ok, smoked tested again and found 2 leaks. had to block the exhaust off to find them though, and still wait about 5 minf for that to fill up. the leaks were at the adjsutment screw on the fuel reg, and at the fitting going into the plenum for the brake booster. now has about 5 inhg at idle, idle around 1800-1900 atm, will do some tuning next week or so. need looser converter though. will post figures pics after tuning. thanks for all the help guys.

thats a good idea, will try it tomorrow, i'll let you know how it goes either way

hi guys, thanks for the replies, i gave all the specs of the engine to sure cams and the purpose of the car. (80% strip and 20% street). so he went off that bassis. he has done a set of cams like this before, and to his knowledge, there have been no problems. the head has also had solid rb26 tomei lifters installed too. i have base timing of 15 deg. is it worth trying a little more? as for dialing in the cams with degree wheel, i will have to ask my engine builder about that. i have used him for years and so have my mates, but some times shit happens i suppose. he also tunes it. the ecu is haltech e11v2 milspec. i've been told to expect hp figures around the 750 to 840 atw. it has a 18psi stall converter and 1300hp powerglide behind it from MV automatics ins SA. used to have built jatco 3 spd from keas, but smashed that to bits with the old setup. that was making around 720hp flywheel

Yeah have checked that also, all spot on. The inlet cam is advanced 3degrees and the exhaust I'd retarded 2.5 degrees. Even with the vacuum pump relief valve done up all the way to hard, it still only pulls -2 inhg, and changing it does nothing. Should see about 5-6 inhg at least without the vacuum is this more or less correct?

have just put my engine back into my r33 list of mods below. the problem i'm having it it has nearly no vacuum at idle when it idles at 1500rpm. then for no reason, the rpm will pick up and then idle at 2200rpm. i have carried out a smoke test on the engine with no results. with the engine running, i have sprayed everywhere around anything that can potentially become a vacuum leak or cause one. e.g (injector seals, plumbing fittings under plenum, around the valve covers, the brake booster, the throttle body seal, the gasket faces) i have blocked of the hose to the brake booster to eliminate the booster, no change there. out of ideas, can anybody help me please. i have spent over $30k on this motor, i need to get it working, really getting frustrated. thanks engine: rb25det head full cnc with vg30 over sized valves 1.5mm custom grind cams from surecams (297 in, 310 ex, 10.2mm lift) hks adjustable cams gears plazmaman plenum plazmaman 75mm billet throttle body 40thou over JE customs pistons perfect circle rings brian crower rods nitrided and heat treated crank N1 oil pump davies craig electric water pump and fan controller hks 1000cc injectors on rb26 hks top feed rail hks t04z 0.82 a/r rear housing 6boost high mount manifold hks 50mm gt2 wastegate plazmaman fmic GZ motorsport vacuum pump with relief valve fuel system: bosch 040 intank 2L surge tank 2 x bosch 044 inline pumps twin lines to fuel rail aeromotive fuel reg.

are you able to build bolt in cage for r33 with sunroof. to suit drags. aiming for 10s

hey mate, i might be a bit late but i have had the same trouble with my r33 rb25det. it turns out that the oil seals (in the oem oil cooler off the side of the oil filter bracket) were shot. so what i did was just bypass the cooler as i also have a front mount oil cooler. it could also be the oil seals in your turbos as i have heard of this occurring before as well. not sure if rb26 had oem oil cooler. but if you haven't had any luck since your post, hope this helps. i'm also interested to find out ehat it was that caused this to happen. that is if it wasn't caused by the above.

i got it from otomoto and i think for memory i paid around $1000 that was for turbo and the dump pipe to suit rb25det. i had kkr 480 and they are so laggy its funny. seriously.

from my experience there are no pros for the kkr turbos. i have had too many problems with them in such short little. such as internal wastegate jamming open, oil seals on the turbine shaft failing. i bought it brand new, and no later than 1 month, i had to send it back cause the wastegate had jammed open, was only running 14 psi. no sooner had i put it back on, within a month i had to send it back again to get the seals replaced. and only 3 months ago the seals went again, so i threw it in the rubbish and spent the money on a garrett gt3030r which is what i should have done in the first place and saved a lot of time and hassles. i'm not saying all kkr turbos are them same. but i am not buying one ever again. they are just cheep chinese turbos. you get what you pay for here.

yeah i bought a couple of things off nengun. they do take a while to get here. like the other fella said, its unfortunate, that we have to put up with ..."delays"... but you do eventually get it, well, i received everything i ordered. all be it late though. as for the tracking number, none of mine ever worked either. i suppose thats the price we pay for cheaper, but good quality products

hey guys, new to the site, has any one got a used r33 auto shifter in good condition, looking to buy, can anyone help me? would be much appreciated
