hey guys,

i put a blitz lm fmic on my r32 gtst a couple of months ago and ive noticed the when you put your foot down at say 2,500rpm it takes of hit full boost then hesitates at about 3000rpm maybe a little more and takes of like a bat outta hell again! what would this be i have a 3" cat back would the standard front & dump & cat be restricting when the wastegate starts to open with so much flow ??

its really annoying

thanks simon

In my uneducated opinion, its probably rich and retard. You got more piping to pressurise, so your turbo is going to draw more air when it spools and then you get rich and retard.

I'd try cleaning your AFM, with the mods you listed it shouldn't be hitting R&R

It won't be anything to do with the exhaust or wastegate side of things.

Check all piping for vacuum leaks, maybe in the heat of the moment you accidently missed nipping up a hose clamp. Have you bumped up boost? Maybe the fuel pump is no longer keeping up.

Have you got the bumper back on? Care to post a few pics of the fmic behind the front bar?

Also could you do me a favour and measure from the top of the ic to the very bottom of the ic piping? >_<

I'm after another fmic but want something that uses the stock piping route, as the blitz item does.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
