    Running Hks Gtrs On Standard Rb25 Ecu

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I just forked out a lot of coin for a HKS GTRS turbo. I still need to get further supporting mods to run the turbo efficiently (ecu,injectors etc).

    I've already got the turbo installed and currently driving with it. My question is,is it safe to run the turbo on standard ecu and injectors? For the meantime anyways.When I give it a bit,the engine suddenly surges an runs rough,I know I know.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hks Ssqv And Greddy Type S Surging

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    I have tried searching everywhere for answers on both BOVs but can't come up with anything.

    So the situation is I have both the bovs. The problem is both these bovs are giving me compressor surge at light throttle.

    Surge would mean spring is too stif,so the SSQV is as loose as it can get but still doing it.

    On the type s,the valve is open at idle because the vacuum was pulling it open,I adjusted the screw on top so that it stays shut at idle,yes it stays shut at idle but it's too stiff to vent at even medium throttle.

    The car is running stock boost (rb25) so I'm thinking boost might need to be raised to overcome spring pressure?

    Even at light throttle (low boost-5 psi?) with it surging it wouldn't be enough to hurt the turbo?

    Any help would be great.

    Buying First Car!

    Mate,going from personal experience,I'd stick to a cheap basic car. I'm the same age as you and in some ways I regret buying a R33 turbo as my first car.

    The main reason being is that it costs a S*** load in petrol,and I'm on basic pay which doesn't help. It works out better in the long run to save that money wasted in general expenses in maintaining such a car,which will come in handy later on down the track. Besides,it's always better to learn to drive in a not so flash car and build up experience in that.If you happen to have a crash in the earlier stages of driving (not saying that you will), its better a crap car than a nice import,right? Then when you get your full license you'll have the reward of upgrading to a performance vehicle .

    Removing Interior Map And Dome Lights

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I'm going to be in the process of removing the dome and map lights in order to install some LED lights. I don't want to break anything so I thought it would be best to get some info,I tried searching everywhere but I couldn't seem to find anything. I remember reading way back that one in twist off and other is clipped on? I may be wrong.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks guys.
