Hey guys, i have R33 gtst 95 model, rb25det engine, anyway car is basicly stock turbo, stock computer, has 3" turbo back exhuast, greddy fmic, avcr b/c, split fire coilpacks, walbro 255L fuel pump installed, now if im travelling along at 60km/h drop it back to 3rd or 2nd and flatten it, goes through the rev range fine until it gets to 5000rpm then it feels like it drops off power until about 6000 rpm then comes on full power again until redline at 7200rpm, now i dont know much about the avcr i have it set up on self learn mode, i have been told that its not the best way to run it, but i just got it set up so it goes to all stars and left it so it was safe, running 10psi which is about right with what a standard car would run with ungraded exhaust on it. still does has this problem at that boost. any ideas??

Cheers

Daz

my car does this aswell

but mine is a r34 gtt auto and doesnt have the mods you do, pretty much stock.

revs up smoothly till it gets to about 5k

although depends what gear its in. 1st and 2nd gear revs all the way smoothly. this happens in 3rd and 4th

also curious to find out what causes this...

plugs are gapped down to 0.8mm, unless they have opened up in the last 3000km since i changed them at my last service, and also

The R+R thing seems to be what its doing, but on the avcr it wont drop boost below 10psi coz that's what it runs standard now with the exhaust and extra flow. i have got it running pretty much the lowest boost it will with the standard wastegate.

Either get a safc II as a cheap fix so you can trick the AFM readings so it won't drop in to R&R, or go the half hog and get a piggy back ECU or go the full hog and get a replacement ECU and get it tuned.

Getting it tuned will change the way you car feels. It's worth the dosh

I have a power fc sitting here ready to go in, but was going to wait till i got bigger turbo and injectors first. so dont wanna get it tuned yet. the thing is it never really did this before i had fmic and avcr and fuel pump installed, so its gotta be one of these things that are causing it to do that.

Yes, well a tune will fix your problem though. Your standard ECU is having trouble trying to manage all these new changes you've added to the car, its freaking out and trying to play it safe at the expense of your fuel and performance.

i have the same problem on my r34 neo gtt b4 but mine is totally stock in the hood but same with you its cutting from 5k -6k then goes smooth from there. my problem was the spacings on my plugs, when me and tony took it out and put new 1's in with the .8 spacings problems went away.

thanx for that. i will be replacing the plugs again soon. so il post in here if its fixes the problem. i actually have coppers in there at the moment and gapped them down to 0.8 , they have only been in for 3000KM but i will put the iridiums back in maybe this weekend, see if its changes it at all. the gaps on the coppers might have opened up in that 3000KM and could be causing the problems.

noob question but how do you "gap" them?

well, when u buy plugs they come with a different gap sizings between where the tip of the plug is where it arks to, you have to get some feeler gauges, which come in different size gaps you put them in between where the tip is and where it arks out on the plug and tap the plug gently against a bench or something so that the gap will decrese in size to the size of the gauge. that makes it easier for the spark to travel across the distance bcoz its not as far for the spark to travel. normal copper plugs u buy are usually about 1.1mm gap, the iridiums are already gapped down to a 0.8mm so you shouldnt need to touch them.

Well you can buy them pre gapped. Iridiums do come as a 1.1mm. So if you want .8's you buy .8's, if you want 1.1's you buy 1.1's.

yeah u are right i think. lol but i really have never bought 1.1 for my car in iridiums, not really worth it in turbo cars.

yeah I bought 1.1's for mine and haven't experienced a problem with them. But for everybody else, may as well just cut the crap and go for .8's. Spark plug gap arguments are another topic by itself so I won't raise it in here :P

Well today i got to and managed to change the plugs back to my iridiums from the coppers i had in there gapped down to 0.8, and now that the iridiums have been sandblasted and cleaned by me at work, there like new again, and work great. rev's all the way through the rev range now without hesitation, cheers guys, i had a feeling it might have somehting to do with the copper plugs. but seriously they were only in for 3000km and the gaps must have increased or something, i thought they woudl have atleast lasted the 5000km but turns out they didnt, but they plugs werent that dirty either.

I had the exact same problem in my 33. The car feels like it bogs down in that rpm range (feels like going through wet sand or something), so i purcahsed power fc, got it tuned and it now runs great, pulls hard all the way to redline!!! Your pretty lucky that it was plugs, it wouldve saved me a lot of money if it was the problem with mine!!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
