there's no factory boost controller mate...

what mods do you have?

i'd say your problem is either

- you have no mods and so upping the boost against a restrictive exhaust is doing nothing

- your boost controller is crappy and spikes then doesn't hold boost to the redline

i'd say its the boost controller

also, check to make sure you have it on the right way (there should be an arrow)

good luck,

Warren

turbosmart boost controllers are crap. i had a dual stage one for a while then i ditched it for my old turbotoech controller.

have you set the second stage up properly for 15psi?

it could also be that the solenoid is blocked or not switching over in it. mine did that. i'd flick the switch and you could hear it switch but the solenoid was blocked so it wouldn't change boost.

What supporting mods do you have?

R32 gtst run standard 10psi so you are pretty close to the limit alreadt for a stock car.

Unless you have a full 3 inch exhaust and intercooler i wouldnt try to increase the boost at all.

yer my car sucks.. 2 different motors and i've always required an ebc or other means to hold boost. It always tails off to ~2-2.3psi above actuator pressure.

the turbotech ball/spring mbc's do work better than the usual bleeder. The usual bleeders do tail boost off on int. gates. They appear to work fairly well on ext. gates.

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
