hey all,

Thinking about taking out the boost restrictor on my r32 gtr until i save enough money and can actually get around to getting an EBC for full range control. Any pros/cons? thoughts?

Have many ppl done this before?

I am aware it sits in the vacuum line, but is it easy to get to and remove...?

thanks

the boost restrictor in my 32gtr was removed b4 i brough my car. running 12psi and holds it really well, according to the dyno graph/

i dont think it is too hard to remove, i have a guy that worked at an import spare parts place that owned a gtr show me what to do.

ya just have to find the hose it is in and squeeze behind it until it come out the end or replace the hose if u wanna keep the restrictor in the hose for any reason

ah ok cool thanks

yeh i think ill just have a play with it this weekend.

are the any negatives though with regards to taking it out? cos obviously it wouldnt be worth putting back in (too much trouble)

wow about 12psi, i was told after taking it out i would get only about 10psi, which was still better than stock 7

Negatives include the potential to blow one or both of the exhaust wheels of the stock turbos. If you're really unlucky, you could also get reversion of ceramic dust and munch your engine. Another possibility is that your air/fuel ratios will be out of whack with the potential to run lean.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
