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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
