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.

hi, guys, im new here, have a problem after install the gizzmo IBC in my r33, i cant adjust the boost. It just always on 0.0psi , not sure i install everything correctly, possible any1 that using gizzmo IBC send me a picture of how the setup should be on the solenoid and fuel pressure regulator....very......very......very......very......appreciate . Once is working , will let WOGSRUS know is there any problem with my, since we have the same car......thx again

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
