Gts-t Problem

[Staunch]

own a 96 R33 GTS-T Series 2, mods:

pod filter (cheapy brand)

turbotech controller @ 8-9 psi

GCG Highflow turbo

3" turbo back exhaust

R34 Side mount

stock ecu

Problem: sometimes when down gearing (clutch in, moving into appropriate gear) the revs drop to 1000-2000rpm and runs like a pig as if choking, and somtimes turns off. I've thought maybe its because of faulty AFM, shit pod, ECU not liking the new turbo? Also does it matter if the pod + afm aren't mounted or braced somewhere? for e.g. I can lift the pod and the AFM and pipe lifts as well. does it matter if it is loose?

Atmo BOV by chance?

could be dirty AFM aswell

two things to get you started

have you checked that your afm plug is in properly?

i had this problem with my 32, cos i didnt have a bracket for the pod, the pod & afm were flying around and it bashed the plug loose...

pushed it on properly and ran perfectly

[blind_elk]

Have you had the injectors cleaned recently? Have you tried heel-toeing on the downchange?

Maybe it doesn't like ingesting hot air from the engine bay.

Legally you should have your pod fixed in place with a bracket and as 'salad' pointed out it is better for this reason.

It sounds like it is flooding with fuel, maybe time for a ecu upgrade or remap.

maybe time for a ecu upgrade or remap.

I'll agree with that. When did it start happening? I'm guessing when you put on the new turbo.

i would say check you afm and also have a look at your throttle body and make sure there isn't a heap of crap in there

Putting the turbo on shouldn't have that happen.. have you checked your BOV whether it be stock or not.. sounds like the normal BOV issue.. however you haven't said anything.. about it.. if the AFM is dirty it could be dumping heaps of fuel in?.. not sure..

could be dirty plugs. i had something similar to this happen. when giving it a bit of stick when i slowed down and put the clutch in it would stall. new plugs fixed it. also had a mate with the same problem, and plugs fixed it aswell.
