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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
