopped the stalling

I have very slight stutter sometimes, will need to do some more adjusting over the week-end.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
