Hi guys,

To cut to the chase ive had this car for over 15 yrs now 94 R33 GTST. It is modified to support 500hp on e85. A few months ago now we were cleaning up the maps in the vipec ecu when the car started to act as if it had no/low fuel. So switching it back to 98 ron it picked up again and was sucessfully mapped on the dyno. However when taken on a road test it started to do the same thing. So like anyone would we replace fuel filter and fuel pump and to our surprise nothing changed. My friend is a proficient tunner and for months now the solution to our problem has eluded both of us. At witts end and cant figure out what is happening to my car. Any ideas ?? Injectors are all flowing fine.

No we havent checked that i did notice that it was blowing the hose from the intake side of the tappett cover but didnt think anything of it. It also just had an oil catch can fitted with a breather on it. Im not sure what fuel pressure its running at.

They were recently flow tested but could be blocked again

If you still have the old filter cut it open to see if its full of crud. E85 has the effect of cleaning out the tank and although you should be fine now some stuff may have got through to the injectors.

      r34's love to squeal

      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.

      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.
