Hey I was just wondering if these power dips are normal for a standard computer?

I thought that it might be going into rich and retard mode. We tried setting it to 10 psi but the dips still remained, and we tried setting it at 13/14psi and it got 181rwkw.

Car is a 1996 R33 GTST

Mods:

3" Front pipe

GTR cat

3.5" HKS Cat-Back

K&N POD FILTER un-sheilded

GTR Intercooler

Bleed Valve set at 12psi

Do u think it may be getting too much airflow at 10psi aswell?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, Mike

Yep the good old R33GTST standard ECU rich and retard strategy. If it's a manual then Power FC is the go, if it's an auto then SAFC, DFA or equivalent.

:(

PS; I wouldn't be running the standard turbo at 12 psi.

wow that looks like mine but mine was a bit smother up top with mods at the moment being

3" dump and high flow cat

hks super dragger cat back exhaust

K+N panel filter

bleed valve set to 9psi

putting the cooler on at the moment then going to get it dynoed at different boost levels to see what happens with the afr at the moment it is running WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY to rich i am not sure if my budget supports an pfc so i will prob just go with a SAFC and see how she gos.

actually thats a really good comparison graph. we both around the same peak but i make on avg 20rwkw more at each km/h interval. the stock dump pipe is my current restriction and getting that changed this week and gtr fuel pump going in

Hey buddy. My r33 is doing the exact same thing. Ive been told that if I get a power FC it will fix things as well, but for about $1600 fitted with tuning.. its a bit more than i wanted to spend. I've been told SAFC II should do a similar job too ($400+Tune), im currently looking at getting one. I heard PFC is better to get if you want to change turbos later on.

BTW these are my specs:

3" seperated dump/front pipe

3" highflow cat and stainless xforce exh

HKS Pod filter

turbosmart manual boost control (running about 12ish psi)

hybrid FMIC

so.. similar to yours really mods wise. Ive attached dyno sheet.. which is around the same 226RWHP is around 165kw@ wheels i think (correct me if im wrong)

Thanks for all of ur replies, do u think that if i drop the boost the car will actually run better, considering it wont be rich and retarding itself?

Thanks, Mike

yes. it wont be flipping out as easily until you get the PowerFC :(

well if you drop the boost just under the stock ecu airflow cut then it wont keep going into rich and retard mode so youll make probably the same power, but the curve will be somewhat normal instead of a yoyo like arrangement.

Same thing happened to mine on the stock ecu.... i put the boost down from 12psi to 9psi and the car made plenty more power and was a lot smoother to drive...

As mentioned above, get a PFC, although i only achieved approx 10rwkw peak power gain the car as so much more midrange you will be very happy with it.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
