I have a 1994 R33,

I just turn my boost up to 11 pound using a single stage turbo smart boost controller. Since then I am having a problem with flat spots between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. A mate of mine said that the R33's have factory boost limiters maped into the computers?

An suggestions would be helpfull.

Thanks...

Super AirFlow converter.. by Apexi.. it hooks into the oxygen and air flow meter sensors of the car and into the ECU .. basically a correction factor so the ECU "sees" less or more air than actually going in for each rev range. With a different reading "seen", the ECU adjusts the fuel mapping accordingly resulting in a richer or leaner mixture than factory. This generally can be used to give the car a 20-30% power increase with the right tuning.

Its what you use when you don't have a full aftermarket computer (around $1000 more) where the fuel maps (and other things) can be adjusted internally a lot more accurately. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply,

I was going to buy an after market computer. By reading your post above it looks like that will solve my problem.

Ps, Is it true that the standard R33 computer has a over boost restricter? because the problem only exists at 10 pound and over

Hi GunMetalR33, the issues and solutions are;

1. Over boost protection, the ECU cuts fuel and ignition when boost goes over 11 psi. Solution device called boost cut defeater. Cost a couple hundy.

2. 180 kph speed limiter, the ECU cuts fuel and ignition when the speed goes over 18o kph. Solution device called speed limit defeater. Cost a couple hundy.

3. Fuel mixture enrichment, the ECU increases the fuel supply as boost increases. Solution device called SAFC as explained above. Cost a few hundy.

4. Ignition timing retard, the ECU retards the ignition timing as boost increases. Solution device called ITC similar to SAFC except it modifies the timing signal such that the ECU does not retard the ignition. Cost a few hundy.

So if you add all these together you will find that the total cost ends up more than a Power FC. Particularly if you can pick up a used one. If you want to fix all of these issues we always recommend the PFC, if you are happy missing out on more than one fix then maybe the SAFC is worthwhile.

Hope that helps

I was just thinking, it could be the gap in your plugs !!!

Damn, if I would've thought about that last night we could re-gapped them then :P

Seems your car is one of the rare ones that are totally stock, I'd say your plugs are still gapped at 1 or 1.1mm !!

Damn (hitting myself in the head), I should've thought about that !!

Cool, we can re-gap your plug's a little on the weekend and see how it goes?

my car was stock.. but shite, after putting on exhuast and fmic... YOU CNT GO BACK !!!, soooOOOo much more efficient, seriously that smic is sooOOO shithouse its not funny....

Sorry I am new to forums & Skylines, what does SAFC mean?

ha ha ha, I cant believe I asked this type of question :)

Its amazing how much you can learn from this forum... I went from "What does SAFC mean" to installing after market ecu, turbo, injectors and clutch etc :)

man, this takes me back to the first couple of weeks that I had the car :)

    • Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.  
    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
