i used a fan screw from one of the pc's at work lol. worked a treat, then i used a mates vice. i didnt squash it too much, but the spring tension is definately tighter now. lets see how we go tomorow on the dyno again :bunny:

well just as i thought. went to get the car retuned today and loosing pressure again!!!

the plenum gasket totally stuffed. soon as i hit 16 psi theres a loud / medium pitched hiss and drops back to about 13.9 psi. that sound right people?

ive started to get it sorted but im stuck. how to i get the bolts out from under the plenum?

Edited by R33GOD

i changed the plenum gasket. it stopped the major leak. i dont know what the heck is goin on but i cannot hold boost above 14psi!!!!!!!!!!!

i took it to g-tech today and done a boost leak test and there was absolutely no leaks.

my actuator is a hks one so i dont know why it wouldnt hold boost.

could it be my gizzmo electronic boost controller?

this has got me really pi$$ed off!

opinions please!!

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
