hi everyone i have a 1995 r33 gtst, only things done are an apexi filter, full 3'' turbo back (no cat), and a fmic, hks blow-off..... so car idles fine and cruises ok but once you start pushing on the gas pedal my afr's (its a narrow band) just start droppping, to as low as 10 to 1 and as soon as i hit 5 psi i hit fuel cut. So my buddy has nistune and we plugged his laptop into my car and watch what its doing and everything looks normal expect for my maf and injector which under any kind of load max out, so we thought the maf was defective and i sourced a compatible maf and install it.... no different, try removing the blow-off and installed the factory one..... no difference, checked all the piping for leaks.... all is tight and no leaks at present time.... has anyone one had this problem or something similar? the motor is a r33 series 2 motor.

I had an identical problem with my 33 a few years ago. Turned out to be a boost leak in one of the silicon hoses. Looked 4 times before i found it. It was a split located in a spot where I had to pull the pipe out to see it :verymad:

At what boost/prm is the afm hitting 5.1v?

it depends on the rpm its anywhere between 2-4k and i cant get pass 5 psi

like you said it could be a boost leak and it could be one of the silicon couplers i guess i could recheck them again, all the silicon couplers are new

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
