Hey guys,

I recently did a turbo upgrade and everything was fine for a couple of weeks (just a bit rich). Driving home from spectating Powercruise i was getting on the highway and when i pushed the throttle in, it gave a small pop and then started to miss under full throttle.

The car has a Stinger EMS ecu, GTR injectors, GTR fuel pump, Yellow Jacket Coil packs.

So far i have checked/cleaned the plugs (covered in carbon), Taped the coil packs, checked for vaccuum leaks, checked the fuel maps, used a multimeter on the ignitor (wouldnt read anything on ohms)

I have searched this forum and many others for possible causes and solutions and so far have come up with nothing.

Any help would be appreciated, even if you have a spare ignitor/AFM around Brisbane that i can test to rule some things out would be awesome.

Massive thanks to SIFTY32 for letting me test his ignitor and coil packs. Nothing changed when i put his on so that rules them out. I ran a data log on my ECU and when i had my foot to the floor with no load the TPS was jumping from 100 (full open) to around 70 - 80 (not full open). My thought process is that the TPS is telling the ECU that my foot isnt to the floor when it actually is.

Is there a decent way to test the TPS with a multimeter?

Do u have an aftermarket throttle body?

I have had 2 cars lately that have had freeplay between the tps and throttle shaft.

Use a multimeter between the Signal wire and the earth wire.

Should read around .5v closed and 4.5v open completely

standard throttle body. Used the multimeter on the 2 wire and got 1.9 ohms but when i started to move the throttle butterfly it made the multimeter turn off until it was returned to closed.

I changed it to V and got 1.0 on closed and again it turned off when it was opened

Ok, it seems my missfire has been solved by disconnecting my aftermarket water temp gauge from the 2 wire sensor.

Its running really well now with better fuel consumption and able to rev really easily.

Can anyone explain to me why the water temp sensor would cause such a massive issue with my car?

I never understand people that wire things in without researching.

Yes thet makes perfect sense as the coolant temp sensor is very sensitive to voltage. It even runs its own seperate sensor ground with only a few sensors like TPS and CAS.

Glad u found the issue

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
