I got a 96 R33 GTS-T Series 2 Manual. After 4500RPM roughly (Hi-boost mode - standard boost), it surges and carrys on till about 6 then kicks in again till redline, change to next gear and it surges again. Its a smooth surge not like a jerking. Very recently done plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, injecters cleaned and other stuff. Any ideas??? ECU???

Join the club mate, I have had the same problem with mine since I did the turbo conversion on the 25de, and just about replaced everything. AFM is next tho as its the only thing I didnt replace when I did the conversion. Even splitfires didnt make a difference, tried different ecu's with different maps etc, still no luck

in the last few months its had the following replaced or mod'd:

splitfire coil packs

spark plugs - platinum

fuel pump - walbro

K&N Pod

dump/front pipe

fuel filter

oil & oil filter

clutch

water pump

timing belt

i know most of that stuff wouldnt caus it but thats whats been done, so im guessing its either a fuell pressure reg or an air flow meter now, remember its a smooth surge not a jolting or jerking when detenating occurs,

still bloody stumped and angry

Seeing as you have have tried a lot of different options could be a long shot but i might be your afm, also due to the k&n pod you are using as they are oil based filters, and the oily film can disturb the air folw meter. Pehaps try cleaning your afm and putting a different filter on or standard box.

Hey walta did you end up finding your problem?

I was talking to someone else about a similar problem they had and they said it was the Intake hose from AFM into the turbo sucking closed, they resolved it by putting on a silcon intake pipe on.

i agree with evryone those k&n filters especially being oil based will F### your afm it happens on subaru's all the time and you problem with running lean sounds like you ecu not adding enough fuel on boost or cruise and it is surgeing if you have checkd fuel pressure and it is good thats ok could also be dirty injectors or oxygen sensor possibly not reading correctly or your afm running lean on boost and surgeing for fuel mite be worh just getting it checked of a resistance reading could even be coolant temp sensor check it for resistance the higher the temp of the engine the lower the resistance should be just a few ideas

Nothing wrong with the K&N actually. It's because people over oil them, contrary to instructions. So only avoid them if you can't read. :)

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
