hey just a quick question, a mate of mines has a r33 with aftermarket turbo, intercooler, exhaust, computer, 800hp fuel pump and lately its started to run rough, he had to put 95octane fuel in it the other day and thats when the probs started, weve changed the fuel filter and plugs but still when it stars to boost it starts sttuering like its havin fuel surge and backfiring, has any one else had similar problem? what should we check next? injectors or coils??? cheers

thats exactly what my car is doing right now

it did it when i had my old 2 litre in it and i swapped in a neo and it still does it

the only things that are the same are the fuel pump,which i changed,the boost controller which i am changing tomorrow,and the maf.

so my guess is that the boost controller or the afm is not working properly,because it only happens under boost.

so try checking the boost controller and the maf

i will update if this thread when i figure the problem out,but i am fairly certain it is my old shitty manual boost controller sticking.

cheers!

yeh its got aftermarket ecu and recently had full tune by imports101, could it be a problem with the stock injectors? its my mates car, me and him both had to fill his skyline up and my ss up with 95octane wich our cars dont run too good on, after that i had similar probs with the ss but i changed the plugs and and me valkve springs at the same time n it came all good but the skyline just gettin worse

when you changed the plugs in the skyline, what plugs did you use?

and what gap?

May be a stupid question but have you got rid of the 95 fuel yet?

if not, maybe buy a bottle of good octane booster and dump that in the tank with the 95.. it should bring it's rating back up to 98 or so.

we didnt check the gap we just got some new ngk ones from repco and just assumed the gap would be fine, yeh we drained the fuel and ran injector clean through the engine and now are runnin it on 98octane ith octane booster,

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
