ok, just a couple quickies in relation to a modded r33 gtr... its running pfc, stock turbos with steel wheels @19psi, stock bovs and a bigger apexi intercooler... car was already modded when purchased recently so i dont know exactly how its all been done. also, im not sure if the setup is working as best as it could be... the car makes good power when turbos are spooled but lags more than i believe it should after a gear change at WOT. i have a suspision that the tubos stall (or surge?) when the throttle shuts when shifting, as i hear a `ptrrrrrrr' (slowing down) then spool up all over again, then feel the accel again...shouldnt they already be spooled and whine almost immediately?

1. how is boost controlled (by what mechanism ie. bleed valve etc) on a stock rb26? could there be room for better response with the $22 boost controller...

2. what does compressor surge sound like? Is it like a 'ptrrrrrrr' sound im getting?...(not just the ptshhhhhh of the bov) and how can i fix? BOV issues maybe?

id love to eliminate some of this lag, any suggestions?

Groper,

What RPM are these laggy WOT gear changes occurring at ?

flat bikkies mate, it does it even at 7000prm+... only time i can keep them spooled is if i dont shut the throttle completely, like when accel full boost, back off a LITTLE for a sec (small bov sneeze) then foot back down again in same gear. i get what id call `normal lag` to recompress all the intake plumbing but at least i can hear the whine almost immeditately telling me they didnt spool down...

if i back off COMPLETElY in same gear fully boosted for a sec, (take right foot OFF) same prrrrrrr sound, and the turbos slow right down, when put foot down again, i can hear them spool all the way up again and i get my very laggy problem...

is this normal?

yep, but perhaps they open too late maybe, or not capable to release/flow enough volume perhaps?

i thought it might be the bov`s, but read on here some people reckon they get less lag without bov`s at all. or block them off???

failing that, i think it might be the boost controller not closing the wastegate quickly enough after a gear shift? how is the wastegete(s) controlled on a 33GTR? new car, im learning still...

what you think???

I'm getting the same problem with my car lately on Hi boost @18ish psi,

Running -7 turbos, and greedy profec b spec 2 boost controller. Never had a problem with lag/flat spot between high rpm gear changes but lately it's started

Even tried turning my gain and set gain down still no luck, car doesn't even chirp 2nds anymore cos of this delay,

Anyone know what may be the problem?

Ps. It doesn't do it on low boost @14psi

If the throttle is closed at revs this is what happens... open bov means the turbo will gently slow down. Closed bov means the turbo will rapidly slow down... there is more to it but this is the basic scenario

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
