Hi guys have a r33 s2, when driving normally the car is fine it is not intill i hit boost the car stutters feels like lack of power as well. This is really concerning to me. Is it ok to still drive the car around without hitting boost. Im thinking it is a coil pack issue. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Is there any way of telling if the coil pack is the culprit by looking at it ie short circuit blown? cheers Jimps mods include, 3 inch cat back, boost controller 9psi, pod filter, bov

It happened to me when I have my GTR R33. Back then, the reason that my car sputters is because the fuel pump is getting too old. It wouldn't pump enough gas, so my car sputters. When I upgrade to the nismo fuel pump, the problem is gone!!!

Another problem might cause it is probably you have a vacumm leakage!! try to check the intercooler pipings. Spray some water/soap to check if there is a leakage!!

Hope it could help you!!

umm i bought the car with the BOV so when i had it the car was fine. fuel pump hey? how can i check that? so now it is down to 4 possible choices. 1) fuel pump 2) boost/vaccuum leak 3) spark plugs 4) coil packs.ill try to check out the vaccuum leak tommorow if thats not the case ill try new set of sparkies.cheers

just checked for vaccuum/ boost leaks couldnt find any?sometime this week will do spark plugs? what one do people reccomed for my mods? i have read other threads and a few people have used ngkbkr7e plugs. are these sufficient?

1. with the spark plug valley cover off, unplug the harness of each coilpack one by one, and see if the engine sound changes. if you come across one that doesn't change the engine sound then that coilpack may not be working efficiently.

2. try changing your spark plugs and see if they're fouled. i use NGK BKR7E myself and so do my friends. we haven't come across any problems.

3. from past experiences, running anything over ~10PSI for a prolonged time will cause the fuel pump to slowly die and get worse over time. this may also be the culprit of your stuttering problem but it could be one of many little things.

cheers,

dave.

hi dmr just checked that i took the harness off the coil packs one by one and they seemed to change noise ever single one of them. I can here a ticking sound could that possible be the coil packs shorting????Im still skeptical ill change the spark plugs because i dont know how long they have been in there for.ill keeps you guys/gals updatedcheers

I dont know if this helps but i had a similar prob with mine - if i accelerate the power seemed to plateau - and when hard on the pedal, it would shudder on boost... what it was for me was a combination of fuel regulator and fuel pump - both replaced which fixed it for me...

hope it helps

umm yeah it is sort of doing that what kind of fuel pump did you end up getting. Did you get a whole fuel pump assembly or the fuel pump itself?

i got a bosch fuel pump but dont remember what rating tho.. im pretty sure it was more to do with my fuel pressure regulator - which was found to be a non-turbo item that was installed by a idiot mechanic.. mind you, it was driving fine for few weeks until suddenly felt weird on boost...

hi guys just put ngk bkr7e spark plugs in the car seems to have fixed the problem. really happy now. Another quick question by taking the inlet manifold off would i need to re-adjust the boost T on the inlet pipe?

    • 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...
