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.

Hey guys...remember me? :P

wasnt the turbo...it was infact...a god damn cracked piston. 7grand later.....sigh

on the plus side. since I had the engine out...I went all out.

port and polish

overbored

ngk spark plugs

high end metal gasket

high flow garret turbocharger

new ecu

wiseco forged pistons

running 18psi boost

my mechanic thinks it will pump over 350kw at the wheels. getting it dyno tuned tomorrow with vid :)

will update tomorrow tomorrow.

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

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
