Hey guys im new here :no:

just a quick question. my r33 gtst is blowing a lot of white smoke. it would literately fill my whole street full of smoke.

I have taken it to ultratune and they have done a compression and leak test and it came back ok. they are learning more towards a turbo issue. but they are still unsure.

is this a common thing for skylines?

if it is indeed a turbo issue they are going to upgrade to a high flow garret turbo, which leads me to my next question. how much power is this thing going to output once its installed?

specs of car

Front mount intercooler

pod air fillter

full hks exhaust

boost controller

and the garret high flow turbo.

thanks guys.

lol

seems like youve done ur bpu , so OBVIOUSLY depending on how many pounds you are running , id say anywhere from 200 - 230rwkw. youd also need to get a tune though to get this kind of power safely

Yes white smoke is usually a turbo issue if its a large amount of white smoke and the compression test came out ok.

so any more info on the turbo? might be a good idea to do some research on here before you spend that much coin.

every turbo will have a different result and will make the car perform very differently

Hey buddy

Its my standard turbo high flowed with garret internals. cost me $1500

still need it tuned on the dyno. not sure if I need a new ecu? cant really afford anything after spending 8grand :(

I just hope my mechanic wasnt taking me for a ride. just seems so exsessive...I mean, 8 grand? :(

drove the car all weekend to run in the new pistons. didn't boost hard, but I can already feel the car is alot more punchier and responsive.

will update soon. any advice is appreciated guys :)

My mechanic said he is going to try his best to tune it with the stock ecu. he said the car is still going to be pretty quick as it is. he is a professional drag racer so Id like to think I can trust him. he seems like an awesome guy though.

will save up for ecu later down the track

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
