Blue_R32

Hey am looking for a clean r33 in Brisbane for under 15000... PM me if u have a nice one for sale.. open to different colours mods etc.. Just want something that is mechanically strong and in very good nic.

Would just like to stress the intention of this post is not to bag out any particular workshop, and i have not mentioned any names etc, so no need to get upset.. You know who you are.. One would imagine though if they took their car to a good workshop for a apexi power fc install and tune they would either come out with a smile from the new tune (from what I have read eveyone else raves about the powerfc) or an eplanation on why their car now runs like a pile of crap... car is getting checked out soon.

yeah does make sense, maybe we blew the gasket taking it for a drive after we got it back.. would the blown gasket cause shite loads of black smoke on idle though?? boost climbs but just does not snap up of full boost, just climbs slowly.. and nismoid, no have not spoken to the workshop yet as just the car back at 5pm, they closed up etc, so we'll speak to them tomorrow.. in no way am i tryin to blame them, just trying to figure out the chain of events that led to the car now barely running. still the work shop said the actuator was fubared?? how many r33 stock turbos have stuffed atuators? is this common?

umm maps a a biatch to type up.. i kinda have the written down, might take a pic.. i noticed all the airflow settings are 100 percent.. inj maps.. from 1x1 to about 5x5 it os 100.. from six x six up a bit it is at the 119 mark and at 20 x 20 she tops out at 123. hope that kinda makes sense. try and get a pic... only reason i thought no torque graph was suss, is cause the car has definately lost torque. but according tot he dyno sheets it has gained 10 kw top end and lost 3 psi of boost after the tune???

whats the best way to tell if the pfc has been tuned proerally? any easy way to tell. this is the first time i have checked out the hand controller..

and yes on boost wel and truly prior to 3k, just giving a round number.. not after we got it back from the workshop though, now it is not on 7 psi till about 4500rpm..

Paulr33 thats spot on shounds bloody terible, very farty and rattley. exhaust gasket? maybe it blow on the dyno?? would that explain the awefull richness at idle.?

Hey guys, just want to throw some ideas around about the sever issues my friends car is now suffering after having a pcf installed and tuned at a fairly respectible brisbane workshop. upon picking the car up my mate was told that they could not tune it to 11 psi as promised (std 33 turbo) as the actuator was screwed.. Now it was boosting up fine before taking it to the workshop - 8-9 psi arround 3k rpm as expected via a turbotech. he drives it home and says car is running shit and lacking in power. Dyno sheets show 189 rwkw and good air fuel ratio. Now there is no torque graph, which i thought was strange? hiding something maybe. anyhow full boost is not not made till arround 4-4500k rpm.. and it has been tuned to only run about 7 psi tops.. also car has all supporting mods, brand new fuel pump, fmic, pod full 3 inch zost with hiflow cat and now the pfc. so i take it for a drive. strange rattle noise round the exhaust\turbo area.. lacking power for sure, boost does not hit hard. now we get home and let it idle. i can hear a rattley noise from arround the turbo exhaust housing when giving her a little rev. exhaust note sounds shit now aswell and not tough.. not to mention at idle she is blowing loads of black smoke and smeels badly like fuel.. and does not have a nice smooth idle. very up and down and just sounds wrong.. so from the above anyone got any clues as to what might be the problem. I am thinking possible exhaust wheel damage on turbo, hence rattles around the exhuast housing of the turbo.. Now if this is the case, would u not think a professional workshop would have known this and offered some advice more then just "mate your actuator is stuffed so it is not boosting properally" in which casue u would think they would replace it at a fee instead of trying to sell u a 3 grand turbo. any ideas fellas
