IF ANYONE WANTS FREE HORSE POWER REMOVE THE RESTRICTOR FROM THE INTAKE PIPE LEADING TO THE THE SOLENOID BOOST CONTROLLER. TO FIND IT FEEL ALONG THE LINE AND YOU WILL FEEL A LUMP OF METAL IN THE LITTLE RUBBER HOSE THAT GOES TO THE BOOST CONTROLLER GTR'S HAVE THIS AS WELL.

THE RESTRICTOR LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE ROUND METAL PIECE AITH A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE.

HAVE FUN!!

firstly take caps lock off

secondly it doesnt apply to gtst's

thirdly buy a bleed valve and up the boost properly. if you do some cowboy job like this you could cause the turbo to overboost, resulting in blown turbo and possibly engine damage from a lack of fuel/detonation.

SIKR33, can u provide some pics?? because when i boosted my series 2, i disconnected the boost restricter and fitted a pipe on without the bump in the middle.... its on most nissans and my friend did the same to his 200sx.... im sure i know what ur talking about, but if u can show some pics of what u mean that would be great!!

Boost restrictor? Nope.

And it is not the same as the GTR.

What you need is a restriction on the other side of the solenoid.I've done this and had the boost at 10psi (you still have a two step boost curve tho').

And if you want the boost to be 10psi for good then buy a cheap ass bleeder. Better still an EBC.

ADAM SERIOUSLY IF I WANT TO USE CAPS LOCK I WILL OTHERWISE MIND UR OWN BUSINESS, AND YES I AM AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC AND THIS IS A RESTRICTOR AND NO IT WONT CAUSE THE TURBO TO OVERBOOST ALL IT DOES IS FREE UP THE VACUUM LINE TO ALLOW MORE BOOST TO BE APPLIED BUT IT WILL ONLY BOOST TO 7.5PSI WITHOUT AN EXHAUST OR WITH AN EXHAUST 10 PSI . GUYS DON'T WORRY THIS WILL NOT HARM UR TURBO OR MOTOR. ITS BETTER THAN CUTTING WIRE 53

You must be one sick aircraft mechanic, did you do word processing as part of your engineering training?

Do you have anything positive to add to the discussion? If not then leave your stupid comments to yourself.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
