1st question.....ok so my car drives normally then all of a sudden the car automatically revs the shit out of the car and hits 8rpm and doesn't stop so i pull over and turn the engine off and start again sometimes it starts normally other times revs to 5-6 by itself? wtf i blew my turbo last week and had plastic shit/little black pieces in the afm so cleaned it all out with air compressor and looked fine could my afm shit it self? this only happened after i blew the turbo. (and the afm was located on the intercooler piping now have changed it back to stock with a pod)...help please

running fuel pump, fmic, pod, r32 turbo with hks actuator at 12 psi, full 3inch exhaust

2nd question......i had a remap computer mods were fuel pump, fmic, boost tee 13, pod, r33 turbo, full 3inch exhaust,

now since i blew my r33 turbo and i put my r32 turbo back on can i still run the remap computer?

i know its better to get a tune but dr drift was booked out and other places.

and winton is this Sunday so need answers asap

3rd Question......i have a z32 afm can i unstall it with the remap computer and not have any problems (as in no need for a tune?)

cheers guys

As the throttle is cable driven, one might assume it relates to that somehow, as with the throttle closed the engine wouldnt be able to rev to 8k. I'd check to see if the butterfly is sticking open or that the linkages are not tight.

You can run the remap computer, but it might not run right, and might not be good for the engine. Best get it retuned.

I doubt you can remove the z32 afm without a retune, it might run as per question 2, but it might be bad for the engine or not work at all

you can run the car with the stock turbo and the remap suited for the r33 turbo but it will run rich. apart from that it will be fine.

you can not remove the z32 and put the stock one back on. it would start but be un drivable ;)

Did I do the remap for you?

cheers!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?
