hey just a quick question.. i've got a r33 GtsT.. when i'm driving it pulls boost it won't go, it feels like it's holding back... on the boost guage it saying i'm on boost.. but yeah it doesn't go it's like it's lagging.. BUT when i turn my car off then on again, it work's normal it pulls boost then goes good... it only happens sometimes though.. any ideas??? i've checked all hte piping and vaccum it's all good... but yeah does anyone have this sort of problems??

i've got a blitz computer.... yeah it's weird when it happens, at the lights i turn the car off hten turn it back on then it drives normally

i pulled all the plugs in the engine and cleaned it.. even took out the coil packs and cleaned them too...

update.. theres' oil in the last cylinder... and spark plug was BLACK AS!! got new ones and cleaned the oil away... works BEAUTIFUL!!

5 days later... it happened again.. so i checked if there was oil in the cylinder again.. there's none so i cleaned the ends of the spark plugs. now it works good again..!! what the!! again when it did happen, i turn my car off then on again.. it worked normal again..

can't figure it out

oil in the last cylinder?

Its got bad blow by. If I were you, get it compression tested, and stop boosting in the mean time before you really wreck it.

Sounds like you are going to need a rebuild....

I have the same problem. I have a R32 GTS-t and just put a new air intake and boost controller to put it to 12 pund but still feels when it boosts not much quicker and it has alot more potential. Any idea's from anyone what this could be. The car is completely stock other than this.

why am i going through oil so quickly.. there's no leak that i can see

Oil isn't going to magically disappear. It can only be leaked out or lost in the cylinder.

Get a compression and leakdown test done, as others have said. But it looks like rebuild time.

rory_kiernan : stock r32 is 10psi? and you've gone to 12psi with not much else done... :blink:

i've got forged piston and bigger turbo...

it's running good now.. but i happens probably 2/3 times a week.. not all the time when i driving... but it's annoying when it kicks in.. cos it feels like i've lost alot of power, but the boost is there... it's set on 15psi. but when the problems kicks in it only goes to 7psi

Hey Mr Sly, i have the same problem as you at the moment, by boost laggs, but only every now and then, and im only running stock 7psi as well, with a stock ecu at the moment, any one have any idea on this one? r33 series 2 1996, it lags some times on winding up and other times around 5psi, and you can feel the pull then it kicks in, then it pulls then kicks in, its annoying the hell outa me as well, anyone think this a spark plug issue? (i havent checked them yet as been busy, but its the first thing im going to check tomorrow) just got the car back and this happened

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
