Hi guys,

Recently i've been encountering a few issues with my 97 r33. When pulling up to a light or coming to a stop (or even jst idling for that matter) my cars rpm fluctuates up and down ever so slightly. Sometimes the rpm dips to low enough and the engine cuts off. The problem appears to be getting worse. Now the car feels jerky and sluggish to drive. Also the cars eats a lot more fuel too if that helps. Please help! :(

Thnx, Simon

The car also stalls VERY easily when driving around parking lots!

I have the same problem with my r32 I've been told that it can be coz of the BOV I also have problems when the car is dead cold (first start up) is hard to start and have to use throttle to get it to idle once it is going tho its all good could this be connected ??

that could be your tune^^^ i.e. never tuned for cold start.

Simon, i defintatly say its your BOV's, particualy if you are runing a/m atmo with afm's (no map tune). Stock BOV's are the best anyhow. There are usually a few GTR (compatible with the gtst) ones floating in the classified for ~$50.

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
