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

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
