Hi guys, I have just purchased my second r33 turbo. The fisrt one had every problem you could think of so i am acustomed to the world of skyline with problems. I have this stragne problem. my r33 has a dual stage turboXS boost control with swithc in cabin, podfilter, zorst and forged aftermarket pistons, GFB dual BOV . When i florr it on low boost 7psi it revs out first strong then hit secodn and it dies in the sarse, the car has no pick up and o nthe boost guage it does not seem to be baking boost. Now the same thing in high boost and it goes hard as it should. I took apart the first stage of the boost contorler and their is no problem with that, the bov is calibrated fine. I am guessin git has something to do with the turbo? maybe a sticky waste gate flapp? any ideas guys?

Robbo, $160 is a great price , do u know who it is selling them? i will try and do a search as well

Hey guys, Any one know where i can get a metal turbo intake pipe from or any one who can make one for me? I used to have the problem of it getting sucked closed but now the filter is secured better. I still rather a metal item tho. if any one can make one i would be interested in purchacing one. Cheers

If u can hear it pinging will sound like a box of matches ratling in the background very faint, then sever knocking is basically that, like a cylinder went knock on the side, well thats my interpretation. I drove around for 2 days wihtthe pining box of matches sound and it was real quiet so i thought it wasnt to big a deal to be urgent and then i busted a piston. ended up buying a new engine. Get it checked if your in doubt by a good workshop.

swap for r33 stock turbo in good condition, plust adjustment. What did u have this turbo on? i see its a garret but it is not a truck turbo is it? with the split pulse design i have to ask.

I have a cCF bonnet on my r33 and its heaps lighter than the stock one. Like GTRgoeffe said wank factor and dangerous foro pedestrians. i personally love my CF bonnet and yes it does flap a bit and i have tried all sorts of things to minimize it but it flapps a little, nothing major.

Well guys i just bought it!!! big cheesy if it turns up

i got a reciept for the forgies, cost aroudn $900 from memory. i looked a the web site and then are definently better than stock piston obviously.

I just bought a r33 with acl forged pistons in std size, im hunting fo rinfo about them too
