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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
