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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
