Stock r33 and it splutters


Recommended Posts

Guest IHaveAnR33

i would love to go full engine management system, but too costly for now... i just want to get the car running smooth on standard boost. the boost restrictor has a couple of wires connected to it i never disconnected them just disconnect the hoses. should i disconnect the wires as well?

Dood please dont read some threads on this forum and then start to fiddle with things. After you read somethign interestingl ike a free boost increase and you are really excited about the MORE BOOST aspect that most owners are into. Then first try and find more threads on how all the different parts work that are involved in causing the car to boost etc. then you can do what you like and you will have a fairly good idea about what damage you can cause.

It sounds like you are grasping for cheap mods to do. DONT unless you are sure.

SAFC took me about 1 hour to install. and then i counted 1 wire incorrectly and the car wouldnt start. took me a further hour to find and fix that.

so yeah workshop is your friend in your case, but if you got plenty of time and passed year 2 maths (unlike me) it wont be a problem to install.

peace

Your R33 only uses coil packs.

For the spluttering issues, it will either be spark plugs or that a coil pack will be faulty, which will cause a misfire.

Please don't start pulling random hoses and such off the wastegate actuator without properly regulating the pressure, unless you would like stuff to start breaking?

The stock fuel system will run very rich so there is no need to worry about underfuelling, if anything get it tuned with an SAFC (or any decent piggyback or complete ECU replacement) like GTS-t VSPEC suggests.

It is all tuning.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
