hi all,

I've been experiencing backfire when pressing on the accelerator with a bit more force than say normal driving. I've searched the threads on backfire and can't seem to find or think of anything that may be relating to my issue. Am going to change spark plugs and coilpack was changed by previous owner.

So this afternoon i experimented with turning off tcs and flooring it a bit. No backfire. Turn tcs on floor it around 4000'rpm a little backfire. Was wondering if anyone has any knowledge as to whether this could be linked? At times it feels as if I'm flooding the engine causing a mismatch in petrol and air? Possibly running rich? Any help would be appreciated.

no mods to injectors or fuel pump

Coil packs possibly or fuel pump possibly not operating at full potential ?

No expert but can't see how traction control would do anything unless it is and electrical issue and tcs is connected to the same system as whats at fault ?

Try to run the ecu for errors or hook up a consult cable and check the sensors etc

sounds to me like your TCS working. cutting the spark? and a bit of unburnt fuel burning once it hits the turbine blades. similar to hitting the limiter for a split second. sounds pretty normal to me but im no expert on '34s

yeh pudz thats what my theory was. It certainly feels like this is happening when I'm in the drivers

seat. But like you and I we're no experts. Hopefully someone out there cam shed some light on the situation.

I'm going to get around to changing these soon. So many ideas on what could be happening.

Have a quick check and see if the previous owner remove the TCS butterfly, it's only secured by two screws inside the throttle body. If it's not there, when the system kicks in you get some decent backfires as you get reduced fuel, but not reduced airflow.

yeh thats another way you could describe it. When i put my foot down it goes then feels like it holds back then bang backfire. I've been taking TCS off and everythings been fine so far. I can c how thw whole unburnt fuel entering exhaust and exploding can happen because it feels as if im planting my foot down and flooding the engine. Really need an opinion with fact behind it. I can only guess as to what is happenning.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
