hey, i just put on a gfb boost controler (best $70 that i have ever spent as it holds the boost alot better than my previous turbosmart bleed and doesnt spike as much)

Im 97% sure its set up correctly, but im getting like what would happen if you hit the rev limiter? - thats the best discription i could give...

is this a fuel cut or will i need better spark plugs as the boost is blowing the sparks out?

any one else had this problem? or kno what wrong?

thanks guys.

:)

i raced a s2 r33 lastnight and was dead even, and i had that possible fuel cut. if i fixed this problem id chop him. in my lil s1 33.
Their is no difference, it all comes down to mods and the driver.

Dont race... and if you do.... dont post it.....

As previously stated many times before....

Question "Why are you running a $70 part in a $15,000+ car"????

Do it properlly, buy an elecronic boost controller and fuel cut defender.....

Also i hope you have an exhaust and front mount... 11psi is the absolute max you should run on a stock setup...

Ppl's,

I had a problem this morning with my R33 96 S2, i have had it for a couple of days. It has a FMIC, exhuast, BOV, POD & running at 11psi (so they say).

I have given it a bit through 2nd & 3rd gear, but this morning i was in 4th@60-70kph & when i accelerated and it hit boost, it cut out, is this the boost cut.

Just dont see why i did not get this problem in 2nd or 3rd gear.

Any idea's.

PS, i dont know how they are making it do 11psi, no EBC or adjustable T piece in the engine bay, but i was told it hit 12-13 psi when it was dynoed.

PROBLEM SLOVED!!!!!!! :headspin:

i did my homework on this problem and found that it was misfire... ( The extra boost blows out the spark before combustion ) As the stock sparkies are only set up for stock boost. When looking through my lil bros hot4's mags i found a 3page article on sparkplugs. Regapping your plugs from 1.1 (stock) to 0.8 should fix this problem. AND DID MINE :headspin:

There is a cheep way to fix this if your on a budget and a expencive way. i chose the expencive way...

CHEEP WAY.

Go to your local hardware store and get a spark plug gapping tool. Not sure what they are called but they tell you what size your gap is.

Pull your plugs out and tap the tip on a hard surface, then with your new gapping tool ajust it to 0.8, put your sparkies back in, up tha boost n take it 4 a spin.

You can get aftermarket 0.8 pre gapped plugs from autobahn for under $5ea.

EXPENCIVE WAY.

I got the NGK Iridium ix plugs. I payd $20 each and that was with a discount. but if you have future plans of upping the boost above 13psi these pluge are recomended.

as the 6 type stay colder... ive heard ov ppl uping there boost that hard that there sparkies golw red and ignite the fule with out a spark.. trust me you dont want this to happen. you can even go 7 but thats only recomended for over 2bar.

Iridium plugs stay cleaner then your average plugs and are anit-oxidation and anti-corrosion, they apparently last forever too. :headspin:

these plugs are gapped to 0.8 already so you dont have to fcuk around trying to get the correct gap size.

Mad free advertising for NGK...

I :ghost: If you have ever changed your plugs (skyline owners) youl know that its a mission :ghost: took me and a mate well over an hour :ghost:

Do your homework before you go out and spend hundreds of $$ on plugs, but in my oppinion its better than a dead rb25. and well worth it.

Thanks Gamatron ;)

I will check out the gaps on my skyline, i had a R33 S1, that was boosted too 10psi running the stock plugs & it was fine but i did end up changing them too NGK Iridiums.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
