Hi guys I just fitted a bigger dump pipe to my R33 and the dump has a split pipe on it, so on high boost the the car feels like the power hits then stops then hits again and stops like it is choaking or something any ideas on this problem!

standard boost is fine but highboost is running like a dog! this wasn't doing this before I placed the new dump pipe on the car.

any help with this problem would be great!

maybe your o2 sensor?? that would have been bolted into your old dump, maybe it got damaged during the move??

Cars dont give two shits about o2 at full load.

Id say now your flowing more your hitting the standard 4800-5000rpm ECU flatspot. ECU see's too much airflow gets a little worried and pulls the timing back pretty severly. If it is that then there is no way to fix short of putting a new ECU in.

Sounds pretty much like compressor surge. The new dump pipe is allowing the engine to exhale lots of gas. As a result, it wants to inhale more air, but the turbo is inefficient at the (higher) boost levels you are running - on low boost, the turbo is still within its efficiency range.

I don't know if I'm helping or hindering by posting in this thread but a mechanic thought mine was hitting boost cut but later said it wasn't. Dyno graph says it's not. Timing might be being pulled (my opinion) or I need a bigger intercooler (his opinion).

ps feel free to tell me shut up if I'm just confusing things.

I believe there are 2 seperate things that the 33 ECU does

1. Is when there is excessive airflow it retards the timing and increases fuel

2. When boost gets very high its causes an extremely violent ECU fuel cut that almost throws you through the front window when it hits

I believe in this case its no. 1 fixable as i said with an ecu

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
