Yeah I am fairly certain that the SET GAIN is too high which is causing your issue.

Your setup seems correct, I also have a blocked off pipe which appears to be in the same location.

It was blocked when i got my car, so the previous owner in Japan must have had an EBC in it, but removed it.

I am at work atm, so i will have a look in a bit and let you know...

From memory these are the following settings for my Profec B Spec 2 on my RB20.

SET = 55%

GAIN = 5%

SET GAIN = 0.53bar (7.687014 psi)

WARN = 0.95bar (13.77861 psi)

LIMITER =15%

I find reving out in high gears it sometimes reaches 1.00 bar (14.5038 psi)

I also find, that it does not reach optimal boost until i am reving at about 4500 to 5000 rpmish. I would like it to reach max boost sooner and hold all the way out through the rev range without creeping to much at high rpm. But the gain is turned down all the way....

Since it has gotten colder i have dropped it down to about 50%ish as it has been hitting 1 bar a bit more frequently :D

Haha cant complain about that :banana: Ill try your settings and see how i go with it, there shouldn't be too much difference between the settings between the Rb20 and the Rb25? Cheers man

There shouldn't be any difference when it comes to boost levels.

The power will be different of course due to a larger turbo on the RB25, but basic settings should be the same.

If you have a series 1 R33 with a steel compressor wheel it may be a little laggy so increasing the SET GAIN should allow the boost to come on quicker, but once again i am no expert and i have a R32 so i am only going by what i have read :banana:

Yes there will be a heap of difference between RB20 and RB25 settings unless you're running an RB20 actuator.

I also wouldn't put your SET GAIN to 5psi, A) it defeats the purpose of this function and B) that is when your stock actuator will be opening and it might create some issues.

Start conservatively with your SET GAIN at say 7psi then slowly bump it up until it starts to spike then back it off slightly.

A good way to tune SET GAIN:

1. pick desired boost level (12psi or 120)

2. tune gain to suit

3. SET GAIN to 3psi (30) less then max boost (Therefore 9psi or 90)

4. go for run, and watch the guage, does it spike or not?

a. Spikes: reduce SET GAIN in small increments

b. No Spike: increase SET GAIN in small increments till spike occurs, then go back 1 setting

I might have to give that a go today. Im currently only on 5.5psi for my Set Gain. Might bump it upto 9psi and see how i go. Set is quite high at 55% and Gain is at 15%. This sound right for around 12psi? Anyone feel free to add what settings they have for around that amount of boost. Cheers

What your settings are really depends on the turbo and the support gear, if you have a big, high flow exhaust you wont need as much set to get to the boost that you want, etc...

With my high-flow s2 turbo, to get to 11 pound I have about 28% set...

I would turn down your SET to something a little lower and and go for a few laps and then gradually turn it up until you reach the boost you require.

Turn your GAIN all the way down to 5% for the time being....

Mine SET is at 50% to 55% depending on the weather, but yours may be different to reach your desired boost....

rather than start a new topic.....will do a stone-age bump. Having a small issue with mine, which is keeping the boost at 12psi in the mid-range revs. Seems to be that if I increase either set or gain, it will cause boost to go well over 12psi once you hit the higher revs, but boost is only 10-11 psi in the 3500-5000rpm range. This is for a hiflow stock turbo on r32 actuator.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
