Help Me With My Boost Settings, Wastegate, Turbo Settings.


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the info DJRIFT, the more info the better. I have talkt to a few people now and it seams to be a very common problem. YEEHHHAAA.

Well i'm going to look into porting my wastgate to remove some of the creep.

SO IF anyone has a stock turbo and can get me some pics to see how much i can port out, that would be great.

with all the dicking around, would it not be easier to replace it with a big aftermarket turbo? I know what paying for something like this can be like but you know you will want to eventually anyway.

well i got all the new gear, coils leads ect, and it cost me $300, still needed 3 plugs at $30 each and brackets etc etc. So by the end of it, it would have costed nearly $450. And no promise that it would work. So i canned that idea, got my money back by taking everything back, just need to sell the igniter and all good, get splitfires early jan, after Xmass.

Not sure what you mean there. But i am male and impulsive, so thinking isn't always my strong point.

Hay Toffy, do you have that R34 rear housing, if so and it does fit an R33 turbo compresor, can i borrow it, or buy it. I will then port the wastgate and have it ready to bolt up to the turbo. I will then port up the R33 rear and give it back to you as exchange or something.

If you don't want to sell it, can i simply borrow it to work out how big i can port the gate ect.

Thanks

yeah it did, still have boost creep, but i fixed that a little by craking up the response, so that the turbo overshoots and by the time creep sets in it's about level. got a new housing to machine up, see if that helps.

Good stuff.

The Gizmo's are a good unit but a little temprementle setting up at first.

I still rate them over the Jaycar controller though for the price!!!

Glad your getting it sorted out finally, what do you have the boost set at now???

just 10 around town, i have had it at 12, but boost cut sucked, now that i am going to have a Syrus20 ECU form nippan, should fix some of those issues. The turbo has pulled as high as 16psi, when the actuator line broke, ooopppss, but it survided it all.

With the new boost controller, i manage to get massive brakeout, under acceleration in first, LOL. LOVE IT.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
