Hi, ive had this problem on my car for the last 3 months and havent driven it because of this.... its a new engine and when i first dropped it in ( 4 months ago) it used to have alot of umfff even if i tapped the pedal in 4th gear u used to feel it.. now.. it just sits there.. if i put my foot down it goes alrite to about 4 and then just sits at 4k rpm and just feels liek it wants to due but if i do half throttle it will rev higher.. it just feels liek its back burning like sputtering.. btw its a rb25 r33 i have changed afm, new coilpacks, new spark plugs, new fuel pump, new ignitor module, new coilpack loom and thats about it.. i couldnt think ov it being anything else. need help please

did it start doing these things before or after changing these things? Im assuming you have a S1 if you replaced the external ign. module, did u get the right AFM (S1 & 2 are diff). Whats the gap on your plugs etc.

lol yep, my mate has a s1 also so i just swapped every part in the fuel delivery system. except for the fuel filter which i'm swapping over tonight and the o2 sensor which i will also do tonight. apart from that im all out of ideas and beginning to think its the engine.. um i duno what gap the plugs are.. i just wound them down. and also thinking mayb a blocked cat.. just eliminating things one by one

um its got a highflow turbo, with a r32 stock actuator so 10psi boost, split dump pipe + 3.5 inch exhasut, cooler pod filter, and thats about it, it used 2 pull reall reall hard but now i cnt even get it over 4k rpm under full load.. the o2 sensor is farked i think also.. coz the wires are liek electrical taped 2gether so i'll see if thats the problem later tonight

but it used to run beautifully and then one day something happened and its doing this now.. mayb not 10psi but 7psi..because it could be a r33 actuator i'm pretty sure it is because it would hit r & r..

the stock turbo at 10 psi on an RB25 makes it hit r&r.

a highflow turbo with the same boost will be even worse.

The sparkies might help but in reality, some sort of tuning is required.

had similar issues with my 32, rb26det, when we changed the turbo to a garrett 3582 external it was out flowing the stock afm and would start spluttering as the injectors went full duty. it would be okay till about 3500 4000 rpm then would run like dogs balls.

we lenghthened the intake pipe from turbo to afm, changed the afm to a z32 and had a fitting for the recirc valve plumbed to it facing directly back into the impeler on the turbo and solved the issue.

you should at least get on a rolling road and get it tuned properly. it was worth it in my case anyway.

i jsut took the car for a quick spin now... i noticed a few other problems..

after a few minutes of driving the the hicas starts playing up and goes on and off repeatedly and the steering is fkt.. also car wont rev above 2k and it seems liek all power it lost and then just dies off by itself.... oh and also the lights start flickering and the rev gauge goes up and down and flickers this is just before the car turns off.

sounds like a bucket of shit. lol..

so all this started happening after the new engine went in?

go back to where you got the engine put in.

if you put it in yourself, it is now time to go to a place that knows skylines.

some things are better left to the experts.

I would try dropping the cat, check fuel flow/pressure, easiest way is to stick it on a dyno, but to make the most of your setup, your eventually going to really need to get same management. Is it running 10 or 7 psi, it makes a big difference to diagnosing the problem. When it seems to stop, does the boost gauge (im assuming you have one) drop into vacuum, or stay in boost.

yeah i did drop it in myself.. the funny thing iz it was working sick for a while but now not so good lol, i'm lookin for a place to take it now.. if anyone is from melbourne do you know or recomend any places that is good value and know there skylines.. i'm in sandringham

or you could try RE Customs in westall/springy..

A strange idea for something to check as everything is turning on and off, is your alternator in good condition? I only say that as i have experienced similar probs in cars before which turned out to be that!.. Just a thought seeings engines have been changed etc..

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
