today i installed a turbosmart boost tee to my r33 which has stock ecu, and i adjusted itand it was running fine on 12 psi then suddenly after a few hours when i put my foot down and boost reaches max the car starts to jerk and not feel smooth it oonlhy happens on full boost. so i put back the stock boost soloinoid and its still doing it andnow im realy confused since i have not changed anything else any ideas?

The reason why that is happening is because your:

Coil packs

Spark plugs gapped to 1.1 or 0.8mm

Stock ECU

Rich & Retard

Boosting over 12 psi is when your car starts going crazy! Because of the MASS airflow coming it it will cause this to happend.

since it occured after fitting my boost tee im guessing its Rand R but it doenst go away when im running stock solonoid now is there something i have to do to get rid of the R and R, i reset the ecu aswel

i have the same problem but mine loses power between around 4k rpm to 6k rpm. makes a popping sound like the fuel isnt being ignited at the right time due to spark plugs or coils so ill be taping my coils and putting in platinum sparkys regapped to 0.8 to overcome this. ive heard R&R only kicks in over 14psi so i suggest going with the sparks and taping coils first. im guessing it does this because the old plugs arent gapped for such a rush in fuel.

yeah i understand all this but the question is that my car was running fine before on 10psi with solonoid and now after the boost controller ive revereted to the solonoid it doesnt run with it so how could the plugs be an issue if they were running as they were before with the solonoid

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
