hi guys, im from the states and i need of a bit of help with my r33. ive checked the turbo, its good in working order, i just changed plugs and checked gaps for each. the car runs super rich about 9-10 a/f at low throttle just cruising, however at WOT the car leans out as it builds boost and jerks violently. also if i hold the throttle about half way it will build about 3 or 4 pounds and feels as if im brake boosting, suction from the intake/turbo is loud but no acceleration without the jerking. but as soon as i punch it it knocks and flips out. i changed plugs again and no help also checked vacuum sources and double tripple checked everything. im at a loss. there are no check engine lights. 127km on the car and motor. also car reacts the same way with the boost controller on or off.

mods include:

pod filter

front mount

turbo back exhaust

greddy profec boost controller at .6 bar

afc neo with decel at 1% throttle, 1.2 at 1000 and 3.8 at 2000. no tune.

thank you all for your help.

ive only experianced this once. and im sure you've probably checked i i found i tiny hole in the intake pipe just after the cooler... was fine cruising... hit the throttle and yeah feels like break boost then WACK and big jerk of the car.

replaced the silicone hose no problem from there on.

ill try that again, maybe i over looked something. also for an update i just drove the car after i did nothing...... lol and it hiccupped a few times and was maintaining boost, but i ran ass rich this time all the way through only hit 12.2 after the hiccup then back down to 9.9- 10.3. so im thinking of a few things i need to address.

Coils.... ive already ghetto taped mine hoping they wouldnt arch

AFM- but i would assume i would have a check engine light

or... i stilll dunno.

i will check the intercooler piping and change the silicone cupplers and get some propper t-bolts.

thanks again

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
