Anxious

[gtstdribbler]

Hi Guys,

I bought a 95 r33 gts-t s1 about a month ago. Everything is pretty much stock on the car except for the 3" exhaust, boost controller, air intake and dump pipe

The thing is, when I got the car, it was running perfect then I got a little too gready and pumped the boost controller up. I ended up blowing the plugs. I took it to the mechanics next door where I work and he fitted some dodgy ones that were misfiring badly. From previous threads I learnt that the gaps were too big. So I brought it back and the damn mechanic checked the fuel pressure as well as reduced the boost way down.

The car kept misfiring and I kept insisting for the plugs to be regapped. Today, while I was driving I noticed that the engine sounded lke it was under tremendous load, sort of high turbulence noise. The boost is really week, and there is practically nothing from the blow-off valve. It consumes too much fuel. nearly 3/4 tank over 80 kms.

The car has also lost tremendous amount of power. It lags everytime I put my foot on the throttle. I tried to inspect what was going on under the hood. I noticed a little oil stain near the intake.

I have spent the last 6 hours goin through turbo leaks, coil failure, afm failures and many others.

I am really nervous. I have booked an appointment with SHIFT performance to have a look at the car on Tuesday.

The thing is I am extremely anxious and worried. Has anyone experienced similar troubles. What should I do? Is it going to be costly?

I appologize if there are any similar posts. Help, Please!

Sure the exhaust wheel is still on the turbo?

Bits of ceramic in the cat converter if it's indeed lost the wheel

Now when you say you got greedy and turned up the boost..... exactly how much psi were you running?

And the blown spark plugs, what do you mean? EDIT: Did they actually come out of the head
