[Turbo1958]

Can some one out there tell me if they have had a problem with there R33 loosing power .. Cause myn Has .. It feels like it there is a chain hooked on to it and is holding it back.. So far i have changed the fuel filter ,, Had a fuel flow test done cause they thought that my fuel pump was gone form bad fuel .. Had the cat checked .. all good there .. Where to mow i dont know .. I'm open for sugestions here guys .. Ragards Bill

first of all, does it lose power from straight away, or when it hits boost, and does the car run rough when cold and get better once warmed up?

need some more info mate

also, does ur boost guage still read what it used to read? is it still boosting properly?

Yeh I was going to say check the boost. Might want to leave it to the pros though. Send it to someone who's probably going to be able to take a quick look at it then fix it.

Edit: Clutch could be another if the revs seem fine but the car pulls nowhere.

have you checked to make sure no chains hooked on it holding it back???

Check compression and do a leakdown test .

Car is loosing the power straight away ..it still boots up but its laging .. no rough idle can put a cup of tea on the motor with spilling a drop.. have taken it in to some now .. Lets see what he can come up with .. most likely it will be something simple ..

If it's a drag car, make sure you havn't left the parachute open.

How's the leakdown test results??

[rukus]

get out of 4th gear and put it in to 2nd

power loss is straight away .. it just doesnt want to pull.. It uesed to fly but now it seems to take for ever to power up now if i run tomuch boost in it ..like 12psi or as soon as it reaches 8psi it just hit the defender and cuts out
