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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
