wouldn't have to change the bov, unless it starts leaking when you get on boost. the stock bov is designed to leak at all times. it has a hole in it to do so. this leaking also helps it hold higher boost as the leaking air pushes down on the top of it to keep it closed. i blocked mine up and it started leaking boost so i unblocked and it doesn't spike. but going to an aftermarket bov will stop it leaking any boost and make it spool up a touch quicker. (its like trying to fill a bucket with a cup with a hole in it. plug up the hole and you will fill the bucket quicker).

you would need an aftermarket ecu to get rid of boost cut. and remember that 14psi on a high flow will give more power than 14psi on stock turbo.

Thanks mate, exactly what I needed to know.

Well at the moment.. i'm running 12 Psi.. n i'm not getting any Fuel Cut for some reason.. so i'm not sure if i have a Stock Ecu n it has a Rev Limiter on it as well...

I remember when i did my first Test Run when the Boost Controller started working.. it went upto 15 psi.. but didn't cut out.. but i didn't give it stick till redline.. just suprised it went up that high.. n did Pop when i changed gear..

What if i keep it on 12.. n get FMIC.. will that b ok???

Oh yeh Evil_weevil.. u going to Antilag Cruise this weekend??? if u r u could sort my boost problem when i c ya hehe

depends on mods. it is based off air flow, not boost pressure. i was running 13psi with stock dump and cat with not boost cut. the day i put on the dump and cat boost cut was kicking in at 1/4 throttle so i had to wind the boost down.

So Mad082..

As long as I don't get any Boost Cut... it should b ok to Run??

I have a HKS Filter n Zorst 2 1/2 wif Cat n High Flow Muffler.. was driving tonite n was cruising along in the freeway in 5th doing about 90... so i put it in 3rd n give it some stick n c how it go..

It went Hard Alright... but the Boost went upto 13-14 psi.. i'm guessin the Cold night gave it extra PSI

didn't cut out though.. kept going hard.. then had a played around wif this SS... didn't Cut out... Caned it up 2 about 4th then slowed down was worried it mite POP..

yeah should be cool. just have to watch out that it doesn't do it when the engine is cold, but you shouldn't be driving it hard when the engine is still cold. when i have the boost at about 13psi i get boost cut until the pipes heat up. the engine can come nearly up to temp and if i give it a quick boot in 3rd it will start to rev up then cut. it will only do it once or twice, then the cooler and piping comes up to temp and it won't do it again.

it only did it in the morning on the way to work... and on the way to the dyno run, so i had to wind the boost down which i was a bit annoyed about cause i took it for a spin the night before to see if it was going to do it and it didn't.

Sounds Good.. well i put it Back on the way it was before.. which is connect it to the Stock Selonoid.. in which it's suppose to Run Stock Boost n gave it a quick run n it went only up 6.5psi n won't get any higher.. where it used 2 b 8psi.. so that kinda annoyed me..

but anyway i'll put it back on n c how it runs for the Cruise on Sat Nite..

This is getting f*kkin rediculous

You know what is fcukin ridiculous, people like you who think everyone knows how to use the search function from the word go. fcukin ridiculous. Were you born a dickhead or do you work really hard at being one. Grow up Kris.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
