Hey guys i got my r33 gts-t today, and it had a hks elec boost controller fitted, the thing is, the guy gave the car to me off tap (unlimited boost) and i ended up hiting 2.0BAR!!! in 2nd gear, fried the tyres something shocking, now its on 1.0bar which is still too high, its on stock boost setting and stuff but i wonder why its still hitting so much boost?

id appreciate it if my question could be answered properly, anyone with a smartass comment, please get out of my thread.

Thanks. phill

if the previous guy has been driving around like that expect some serious failures sooner rather than later.

Maybe try hooking up the standard solenoid agan and see what boost it runs??

sounds like either the boost controller is damanged/faulty/disconnected/failed or the turbocharger boost control system is damanged/faulty/disconnected/failed

check there is a pressure line running to the turbocharger actuator

check the boost controller

try resetting the boost controller

failing all that have a workshop check it out as if you keep driving it you will cause damage if you havent already. your seals are probably shagged or very unhappy now, check the intake pipes for oil

well its running factory boost solenoid now, i know it holds boost because its a t4 actuator on a t28, so its like its been set at 1.0bar? its ment to be hitting 8psi. I cant hear the turbo choking or anything yet. I just dont want to have anything fail on me, as i dont have any money!. Ive checked all lines, all are ok, i wasnt too sure how they sit, but ive put the 2 lines that go into the std controller solenoid in properly, and one goes into the cooler piping? or something like that. Ill take some fotos of how they are now, and you could correct me on what is right/wrong?

Thanks

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
