Hi all

Well tonight my bro was driving and being stupida as we all do, late at night, nice and cold outside, and my car went all the way to 14psi after the FMIC, so propably 16psi on the turbo side.

I have a FMIC and turbo back exhaust, SAFC II tuned and HKS pod, ect ect, stock boost controller, and the boost went up top 14 psi. I am looking at a GIZZMO IBC but this is weird. The highest i ever saw it before was 12psi, but normally lucky to see 10psi.

What the hell is goign on and how do i fix it untill the GIZZMo is in????

And befor i get flamed, it was on a dual higway with just us two and NOOOOOO cars, and it was my brother.

So you're seeing 14 instead of 12psi? Easy answer could simply be that at night you're seeing boost spiking abit higher due to the colder denser air. I see my boost jump up to 9-10psi at night from the 8psi I see during the day on my ProfecB2.

Off topic, I remember you writing a thread about the SAFC. Have you been able to rid the notoriouse R&R using the SAFC?

Well it sure scared the hell out of me. But yeah i am sure it had to do with teh cold night and denser air. Can't wait for an EBC to fix things.

As for the R&R, yess i managed to get rid of most of the issues, we bumped teh fuel pressure up, only 3 psi and then tuned down the SAFC to the point where the R&R disapeared, but the stock computer not taking timming out.

It took some time, and there is still a little flat spot, but not as obvious as it was.

Having done all this i just purchased a mines ECU, so we see how that goes.

perhaps your exhaust is the problem, if it is free flowing enough air will go through the turbo still when the wastegate is open. air goes the easiest way...is that a tiny wastegate hole or the already spinning turbo with nothing behind it?

can someone please lend a knowing ear?

you can't get much more free flowing them mine, 3" dump, no cat, and an oval 3" muffler with 4" tip. it's free alright. LOL

I think it's the stock boost controller not working with so many modifications.

Shut up and grow some balls.

Big deal, my brother was driving wayyy over the limit, not like you haven't done it. So give up. I try not to do it, my brother was driving as it was his first drive ever in my car.

RELAX. it was very late, no cars on the stretch of highway we were on, and even if there was, centre divide so I couldn't hit them anyway. I am getting sick and tired of people thinking that if you speed, you are dead. I have been racing on tracks since I was 13, have had accidents and learned, never do anything stupid on the real roads, and if you look at my driving record, it's %100 clean, and I have been driving for 8 years.

SO lay off grow some balls and stop pretending that you leave in a society where people are perfect, your not and neither is anyone else.

THE END.

So before you call people a moron, GET YOUR FACTS STREIGHT. just cos your the MOD, don't mean stuff to me.

I think it was more they dont want to be seen promoting speeding as this is a public forum. Talking about drifting/speeding/doing burnouts in public areas you will find is a no no on these forums. Would you really want to see a newspaper article laying shit on 'hoons' and a big screenshot of these forums with people bragging about what they have done?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
