Hey.

I really hope someone can help, i have a Series 1 R33 Gtst it's mostly factory but i have recently had a Garrett GT30 with the nissan exhaust housing fitted with a hybrid frount mount intercooler, K&N Air filter, blow off valve..... it's allmounted on the factory exhaust manifold, factory dump and front in to a 3inch exhaust and all runs off the factor ECU and AFM at around 14psi.

The problem is, apparty from my range of factory gear, the car hauls ass all the way to 4000rpm and between that an 5000rpm its a real dog but after about 5100rpm it goes like a champion all the way to redline. This happens from 10psi up.

I read that this could be caused by small hair line cracks in the coil pack so i pulled them out and taped em up like it said but this seemed to make absolutly no diffrence.

Just looking for some ideas.

Cheers.

My R33 missed like a pig in the same rev band - something like wet ignition - until I taped the coils. Went fine afterwards (no missing), but the same range feels like a big flat spot. Sensation is like you are hard on the throttle and applying the brakes simultaneously. The insulation tape might stop the misses, but the coils may be failing internally. Just a thought.

I've read that the AFM might be doggy, so i'm going to give that a go....just gotta find someone round here with one. Next thing on the menu was going to be the Apexi Power FC but $1200+ is on the back burner.

Oh also it feels like a big flat spot like it's being choked.

Well, spending $1200+ on PowerFC on a car with stock turbo is a more logical upgrade path than spending a fortune on aftermarket turbo first, since stock ECU will start behaving weird past 9psi & stock R33 AFM will maxed out above 12psi.

Replacing your AFM with Z32 item will be useless if you still have the factory ECU as the ECU won't recognise the Z32 afm reading. You'll need to replace the ECU with PowerFC at the same time, since PFC has an option to recognize Z32 AFM on RB25.

Cool cool, sorry for my illogical way of thinking, I came over to the Jap Import sceen form the old V8's and as you all know when youv'e been playing with carbies and porting cylinders - ECU's and Air flow Meters are an all new game!. Does anybody know where i can get my hands on an Apexi PFC for the cheapest possible price???

Thanks fellers.

I have a larger garett BB turbo from GCG Rated at 450hp and I am only running a standard computer with safc2 and it runs like a train...dynoed it and got 230rwkw......but next mods are new ECU & larger 555cc injectors! :D want to go the PFC but might go a MAP style ECU and ditch the airflow meters!

but not bad from a stock computer with a piggyback!....my injector are at 85%....not upping it anymore!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
