Well I have looked using the Search button but cant seem to find what im looking for.

I have Just installed a new turbo onto my car but it seemed to do this on the old turbo.

I am boosting 1Bar and I could drive hard and then all of a Sudden it will just stop and it hurts your head when it does :D

another thing is when im boosting sometimes it seems to struggle, A friend of mine said when he was following me it had some sort of whiteish smoke comming out of the back when it was doing it.

Also where is the oil sencer placed as my gauge is playing up.

Put it back on standard boost and it won't do that.

Its the way the standard ecu is mapped. So that when the ecu measures more air flow then standard you go onto a higher load point that is mapped with lots of fuel and no ignitition timing.

Only real way around it is to go buy a PowerFC if you want more then standard boost.

The oil pressure sender is on the oil-water cooler behind the oil filter on the engine block. It has a yellow plug on it generally.

this man is right on the money.

the oil gauge playing up is common problem in the r32's.. I still never found out if it was the sender or the gauge itself, but don't freak if it says you have zero oil pressure.

Still gives me the $H!ts though!

as for the boost, 1 bar is roughly 14.5 psi. The computer wont like it, the intercooler probably wont, and neither will the engine. 12 psi should be a more appropriate figure.

and as stated above, an ecu upgrade should be a priority.

I also suggest a front/dump, high flow cat, and an intercooler.

Well I guess I will have to get a Power FC then

and intercooler isnt a biggy yet. Big loads of power isnt what im after anyway, i just want to to run right.

Well everything seems to be fine at 14.5PSI

The engine is more then able to take that.

I guess I need to save up hard to get that power FC and see how she goes then

dude! I'd be getting a FMIC before anything.... The standard intercooler is definately not able to cope with 14.5psi!

Get a FMIC, but not a huge 600x300x75 one... Get like a second hand GTR one or something.

Will work out perfect.

hope this helps:

ChinaCopy Cooler 300x600x76 = $250

Piping = $600

Nismo FuelPump = $300-$400

Nismo Injectors 450cc = $600-$700

Nismo FRP = $160

PFC = $1000 + $400 to $450 for tuning or Hyperdrive will retune your stock ecu with a lumpy rom for around $800

maybe a clutch too $800-$900

ohh and how are you controlling boost?

ohh yes and your getting fuel-cut from ur ecu as everyone has said :P

question for you do you know what ur hybird turbo is rated at? as i would be interested to know if ur pushing around the 230-250rwhp without a fmic and if its pinging

Well I have fixed some of my Probs my Bov was too loose and now she seems to be heaps better, just every now and then I get some fuel cut but she lets loose again and fine. But when I back off she still is over fueling I guess thats where a tune will come in handy

The Turbo is rated at 500+HP and 25PSI+

I ant pushing those limits I have no reason too.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
