Hello people

I have a few dramas with my nissan Skyline 1993 R33 GTSt. Only mods it has are hi flo turbo, intercooler, exhaust, boost gauge, sgl stage boost controller, spit-fire coils and turbo timer.

All was going well except for a hesitation problem at about 2-3 revs. Not under much load but was very consistant, then when i pull up the car would idle like a dog and nearly cut out. I thought it was the spitfire coils and was going to get it checked out tomorrow. But first i thought i would wash the engine bay. I did and drove off without any other problems other than the initial hesitation one. About 10km of driving the car just cut out and would not start again. It turns over but doesnt start. I thought i got water in the plugs so i took it apart and dried out the plugs and coil stems. Put it all back together and still the car wont start.

I apologise for the long post but thought all info would be good.

Thanks for the help and advise and will let you know when it gets going again.

Cheers

Wes

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
