I got my r33 tuned, it currently has a haltech intercepter and high flow turbo that gcg have told me can run 20psi no problems.

My tuner (who is a bit of a muppet)tuned my car at 12psi, because he said the extra few kw wasn't worth it for the extra pressure. He told me he ran it at 20psi and it ran fine and didn't lean out. So after i got the car back i pushed the boost up to see how it would go. At 15psi it really halls and feels like a different car compared to 12psi. I tryed to push it more to 17psi and it started popping out the exhaust and it also had a bad missfire (the car just completely cut for a second) as i was reving the gear out. It also blew off one of the vac lines, so i had to stop and put that back on. I got it back to 15 psi and it's happy. The thing i want to know is what might have caused the popping and missfire, and once your car is tuned, The fuel maps modified and the timing is advanced as much as possiable, How can you get more power out of it?

Yeh my guess is the coils... thats alot of boost to be running for stock ones..

If i run more than 14psi then mine misfires like that and thats with a 0.8mm gap on the plugs.

Id just stick with 15psi if it makes the car run nicely...

Splitfires with 1.1mm gap works even better!

Here's a question for you to think about...

You pushed the car to 17PSi, and mis fires like mad...

Yet your tuner told you it ran fine at 20PSi... Have you not yet thought he hasn't really tuned the car at all?

Get the car on the dyno, do some light load testing, then some full throttle runs. You need to check your AFRs

Yea im gonna ask for the dyno sheets for the 20psi runs on monday. i can run 13.2psi and it will rev out cleanly with no problems. But anything over that and as it gets up in the revs it will just cut out for a second and the whole car jurks.( im guessign thats a missfire?)

hey there,

my gtr does the same thing, i had a wrx with a link computer, gtr with a power fc, now running a G4 link, when summer comes it starts to run rich, backfires, popping, maybe just check your pugs and see if they are fouled?

my car does the same and i haven't been able to find anyone that knows the problem so thanks for the info, and whats the best to replace the standard ones with. Also do you have to change anything else or just put them in, the problem is so annoying especially underground car parks pops like a b***H.

Cheers scott

Gotta love this. I called the place that tuned my car and asked for the 20psi dyno sheets. he said that the runs weren't sucessful and that he didn't save the runs.... Now how could he tell me that it ran 20psi and the mixtures were fine??? God this place is getting worse and worse.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
