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

    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
    • Someone needs to copy it, improve it aesthetically, make it DBW ready from day 0 and send it to the motherland Chynah for my relatives to cast it and mass produce it 😅
