Boosting Problem

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..

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
