Hey all i just installed a turbo-xs high performance manual boost controller into a R33 GTS-T (AUTO). as stock it was found to be at 4.5-5psi, now we boosted it to points between 6-11 psi and at high revs it was backfiring real bad, more backfiring when at higher boost like at 9-11psi. what the hell is the problem, is it that the computer is adjusting to higher boost? or do i need to reset my computer? or something else??? I have air filter pod, blitz dd blow off valve and a 2 1/4 all the way back with a 3 inch exhuast. the car did not used to back fire like this before hand, only sometimes when dropping from "D" to "2" at approx 75kmh.Help would be much appreciated as i need to fix this prob asap.

Thanks All.

should have done a search in the forced induction section on the word "MISFIRE" and you would have found that every R33 gets this.

the resolution is to take your spark plugs out, get a gapping tool and regap the spark plugs to 0.8mm (I am almost certain that your stock spark plugs woul dbe about 1.1mm)

Once you have done this, you will not have any more misfire problems with the new boost.

I have one other question though..

A standard R33 GTST runs 7psi as standard.. why was yours only on 5psi?

Are you judging the boost levels from the STOCK in dash boost guage or do you have an aftermarket one.

I ask this because of 2 things..

1.) the stock boost guage does not read in PSI.. it is in HG or something

2.) the stock boost guage is not VERY acurate at all.

If you haven't already done so, I would buy an aftermarket boost guage.. Even Autometer is fine if you are on a budget..

Until you have an aftermarket boost guage, I would take the boost controller off and leave the car's boost stock until you can modifiy it properly..

ALSO, it would be best if you installed and adjusted the boost pressure in COLD weather.

If you do it in the heat and you set it to 12psi, at night time, with the colder air, you will over boost to like 13-14 psi and MAYBE damage your turbo..

Stock 33 GTS25t's use a 5 psi wastegate actuator... The 7 psi is only achieved when the factory boost solenoid is opened... This is controlled by the ECU. If the solenoid is busted, unplugged or the ECU decides not to ground the circuit for any reason, you'll only get 5psi...

had the same prob r33 gts-t when i got it only had like 4-5 psi

fixed the plumbing on theboost controller and she works sweet now

had an intercooler fitted boosting like 11-13psi and 186rwkw

question i put 13psi on hold to like first sometimes second and then backs

off to like 11psi holding that all the way? is that my stock BOV making the prob

or stock dump pipe? or am i totally looking the wrong way?

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
