i wouldnt recommend doing any of those really... yes acceleration would speed up but it would be throwing ur afm readings out of wack.... every now and again ill take the pod off my car as i can run no afm but that usually doesnt stay long at all....id prefer to keep my motor clean

ben...

Mine was missing one side of the mesh when I bought it, and it runs rich (I think). I get bad economy, but not much smoke at all. (no more than your average family car) Don't know what it's like on boost though, I certainly can't SEE any smoke.

Maybe try resetting your ECU, so it can relearn? Dunno if that would help it learn the A/F ratio or anything, because once you're out of closed loop, the ECU switches to the fuel-maps.

I'm hoping an SAFC can fix that for me and gain a little more oomph.

which side is urs missing, i took out one mesh did little as i removed the other one and fitted it back on.. good on the acceleration but bloody eats fuel like cops on shi*t .... p.s one mesh removed makes a difference

hmm i will try re-setting da ecu man :laugh:

if not cover da mesh time ...till i can get a new ecu unit

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
