Overboosting At 5000rpm

Hey guys, have an overboosting problem with my r33 gtst s1 with the wastegate fully open. It makes no boost with the gate open until 5000rpm where it builds up very quickly to 14psi + . Being a GCG highflow I sent it back to them thinking the wastegate needed to be bored out. . The wastegate was bored out to the largest size possible with a new flap assembly. Got it back and still have the problem. I have also checked the cat for anything restricting flow and that the wastegate is not rubbing on the dump, both are fine.

mods:

power fc

power fc EBC

GCG highflow

batmbl dump

3in exhaust after cat

any thoughts welcome, cheers...

mitch.

my mate has same problems, exacty thesame. Give a ydawak PM. he is usually on every couple of days. But so far the turbo has been off 3 times to fix it, turns out the way the turbo was put back together, ment the westage was not openning fully or something. He has yet to get the car back after having everything put back together, so wait and see

check you have the hoses for your ebc plumbed in for internal gate, not external. There are three possible fittings on the solenoid unit, i think you want for internal the middle one and one of the side ones..check the apexi handbook for setup.

it's actually something to do with the angle of the wastgate actuator to the push rod that opens it. My mate, broght a CGC turbo, same problem, it was ok on the bench, but as soon as it was bolted to the car, and the wastage rotaed round to fit the engine bay, it simply made boost and it could not be limited back.

Hey guys thanks for the replys, the ebc should not come into play because the actuator arm is disconnected and I wired the wastegate open, so it shouldn't make boost, but it still does..

thanks again for you imput...

Woop,

Another one that does the same, unsolved mistery!

This is the 4th R33 that has this problem...

We have just about tried everything from dumping the exhaust to getting a new hks turbo! still boost creep at 5000rpm...

Same thing with the wastegate flap fully open, makes 15 or so psi!

Oh with the flap fully open it will make some boost should be a max of 7psi at around 7000rpm... but 14 and more aint normal.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
