Hey guys i just fitted FMIC to my r33 gtst but now when its starts comin onto boost it splutters for a bit and backfires (it makes a big bang) the only thing i could think off was the line from the wastegate that went to the standard intercooler pipe has no where to go now so i tried blocking it and it still does it can anyone help pls

Thanks in advance

its only got zorst, bov and now the fmic. ive adjusted the blow off valve its one of them turbo smart ones with the 2 trumpets.and seems better but im not 100% the police where out so i cldnt do to much and i blew one of the pipes off (scared the S#@t outta me sounded like a gun shot)

Ill take it to my mechanic 2morrow to get the nipple fitted at the moment ive blocked it does this mean that it will be +++++ boost

i also have a PFC but it hasnt been hooked up yet wld it hurt to hook that up and take it for a drive with the base map just to see what comes up?

thanks for the help :ph34r:

Your spluttering would've been because one of your clamps on a join wasn't done up properly, hence why it blew off. It would've been leaking out air under pressure, thus the car is adding fuel for XX amount of air, but only X is making it to the motor....thus overfueling.

And you need that hose that goes to the actuator to have a pressure signal, cos if you don't, the wastegate won't open.....

Hang on a minute guys...he is talking about a line from the waste gate that has no where to go!!!

The only line I can think of on the stock waste gate which just happens to be a VERY VERY IMPORTANT one...It is the actuator feedback line!!

Dood it sounds like you are hitting airflow cut because your waste gate is just not functioning at all because it is getting zero boost feedback. This is bad!! It is NOT a tuning issue, it is a functionality issue.

Dont drive your car like this (off boost is ok only if you have too). On boost you have a fair chance stuffing your turbo because atm the boost is not controlled...

You need to plumb that line back into anywhere between you compressor outlet and your throttle body...doesn't really matter where.

LOL... if it's a skyline and it backfires, it must be afm/spark/leak/coil related.

I wonder if other people actually read this part of his post..

the above = unlimited boost.

Stock ECU R33 with unlimited boost = cough, splutter, backfire at about 11psi (well apart from **RB3530** - his one is a little special)

I think you mean cough,splutter,bang as the exhaust wheel leaves the equation

It was a boost leak because a clamp/join wasn't properly fitted, that is why the pipe blew off.

The cough splutter backfire is from overfuelling because it's not receiving all the air that was metered.

But yes, the actuator line is an important one. Get a pressure signal to it asap to avoid turbo failure.

problem solved i got a nipple put on to the intake pipe for the actuator hose to go back on apparantly without that hose the car was basically running as much boost as it could lucky i didnt i didnt thrash it :blink:

Thanks for the help guys

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
