Hi all

i purchased a new airbox for my rb25det http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...sid=p2759.l1259 i have installed it three times and every time its on the car the turbo dosnt want to come onto boost it trys but nothing happens the bov makes a muffled sound and the car just accelrates slowly but unwillinglly

very frustrated been working on it four 6 hours now i had to disconnect the black cannister near the air con condensor and remove the intercooler piping other than that everything is untouched.

thanks in advance

Is there any holes so the air filter can get air ? maybe you sealed it up so tight there is no air for it to suck ?

air filter pipe kinked at all ?

you see... this is why I carry on about using the stock air box.

look how much time/money you have spent.

How much it's giving you the shits.

and you've gone Backwards in performance in comparison to an exposed pod filter, and even further backwards compared to a stock air box.

there are at least 3 stock airbox with snorkle and panel filter for sale on these forums for an R33 GTST for $50.

If you must keep it, then I'd suggest removing the partition and going for another drive (how many hours to do that?).

if there are no problems high in the rev range, then you know that the partition is causing some sort of problem.

be it not enough air due to no cai (Cold Air Induction) or perhaps it is too tight around the rubber intake pipe that goes from pod to turbo and is actually crimping it a little causing a restriction in air.

perhaps due to no air feed (cai), the rubber pipe between turbo and pod is being sucked closed..

who knows..

so what are you going to do?

spend another x hours to diagnose and possibly fix it but still be left with a system that has no air feed?

or spend less time and $50 to get the stock air box and sort it out properly.

thanks guys im going to go to stock air box and see what happens it came with the pod when i bought it all i was trying to do is keep the hot air from the motor, away from the intake seemed simple enough (sigh) hopefully nothings been changed in there to stop it fitting

fast responses support is fantastic here

wen i get my car back ill show u out it should be set up properly, you should always stick to the OEM airbox unless you can supply a proper CAI(cold air intake) for your enclosed POD, otherwise its either A) sucking hot air which is useless or B) sucking no air cuz theres no air feed.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
