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

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.

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
