the factory vct switches off at around 4500rpm so you get a bit of a flatspot there.

before anyone says that it is rich and retard, that is a violent on/off. and zennon gets it on his r32 and they don't have rich and retard as far as i know.

a new ecu won't fix the problem. it is to do with the variable cam timing. if you got an aftermarket ecu you could adjust where it switches on and off, but that would just move the problem, not get rid of it. if you didn't have the vct kick in at all you would just end up with it being less powerful at low rpm. about the only solution is aftermarket cams.

its hard to say - when i use to have a super lightweight flywheel it seemed to just loose it all together

now i have a normal lightweight flywheel and it seems to loose it and then come back

when the air is very dense (heavy) IE cold cold night - it seems to rev fine all the way to 7 without any problems...

would this indicate its an air flow problem?

for me it feels like it funs out of boost so it pulls then flattens out then after like 5000-6000 rpm it starts boosting hard again

i had the same issue all i did to fix it, is repair coilpacks, regap spark plugs and change my ecu to PFC which has seem to fix the problem i dont know which one has fix the problem as i did all this in one go lol. :worship: i have full boost and full power though out the rev range

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
