Chucked a Turbo into my 1994 R33 GTS-T RB25DE.

Whenever I hit the boost at like 0.5bar for more than a second, the whole car jumps and the turbo drops out to -0.5

One friend said I need a new Fuel Pump that can handle the Turbo as the RB25DE Fuel Pump isn't giving it enough fuel.

Another friend says it's my Fuel Compression Ratio, what should my ratio be and how should I check it?

Any ideas?

(Spark Plugs and Coil Packs are fine)

What ECU are you running?

I'm not sure what ECU I'm running, I'm not as knowledgable as I probably should be about engines.

It wasn't actually me that installed the turbo, it was the previous owner, I'm not sure what modifications he made to it after putting in the turbo.

If it were me I'd be starting ground up.

Get a list of everything you know is in the car.

Then get a list of things you dont know about i.e. ECU etc etc

It will be easier to get help if you know whats what - as opposed to guessing.

But I would be taking it to your mechanic as it doesnt sound fuel related more electronics.

My 2 cents...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
