Please Help- Apparent Ecu Probs And Car Running Very Lean

[johnnysr33]

hey guys

really need some help recently took my car R33 series 2 gtst to all star garage in malaga to get a boost controller put in. the controller was put in and the car was put on the dyno but didnt get my dyno sheet anyways.. when i went to pick the car up he said that he hadnt boosted it past the stocl psi which is 7 because the engine will blow and he also tuned the time down?? dont know what he ment by that and apparently my car is now running slower than what it was when i bought it in. he also said that im running very lean and and that my computer is gonna die but i dont understand how the comp can f**k up when all ive done to the car is put a turbo back exhaust, BOV, and pod filter... any recomendations on a ecu i should use or if anyone knows whats going onnn.

thanks

if the car is running lean then there is an issue that isn't going to be caused by the stock ecu. i'd say that your fuel pump is on it's way out (or already gone by the sounds of it). i'd start by replacing the pump and the fuel filter (in case it's blocked) and then take it back and get it dyno'd again.

I just don't understand why they would spin such a story... AllStar are bloody excellent, why wouldn't they just say "something is up with the car mate, it's running lean so we have retarded the timing and kept the boost stock". Those guys are wizards with ECU's, why would they blame the ECU when it is a problem that i'm sure isn't being caused by the ECU?

that could've been what they actually said and if the OP isn't overly knowledgable he may have gotten confused.

thats the thing i dont understand i here all this great stuff about them and thats exactly what they said to me.. they said that my ecu is pretty much f**ked! and they also spun some shit about how r33's are the shittest skyline ever made blah blah.. my cuzns are good mates with nick and say if he dosnt know you hes a bit of a gypsey so dont know if thats the case.. but i do know what im talking about and i have told you word for word what he said dont no what the whole deal is with my ecu, ive never heard of anyone having ecu probs before with minimum work done to there car
