Just Bought R33 Idle Surging

[Darky82]

Hi all, just bought a r33 gtst and on the way home I started getting a idle surge hovers around 800-1200 almost stalls sometimes but will regain idle after a few seconds to a min.

Not sure if it has a aftermarket bov that is causing the problem.

Also a rubbery squeaking sound from behind timing cover. Could it be just a tensioner.

Has a gizmo boost controller too wtf how do you work it???

Ok pulled off the AAC valve and it was a bit covered in engine breather gunk.

Took the solinionds off it washed in diesel than cleaned with carby cleaner put back together installed, than went for a drive and it's sweet.

Purrs like a kitten all the time.

Noise behind timing cover has gone but I suspect it's a belt tensioner, geeeeeez $300 for a kit

Seen the gates racing one on eBay a lot cheaper are they a good kit for these engines.

Also noticed a very high pitch squeal from the turbo like a dog whistle, it's only on very light throttle every now and than. Sounds like and old bluebird CA18 turbo sound. Weirdest sounding turbo out there if you ever heard one.

Still hold boost but the pull is not consistent from mid to high revs, only very noticeable. But than again it's got 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 pipe than goes to the rear muffler and reduces to about 2 lol previous owner was defected. Will this all reduce high range power maybe a stupid question to ask.

93 R33 GTS-t do they only come with a tiny front mount?

Ok sweet.

Hey can anyone direct to to an eBay turbo seal and bearing rebuild kit for my car, they all seem to be different and after searching can't find a definite answer to the type of bearings they use.

Identify your turbo first, stock or aftermarket? Have purchased an ebay kit previously myself and they are of low quality- thats why they are cheap

No need for a racing (blue) belt unless youre pulling mass power, and theyre noisy. Just go genuine Nissan.

Should be a tiny side mount.
