Hi, was after a few ideas of things to check with my r33, the problem is soon as it starts boosting up it missfires to the point it just doesn't run, just coughs and splutters, this happens at about 4 psi, as soon as i back off runs perfect. Things i have tried to do to rectify the fault is change, ecu, spark plugs (all came out totally black), afm, cas, ignition relays checked, igniter (the earth seems good too, I asume its the one that goes under one of the coil holding frame bolts), JJR coils went in about a week before this happened aswell. I haven't yet pressurised the system to check for air leaks yet but all the cooler pipes seem well sealed.

cheers

im having same problem aye, did urs start doing it suddenly? me mate put 95octane in his skyline and the thing just startn to get worse and worse missing, we changed the plugs and fuel filter but thinking mayb the injectors are screwed

dont know anyone else with a 33, but i chucked the old coils back in and the problem is still there

plugs are bcpr6es

hook it into the fuel rail if its a standard pump at idle it should see around 40psi if this is the case then its alright but under load if it doesnt make anymore than that I would think your fuel pump would be dead.

i put in a walbro a few months back and when it primes it sounds strong but i will still check it, how did you look at the gauge under load, i will have to get my little brother to sit on the engine while i boost down the road.

after lots of stuffing around ended up buying a supercheap aircompressor to check for boost leaks and found a massive one so problem solved!!

it was where my first pipe off the intercooler joined with the crossover pipe just after it goes though the engine bay wall if that makes sense, it was joined with a silicone joiner it appeared as if it was perfectly sealed but the clamp was done up right on the edge of the metal pipe inside with a bit of air pressure it leaked like a siv. I'm a bit annoyed at myself that I didn't check the hoses more closely the first second and third time that i did it. Would of saved alot of stuffing around.

a picture speaks a thousand words so they say

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
