My r33 gts-t backfires at high rpm when backing off the gas... pop pop pop i have re-gapped my plugs to .8mm too and it didnt happen before that so im guessing its got something to do with that...

Not to sure why but yeah..

According to what I have read so far, misfiring can shorten the turbocharger's life drastically (damage to the turbine blades) and place the entire exhaust system in shock.. it doesn't sound very good.

This doesnt sound good...

Instead of starting a new thread - Does anyone know how to suppress backfiring?

Is it just a matter of tuning or is it usually something more sinister - eg cat?

your talking about antilag aka missfiring system

Primordial is talking about something else

sounds very normal, nothing to worry about. its a case of running a stock ecu, too much fuel, hot exhuast and this creats backfires or pops, it is more common on warm days because ur engine wiill be hotter along with everyother part in ur car

Thanks Michael,

This sounds correct.I'm running a PFC so it mustn't be tuned properly? How exactly to you lean out mixtures when throttle is dropped off? This isnt really possible with PFC is it?

Its sounds right though... it just a hot exhaust and too much fuel..

Great for scaring pedestrians tho :(

My 34 also does this a little bit but its more of a babble gurgle light popping than large backfireing. It did this straight after a power fc and tune. What bov are you using a atmo one will cause backfires.

if the tune is lean on decel it can do it also. i had a pop at idle due to a vacuum leak, which was making the car run lean.

but just having a big exhaust usually adds a slight pop since when backing off air is trying to force its way back up the exhaust.

Dude do you run a atmo BOV, or do you have a recirculated one. a while ago i had to replace the headlights on a cop car due to my atmo BOV, thats when i was told to put the stcok recirculation system back on and is misteriously dissapeared. oh yea and i run a big exhaust 3.75 inch straight back with 1 resonator, no cat and a muffler in the end, and i dont pop. have it cheked it might safe you a engine build due to turbo failure. :yes:

my guess is the problems is caused by blocking the BOV the AFM puts in fuel for air that isnt there. causing a backfire.

try using your plumb back again and see if that helps.

also look for any intake leaks after the afm,

an aftermarket ecu which removes the afm will solve this and much more.

that's actually wrong... the ECU only dumps in more fuel when your using an atmospheric BOV.... if you've blocked your BOV, all the air still remains in the system and the correct air/fuel mixture is obtained.

he is running an aftermarket ecu, so it doesnt matter.....!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
