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

Andrew (Jayson here :) ),

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 :)

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
