Does Any One Know Somthing About My Problem


Recommended Posts

Hi

i have a 1996 r33 series 2 Gts-t and i have had some problems with it after i had the following dump/front pipe and a tune done by a workshop. I took my car out and after hitting high revs then backing off the accelerator suddenly my cars idle droppes below 500 and fluctuated and the engine shakes and It seems that my car is using more fuel then it used to HELP!!!!.

So i tried to see if i could fix the problem. .. I changed to a high flow fuel pump, changed the fuel filter,installed yellow jacket coils and plugs and air flow meter was changed and even the ecu was changed but still same problem.. after all this i took my car to a skyline mechanic and he still could not find the problem :angry: can someone please help me I've spend nearly thousands of dollars trying to sort this problem out but it seems its a mystery

BTW the car runs Ok at low revs but once you hit high revs the car begins to play up.

Mods

FMIC

Full Turbo Exhaust System

High Flow Fuel Pump

Standard Ecu

Yellow Coil Pack

Boost Controller (10psi)

Cheers

How could they tune your ecu if its standard? Unless you have the Nistune board added to it.

As for your problem it could be: Worn CAS, Air leaks on intake side.

Can't really think of anything else at the moment.

you are probably seeing over 10psi and going into rich and retard mode.

your ecu will be retarding the timing majorly as the stock setup is not designed to take 10+psi

some cars do it at 10psi, some at 12, etc etc

but it's always around 10

try dropping the boost and seeing what happens

also what kind of a "tune" did the workshop say they gave you with a stock ecu?

My question is, if the car start exhibiting these symptoms after you modified it...why on earth did you go replacing everything else in the engine bay instead of checking what you just changed about the engine? Should have taken it straight back.

Could be the wastegate not opening up enough = R&R mode. If it's one of those el cheapo split pipe dumps, welcome to the world of rich and retard. Disconnect the actuator arm from the wastegate periscope and see how much movement there is for the flap...it should be able to open a full 90 degrees, if not more.

You would have to be a retard to rebuild the whole engine when it may have been an electrical fault and spending thousands rebuilding the engine may not solve the problem.

If you want to do the throw-money-at-it-until-the-problem-goes-away solution, buy a half cut or a long motor for $1500 and transplant everything.

i suggest calling my friend henry and see him about it he helped me heaps with my car say i sent you, Bruno, Cosmic performance 0422 117 168

if not try to change 02sensor 120 at BURSONS its located near your turbo kind of sparkplug sticking out looking thingy lol, if not goto this guy he may help you

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
