yo. been lurkin around here for a while but never signed up

anyway, ive got a r33 gts25t and just upgraded the stock turbo to a hiflowed version.

added a 500hp fuel pump, and basically the car runs like shit.

it goes faster at half throttle than full, or more like the same speed but feels like its being held back bigtime.

i replaced the fuel filter not so long ago.

the engine idles at 500rpm and will always stall if i dont try keep it running.. there are no air leaks.

if i keep my foot down fully it will evenly start popping out the intake i believe and sometimes back fires.

before doing the turbo and fuelpump i had snapped 6 exhaust studs so it wasnt really boosting anyway as there were massive leaks, but before these leaks i ran mint.

i know the o2 sensor wiring is stuffed, but the ecu doesnt use the o2 sensor on boost anyway.

Any ideas??

thanks

hey mate if you still running the standard ecu and its hasnt had a remap that could be your problem because they have a boost cut at around 14psi and it will sorta of just lose all power? also if you have an aftermarket bov venting to the atmosphere the afm tend to go a bit crazy and your car will stall an backfire a bit? I would recomend getting your ecu retuned and having the boost cut removed. Thats only my opinion but i had similar troubles an once i installed a re-tuned r33 ecu the backfiring dissapeared an also the stalling e.t.c good luck with it.

yeh i do abit of ecu retuning myself and i know that its not the ecu thats playing up. its only running 9psi, and at half throttle psi it goes well, but at full throttle 9psi it goes the same but feels like its bein held back. i should probly check fuel pressure, but i dont know the best way to go about this? is there any homemade sorta rig i can use to check it?

It wont be boost cut as he is having issues with idle.

First thing I would is switch the ECU over to diagnosis and check for any error codes, the ecu will tell you exactly what has failed if anything.

What condition is the rubber gasket in between the top and bottom half of the plennum? Any raise in boost can often bring gaskets prone to leaking out of the woodwork.

Also check the air re-circulation valve.

It sounds like an air leak but again Im only speculating.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
