Yo!

 

so yesterday my s2 R33 rb25det was working perfect never had an issue. i get in my car i go for a drive i go to hit boost and its struggling, it sounds like i have a bee r limiter but no power at all just making mad pops from the exhaust. the factory boost gauge shows its working but yeah no power and it struggles real bad. 

 

i have checked all the piping and lines. no leaks or splits. 

if anyone has gone through this or knows how to fix it please help. i just wannnaaaaa hit boost :(

stock ecu. 11.5psi. s2 r33 turbo. there is a paper in the car that its been tuned to 11.5psi. but doesnt feel like it. i changed the spark plugs seems to be working a little more better now. just gonna scope out for leaks with air compressor. i was hoping nothing shorted when i was using a light test and accidentally hit the smoke lighter and it sparked 

hasnt been tuned for a few years. i have a dump and highflow cat and looked inside it no cermaic wheel bits. ive just put gasket maker for bov. tighten up everything else and install a boost a gauge tomorrow and see whats going on from there. its stopped misfiring. boosting better now. but feel like its lacking 10% of power i reckon but i'll let gasket dry over night and see how she goes in the morn. 

Turn down the boost, your car isn't tuned.

You cannot tune the stock R33 ECU unless it has been remapped by Toshi or by those off the shelf remapped Nap ECUs (totally useless with Australia fuel and climate).

update* seems to be running better now. it ind of slacks but its getting there.

 

also i noticed after putting gasket maker for bov. when cold it kinds of flutters a little and makes a weird little metal noise after dose for under a sec. but once its warmed up it goes back to whoosh sound and no metal noise :/ 

strange. now its starting to do it again.

 

so when i put my foot down as it gets around 4-5k mark it looses power even with my foot on the floor it doesnt wanna go anywhere. i try it again and boost will come on i try it again it wont want to move... so confused

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
