A friend of mine has an R33 GTSt 97 model, I drove it the other day and it seems to bogs down once it reaches 2000rpm then the rpm increases very slowly. as if something is holding it back.

he changed fuel filter. and the turbo seems to be boosting fine.

I was thinking the throttle body maybe dirty, what do you guys think?? any ideas

vendetta...that signature would have to be one of the most rediculous things i have read on a car site. makes you look like like an idiot before people even get a chance to judge you...

on the topic of the thread, it could be the AFM or even the air filter if it is dirty and not enough air getting through. Also maybe injectors dirty - run some injector cleaner through before pulling things apart in case its something small. try fiddling with the throttle polition sensor (there's a thread on it) as well as this could be the problem.

Waz.

  • 3 months later...

we took everything apart and the rubber hose coming from the turbo to the pod filter was loose we tightened it but still. when driving it i feel like there is too much air going in or something.

it goes a bit better but still it still feels abit ristricted in power. we changed the spark plugs, cleaned the afm, changed the ecu .

next step is changing the coil packs. any other suggestions.

i still think its a boost leak

check the zaust manifold... sometimes they can crack

but i dont think ive ever heard of a standard one cracking

could also be loose from the block or a gasket is blown somewhere.... check both sides of the equation.... but if its when its on boost id say 90% chance its a boost leak or something similar ahmed

took everything on the right hand side of the engine apart and put it back together, I noticed there is a minimal amount of oil in front of the turbo but there is no shaft play or anything. and defenitly there is no air leak cause i checked everything

the car has improved but still i feel like the engine is restricted its not as free as it should be. tomorrow we'll have a look at the fuel side of things (fuel rail, injectors)

anyone have any other ideas??

I read something about the o2 sensor sometimes becoming faulty where is that located and can that be the problem ?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
