I have an R33 gtst, with mild mods, FMIC, pod, full exhaust and T piece boost controller

My problem is that sometimes the car goes hard and the next minutes it doesnt boost at all and drives like shit, the boost gauges just goes to the "0" position and the car simply is NA, while this is happening there is a resonating/rattling sound coming from somewhere in the front of the engine, possibly turbo? Then a few moments later it boost to 10 psi like it should and goes hard

The car was dynoed about 2 weeks ago and since then its been like that.

Would it be something to do with the wastegate?

If anyone can give me some advice I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Not to sure if you checked this or not..

but could be spark plugs?

Post your dyno sheet as well.. See if you getting flat spots or not...

Hmm sound coming from front? not good to hear.. but can be anything..

before the dyno run car had copper plugs pregapped to 0.8mm, for the dyno run the tuner put in new copper plugs and gapped them to 0.6mm

As for the sound it can be anything but it seems definately related to the car not boosting because when the car goes hard like it should the sound isnt there

the tuner put in 0.6 plugs for a computer that was meant to be tuned along with higher 12 psi boost level. but in the end wasnt and the plugs stayed.

How can the smaller gap prevent the car from boosting and what would that noise be?, and on the other hand it boost most of the time.. :D

I seriously think you should put those 0.8 gapped plugs in..

Try those out and see.. Im sure it will fix it..

AS for the noise.. no idea man.. Maybe go back to the place where you got the dyno done and him what it is.. Tell him its been happening since you got the dyno done..

check your zorst, i used to have a rattle thaht sounded like was coming from the front of the bay and ended up being a snapped cat zorst nut that let the cat rattle against the front pipe. check the zorst!!

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
