Hey guys i just put in a turbotech boost controller to my r32 gts4. i've set it to about 13psi. it hits this initially but then constantly drops off to below 10 psi. even before i put in the boost controller i could see the boost rarely held but it would only drop by 1 psi max. i took off the BOV to eliminate a leak there (advice from a mechanic) but even without it, the boost wont hold.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks heeps

I'm using the turbotech boost controller on my r32 gtst, running 13-14psi, it does drop off slightly but only to 11-12psi, not below 10. Not too worried, it's all temporary because as soon as I get some management the RB25 turbo and R34 injectors are going in :D

You can't put 34 injectors in an rb20 unless they are GTR and why you'd bother if your gettin a stock r33/34 turbo i don't know... waste of time.

For the boost issue, get yourself a decent actuator (HKS etc) with a 14psi spring and it will give the boost controller nothing to do :P Or even an rb25 one at 10psi and the boost controller should be able to make up and hold the extra 4psi no problems, if your tryin to make an average boost controller make the actuator do 100% more ie double what its supposed to of course you'll have some problems! Upgrading the actuator would be the easiest way to get what you want i think

They are top feed injectors, apparently of an R34, eitherway I have the rail they came with and a smart mechanic :P for $50, if they are good, then there no problem.

For $300 the RB25 turbo shall be a nice upgrade while I save for an r33 frontcut :) and I will be using the RB25 actuator with the RB25 turbo.

Not everyone has cash to throw around so why bag on cheap yet effective (hopefully) upgrades. A real waste of time is spending thousands on your RB20.. an RB25DET is a better place to start.. too bad they only came in boats :rofl:

Im not bagging you at all, just don't waste your money on those injectors, ull need a re-tune and they won't make any more power, ive seen rb20 injectors flow 280rwhp and you won't even make that with a standard rb25 turbo on 1bar ++ of boost... Save your money on the injectors :rofl:

For the amount ive paid for 300rwhp outta the rb20 i would have a pretty much standard rb25, so i disagree on it bein a waste of time but rb25 is an awsome upgrade in an r32 thats for sure!

Management is the bit that's got me stuck :P the injectors only cost me $50 with a rail and are a darn sight newer than the stock ones, so so if they work, cool - leaves a fair bit of safety with the duty cycle - if not, whack the standard ones back in.

I'm trying to decide whether to get a dyno tune and remap once it's done for about $700 OR saving a bit more for a powerfc as long as someone could convert it back to rb25 setup. I can't really justify the $1500 for an AP Eng powerfc if I can't use it on the next engine :rofl:

What kind of setup are you running jazza?

a r32 with a full tank of fuel weighs the same as r33 with a nearly empty tank. they are 4% heavier, but have over 20% more power.

but yes, an rb25 is a much better place to start. a guy in town just spent $8000 doing up an rb20. he put a stupidly big turbo on. he makes full boost at 5800rpm, and his redline is at 7200rpm. max power is just under 250hp (~185kw), and off boost it is hopeless. now for a darn sight less than $8000 he could've bolted a stock rb25 in and made the same power and had a much nice car to drive.

Well he obviously has NO idea really because to make that power with that lag is fkn stupid anyway, the weight differences between a R33 and R32 ARE noticeable, id know there is both cars sitting in my driveway, the 32 is much more nimble but the 33s motor means you don't notice it much in a straight line. The injector deal for $50 sounds incredibly cheap, if you can make em work then for your reasons i agree with what your doing.

I have done most of the bolt on mods, turbo with gate, injectors, pump, cooler/zorst, boost controller etc etc

Makes 300hp @ rears with full boost (20psi) by 3900rpm which is plenty fine for the street, to tune it i simply got the ecu rom'd and remapped!

My mate has the EXACT same mods on his rb25, ie same turbo + supporting mods inc injectors etc and makes 324rwhp on about 18psi and full boost by 3100rpm... is it worth spendin 5k+ to get everything set up properly on an rb25 for 24rwhp more and 800rpm less lag? Yes it makes more torque down low but i can't justify the expense unless you are going for 400+ hp, then the rb20 is just no good and you should look at a built rb25 or rb26 :P

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
