hey guys..

i have an r33 s1 gtst with the rb25det in it.. the car has an apexi n1 exhaust, frontmount cooler done by plazmaman, splitfire coil packs and an apexi avcr which just died (havnt worked out why yet but happened after the car got these next problems).. it has recently developed a problem out of nowhere and is running really rich i think (black crap all ova back of the car that it never used to get) but it will not boost properly, it hesitates badly or just cuts out altogether untill i let my foot back off the gas and is slowly getting worse, now it is gettin hard to drive off boost and its even starting to idle funny..

can anyone please help i dnt want to pay a performance shop if i can help it..

thats what i thought also but can seem to visually find any loose piping or worn silicone joins or clamps, it does get up on boost sometimes but its very hard to get it there.. may have a try at presurising it tomos and see how that goes..

just took it for a drive then and after i try give it a bit of gas and back off throttle while getting on the clutch it wants to stall and sometimes does stall.. and its still idleing very rough

any other ideas anyone

once pressurized, spray some carby cleaner or soapy water on the joints

if your running an atmo bov, make sure that the return is still blanked off, could have come loose or popped out

ok so i pressurised the pipe work and no leaks.. disconnected all the avcr gear and its a bit better n standard boost but is still really laggy!!

any other help would be great tryin to fix it all up be4 my sisters formal next week

few years back mine started running rough under decel and accel and black soot over the ass end but ran sweet when cruising. ended up being a cracked CAS bracket and timing was out.

+ 1

had a broken cas bracket on my 32

how much pressure did you put in the pipng?

other possibility is the AFM is dodgy

hey mate i just held it on for like a min and its a big compressor that runs my whole shop i assume the pressure was really high tho..

i swapped the coolant temp sensor and it seems to be running fine all the way through the revs @ 5psi but as soon as i switch it to 9psi it boosts up and then cuts just as the guage hits 9psi.. any chance it may be a dodgy stock fuel pressure regulator or even a tired fuel pump

CAS is on the front of the motor. round thing with 3 10mm bolts holding it on that when loosened allow you to turn it sideways a little bit (to adjust the timing). has a plug with a few wires in it coming out the side.

could possibly be a fuel pressure issue, but i don't really think so

going to ask a stupid question, but you aren't using the stock gauge as your only boost gauge are you? it you are then that is the reason why you are having issues. it doesn't read in PSI, so what you think is 9psi is a buttload higher. about 18psi in fact, and any issues you are having is the ECU going into it's protection mode.

na mate using an aftermarket guage one on the dash is disconnected.. and the cas appears to be fine.. i am starting to stress out cos i cant figure it out lol and being on the coast i dont know what shop i can take it too.. i did take my cars to the throttle shop at gosford but they are gone now

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
