hey guys.... so i have had my car back for only a week or so... r33 s1 with all bolt on mods.. everything was fine until last night i went for a spin and in 2nd there is a problem... il try describe... basically what happens is once i start full boosting at about 4500rpm (15 pound) a milli second after this back fire occurs..but its not a back fire.. or a mis fire.. it sound like a bunch of air getting dumped somwhere and i loose a few psi but then regain it straight after..its like a backfire but with boost... i tried lowering the gain and boost on my profec b ebc but still the problem occours... but only in second.. all the other gears rev out perfect.. i thought it may have somethin to do with my ext. gate... but what could it be.. all gaskets are perfect.. the gate is not old at all.. like not even 5000kms could anyone please try throw some suggestions i would be very greatful for any input.. in terms of boost i have a t04e, ext. gate, greddy profec b...so yeah.. maybe a tuning issue... but it didnt do it until last night.. plus i have just put in new coilpacks aswell brand new... so that cant be it either.. i hope not..

thanks guys..

alex

what ecu? turn the boost way down until you get it fixed

if stock ecu -> you need a stand alone

if aftermarket -> look at getting in retuned, keep boost way down until you fix it

sounds like its detonating

i have a microtech lt12s... it got tuned like a week ago... and now i took it for a spin today and it didnt do it at all.. like perfect... when you say detonating... its not like pinging or anything like that... so what would be detonating?? car isnt blowing any smoke, not using any oil... so engine is healthy... when it did it , it almost feels like a cooler pipe popping off then being put back on in a second if ya know.....BLOOODY SKYLINE!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! I JUST REDID EVERYTHING ND NOW THIS.... FARK!!!!

thanks for your reply man..

i would check all ur cooler hose clamps just make sure everything is done up firm, nothing loose

i just put on big truck clamps and new silicon joins...absolutely no leaks what so ever... hmmm.. this one has me stumped.. it sometimes does it and other times doesnt... hmmm... it always seems to do it though if i pump 1st and into second...then it does it at about 5000rpm..... AAARRRGGGG!!!!!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
