Hi all,

I have an R33 GTS-t with the following work done. 3inch turbo back exhaust, K&N pod, r34 GT-T cooler.

I have done the following service items

- timing belt, tensioners, seals

- new plugs bcpres-11 (gapped to 0.9)

- cleaned AFM (several times)

- cleaned all induction piping

- new o2 sensor

- cleaned AAC valve

- oils etc

Now the car usually runs really well

Recently it has developed what can only be described as R&R mode however the car is on stock boost (as confirmed by an aftermarket boost gauge) Interestingly the car also maintains 7psi at full throttle even though everyone isists it should spike higher with these mods...

I assumed I had an over sensitive ECU and it was hitting R&R due increased airflow.

That was until someone suggested it might be sensing detonation and going into a conservative fuel map. This scared me!

So I will check that the knock sensors are connected (a problem that I read during a serch that caused this)

Just on the odd occassion the car will start fine (first start in the morning) then stall, and yes I gave it time to prime. The car will then start normally.

What would cause this? Fuel Pump? Dead AFM? Would it be anything that would cause my strange R&R at standard boost problem?

Now if it is fuel pumps can someone suggest the part number for the common recommended pumps (bosch, walbro, tomei etc) their part numbers for the ones that bolt in, no mods required. Looking for capacity to run about 10-12 psi tuned with the above mods. Also would appreciate any recommended places in melb for getting these at a good price

Thanks!

Heres the tomei fuel pump for a r33 gtst on nengun. http://www.nengun.com/tomei/fuel-pump-niss...yline-r33-gts-t I bought one after i ditched my walbro, when i thought it may of been causing problems, they are pretty easy to install but a bit of overkill for what you want. A bosch 040 is easy enough to install and roughly about half the price.

What boost gauge are you using?? mine was getting a couple extra psi after i installed a full exhaust and was getting a little extra at night. Im not sure if it went into R&R if it would cause less boost?? Unless it was stupidly rich.

it just feels flat, no missfire no pop crackles, nothing. Its smooth as silk. However its down on power. When I reset the ecu the other day it went back to its normal self and was gre4at but by the following night it was 'flat' again. So just chasing the fault.

I just have a calibre digital boost gauge. shows 5 to 4500rpm then 7 so seems accurate, the car just isnt spiking. Not sure if the car stays in R&R mode once it happens or if it resets after you shut the car off?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...

      But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.

      Wow. Pissy much? You on a mission to find old posts to argue with, or is this legitimately just because you're 5 years into a 1 day job?
