Ok. I just had a prick of a day trying to figure out what might've gone wrong with my 93 manual R33.

Modifications it got:

Z32 AFM

850cc high flowed injectors

FMIC

ATR43G3 turbo built by my self. (lol)

Full exhaust

EBC

Ok. The car was good ok after every thing's installed with a based map. The frist 2x runs were perfect and car managed a smooth 223rwkws at 10psi. Then it started to drop off and rumped back at full throttle. It kept on doing that for the rest of the day. Boost curve us early and straight, A/F is normal.

How ever It doesn't play up all the time on road. I'm wondering if any one had this issue before or know what this might be. Thanks.

Boost cruve at 15psi:

PS. I made a typo at the title. Its suppose to be Weird not wired.

could be a few things, its not the tuning. We just ran out of time and i could not diagnose it before we had to shut shop (prior arrangments) I reckon we will fit metal intake pipe and scope the crank angle sensor etc. Car has a history of electrical issues but hopefully Should be an easy fix.

Edited by URAS
assuming you checked base timing? were the knock readings significantly lower where the power dropped?

knock is not an issue as all timing maps had retard removed.

yer but if the cas is the issue and the drop in power is from a lot less timing than whats in the map then knock levels will be lower throughout that range too. doesnt have to be pinging to produce knock numbers, with the stock sensors anyway

its irrelevant either way. Im sure if we have more than 5mins to look at it we will have it sorted asap.

it must be something simple and electrical, I have the same housings on my R34. sure mine isn't holding booste yet either. But that is purely due to me refitting the stock actuator and the second it hit the set booste pressure it would open but wasnt strong enough to pull it self shut again when using some decent revs. Once my 14psi actuator is fitted and tuned it should be an absolute animal.

i would highly suggest any 1 planning to do a highflow to go for the new 0.60 housing that Stao has made up. In it's current state the second the car hits 4.5kRPM in second gear it wants to light 235x18's (good tyres). it didn't feel like that with the OP6 highflow.

Hey there, i had boost issues as well and i was just wondering, So if i changed my actuator... would my boost make a diffrence? because atm im running my greddy profec spec-B II and a stock actuator on hypergear highflow runing on 17.5 psi.

That is a sheet to show where the problem is. I'm sourcing information to fixthe car issue, so I could know what parts I need to replace and make life easier for Trent and my self next week.

I should've never bought a cheap crappy looking car and trusted the previous owner that its mechanically A1. end up spending the heaps of $$$$ fixing bits and pieces, and now this f*ken engine is knocking.

Here's the 226rwkws 10psi tune based on the same turbo on a healthy R33 if you like to see.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
