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

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
