hi everyone i am having a problem atm with my r33 gtst rb25det it has been a problem since i have owned the car even after i have swapped motors.

when warm or cold as coming onto wot the car surges from 2000rpm to about 5000rpm then after that it completely frees up.

its a bad surge and if i hold wot when it surges it back fires and sounds like there's a front fire ?

standard boost well standard setup,

has front mount.

i have got new plugs gapped at .8

and have swapped coil packs no difference at all

timing is at 15 degres and the more timing i give better it gets

also has a new walbro hp fuel pump cant remember what models was good for 300 hp tho.

but when car is running or fuel pump is primed the fuel line isnt hard hard i can push it half way in .

any ideas on what it is guys all help much appreciated ??? thanks for reading :)

Checking the hardness of the fuel line won't tell you anything, that's what a fuel pressure gauge is for.

Obvious things to do are clean afm and check for boost leaks.

Aren't you the guy with the rb20 turbo that glows red all the time, drives hard everywhere and just got car out of impound?

If you are at all concerned about low fuel pressure......then why not either install a fuel pressure gauge into the line or take it to a mechanic who can so you can see if there's a problem or not?

y

Are you sure you checked the timing right? Did it with a plug lead between cyl 1 spark plug and coilpack and then put a timing light on

Sounds like timing to me, especially if it gets better as you advance it

Is the CAS dead?

Of course I would agree it could possibly be the afm as I already suggested that.

and also i took the rod off the actuator and its runs smooth as f**k obviously no boost ? so what do u suggest there? i have put a afm and borrowed a cas still the same ?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
