Hi

I have a R33 gtst with FMIC, turbo back exhaust, boost controller, boost gauge, apexi pod installed recently.

When I adjust the boost up to 12 psi, while it's boosting up to around 10 psi, the car will popping, sounds like missing fires, but not too sure about it.

Would you guys know if there's a fuel or boost cut of R33?

I am new to skyline so please help.

If the fuel is too rich to cause those popping noise out of the exhaust, would Emanage solve that problem? or a stand alone EMS just like microtech or something.

Which series of microtech is the best for R33 Rb25det?

Thank you

Benny

Sounds like your coil packs mate,they will most likely have hairline cracks in em from being under the cover and getting hot. pull em out, wrap some fire retardent electrical tape round em n see if that helps. if so time to look at some spit fire packs!

do a search for more info, has been heaps of discussion diagnosing problems that ends up bein coil packs!~

if its not that, put it on dyno and see if its leaning out, could be fuel pump playin up.

cheerscheers!

The microtech ltx12s is most suitable for the r33.

Try searching the forums before asking a question next time, your problem probably is caused by incorrect spark plug gap. Gap the plugs to 0.7mm with some feeler guages and it should be fine. i personally think its a safer option to run no more than 10psi through the standard turbo with standard ecu. They tend to develop a flat spot. All this information has been covered, if you want more just search.

I'd agree on the spark plugs, either gap what you have or replace the ones you got with gaps already at 0.8 i think

May as well replace em while you're at it, you have to eventually anyway.

I doubt its the coils on that sort of power.

And i'd personally allow up to 12psi on the standard.

...but that's up to you, i had no probs for over a year before upgrading.

13-14 is getting dangerous, particulatly 14.

..but then again, some peeps prolly go bang on 11psi, but never heard/read of any real issues on 12psi

I have the same mods, I upped my boost to 10psi and after a month or so I started to get the same problem. I got a cheap tested set off a fellow sau member and that fixed the problem, unfortunatly I am now getting the same problem around the 5krpm range, so if you try and change the plugs and that doesn't work then go and spend the $512 and get Splitfires from Slide.

Hi. Please take the time to have a search.

This is a common problem as flies in your home :)

Search for "+rich +retard" and you'll find dozens upon dozens of threads about increasing boost, without management.

Cheers

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
