My r33 last night started to play up just after hitting boost

id rev it up to around 4500 and change gear

and upon this the engine would would cut off, power steering turns off

and 4 dash lights come on

it kept doing this whenever i hit boost

if i didnt hit boost and shift before it did, the car drove fine

tried again this morning and the boost came on fine (bit off a boost leak but fine)

took it to my mechanic and it was how i drove it this morning

he had a quick look over and found the afm lookd dodgy (been resealed with silicon, the pcv valve that attaches to rocker cover had its grommet broken

and also the bov it stock but has been blocked off)

as i have a spare afm and rest arent big repairs ill get this soon

but if anyone has ideas to whats happening above (with the engine cutting off when hitting boost)

let me know

thanks

sorry as above i know i have included as much info as i should

whatever you want to know

let me know

ok standard ecu, 7 psi

after searching the forum thats my first though although was told that r&r wouldnt really cut out the engine (like it would still come back)

also most of examples of people with this forum wasnt on 7 psi

as for mods to vehicle

just exhaust, cai and pod filter and fmic

just changed the afm

havnt yet tested the car

but found the following differences on idle

before when i moved the afm and piping the car changed its tone or idle, now it stays the same

also before when i unpluged the afm the car took a few seconds to die

now it dies straight away (which im told is normal)

on another note

proabably wrong place to ask but wheres the best place to buy the piping for the bov - and the grommet for the pvc valve

Im getting a feeling your fuel pump might be on its way out? Im guessing its a stock pump? May not be delivering the fuel fast enough, then when changing gears there is no fuel in the line? Just a stab in the dark.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
