Can someone tell me what this sounds like?

situation is under throttle even if its full or half throttle

car appears to not go anywhere just as if the turbo is not working.

i can hear the car spool up though and the guage reads the right pressure.

it makes no differerance if i run 8 pound up to 13 pound.

only engine mods are

hks pod

blitz boost controller

stock turbo

stock cooler

where should i start looking?

could it be the spark plugs or coil packs?

or would it just be sometype of leak?

Thanks Guys

Loose or broken intercooler hose

yep yep yep yep.............I totally concur Inasnt!!!!!!!!

Mine gave the same effect regardless of boost pressure I manually dialled in.

It was found to be just a silly loose big hose clamp just prior to the plenumn.

Tightened her up and back to normal.

I feel your pain, but ur making boost (pre boost-gauge anyway...and that's all that matters!!!), it's just not being sent to the right location cause it's VENTING from somewhere to atmo!!!

You'll be fine! Just check everything (hoses/clamps) and don't take anything for granted.

.........unless ofcourse your turbo really is stuffed!!!

hmm but if the boost gauge is showing + boost then theres boost going in as the gauge is getting the reading i assume from the intake plenum so theres compressed air going in the plenum.

Just reading your post again. Your prob sounds similar to mine.(see post in forced induction) making boost, reving out, no audible pinging etc. I replaced spark plugs bout a week ago, tested coil packs, fine. Ill let you know if i come up with something. Went to overtake a ute pulling a trailer today at 110, only just made it past :Oops: lol

nope......good point!!

But wouldn't the reading of the gauge depend on where it is tapped into?

ie: ......tapped straight into the plenumn, your point is true (plus you've blown my leaky hose bracket out of the water 'cause there are none left at this point)

But if ur gauge is tapped well prior to the plenumn (like mine is at present), chances are there could be a leak after the gauge tap.

BUT...aha...if you had 2 gauges (in the interim) you could 'narrow down' the vicinity of that leak!!(??????)

I'd bet that this skliner has got a gauge tapped well prior to the plenumn.(?) and therefore his gauge shows boost (it is there!!), but it's not going where it should.

It just doesn't sound like timing or plugs to me. (i'm sure he'd be 'complaining' differently if it was??)

wotdurekonmate? :)

ill have another good look tonight, and i will tell you were my guages are tapped into, i have one for my electronic boost controller that gives me a boost reading and another for the old school type gauge that also gives a reading, they always match also even since i have had the problem. but yeah i will let you guys know where bouts they are tapped into tomorow morn.

ill check all my clamps also but they seem all sweet, havent looked at the cooler pipes, but i only have a stock cooler.

Have you fixed the problem ?

If you havn't I'd say its your timing, your crank angle sensor sounds like its been too far advanced thats why its making boost, reving and going no were. Try turning it back a little bit and see if it improves or get a timing light and set it back to standard.

:mad:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
