hey, i asked this question in another thread but didnt get an answer so just thought id start a post n ask.

got an r33, minor mods include hks pod with heat sheild, fujitsubo 3.5 cat back, blitz bov.

i want to install a turbotech boost tee and bump it up to aroung 10 psi. been told i need a fuel cut defender but the car will misfire at about 5000rpm and want to know how i stop this? also is there anything else i need to do to safely bump it up??

thanks heaps

Brett :D

PowerFC will not necessarily solve the misfire issue.

Yes, it will get aroung the R&R issues, but I have just installed a PowerFC and am still missing at ~5000rpm with anything over 14psi.

My coils aren't the issue either because I have done a Bosch coil pack convesion and even then I had to gap my plugs to .6

I am beginning to suspect there is a voltage drop to the coils at full load because the miss only happens at WOT. If I give it half throttle it will rev cleanly all the way to redline, but give it full throttle and it shits itself.

In summary, try gapping your plugs to .6

Running a little rich perhaps?

Brett :(

I have the same mods as you and same turbotech boost tee and have been running 10psi for about 6months and it rev's till redline with no problems.

sweet as! and was it worth doin? make much difference to your car?

cheers

brett

yeah just do it. If it wont rev like it did b4 remove it do a few more mods and than put it back in. you will find it quicker for about a week and then you will be looking for more power :dry:

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
