hey guys, i have recently purchased a R33 GTST Series 2, engine mods consist of a bov, turbo back zorst (3") and front mount also a pod filter....

anyways when i put my foot to the floor in 2nd gear the car goes but it backfires aswell....

is this normal, there is no boost controller but the guage says its boosted to 11psi..

any help would be great, thanks

based on other threads on this subject (u should really do a search for this stuff first cause there is usually a thread or two that is usually relevant) - it could be the BOV that is the cause - that it is not releasing enough back pressure and the wastegate cant cope with the load and it backfires

it might need adjusting

either that or the zorst is the cause of the prob - though i doubt it

ask the previous owner - or the dealer - about it (depends who u got it through of course)

and NO i am not an expert - considering that i dont drive a turbo skyline (bugger) but it is what i have deduced and what makes sense 2 me

coils dude. Look for cracks on them. Check plug gap, 0.8mm. Clean AF meter wire but be very very carful when cleaning it, dont touch it just spray it with wd40 or contact cleaner. Next check all pipes for leaks, maybe and air leak. Thats about all I can think of.

Search for a theard called report that engine failure heaps of info

Good luck

I agree with race_snooze but I don't think you should clean the AF meter with WD40 as this is an oil based substance and AF meters are very sensitive to oil. Clean it using a water based substance like detergent & water mixed together then spray with just water to get rid of all detergent agents. Let dry & you should have a clean AF meter.

Also check if and plugs are fouled.

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
