hi guy

i have a r33 gts-t. Ive had it boosted previously with a valve and it was set to 12psi (with stock cooler)

After the FMIC went in, i figured id be able to just wack the boost controller back in and it would sit at 12 like old times...How ever it seemed to just be running stock boost...so i adjust and adjusted till i got it back to where i wanted it. So its now at 11-12~ish.

Is it normal it did this? cause i had to wind the boost controller HEAPS to get it back up to 11-12.

Is this due to the persure loss, or is my boost controller stuffed or something?

No real dramas, just dont wanna hit boost then see my guage to 7+ 7+ 7+ 7+ if it is my controller lol

Thanks in advanced

do you have an aftermarket gauge?? (guessing you do) if you dont then the 7+ on the factory gauge is more like 1 bar. after my FMIC installed the other week my max boost went up 1 or 2 psi to around 12, so i wound it back down to 10. you got the opposite prob to me..

After thinking about it as i aim aimlesly bored at work (IT) LOL. i think i figured the problem ;) ill go home after work fix it...

I new there would be a difference after the FMIC, but i didnt think this much.

Cheers

I have just installed a fmic and found that my boost went up about 1-2psi but more so I found boost spike to be way more evident on a cooler night. Which in turn is either causing Rich and retard or missfires (fells like a miss to me but not sure what rich and retard feels like. Can someone explain?)

The above unpredictable boost issue could possibly be caused by my GFB manual bleed valve now getting a reading by being Tee'd into the BOV line. I intend to install my nipple in the I/C pipe very soon hoping this will decrease the cold night boost spiking effect somewhat.

All in all i did not touch the boost controller and boost did seem to rise slightly after the fmic installation.

RICOS - when you install a front mount , the boost becomes laggy because the air has a longer way to travel compared to the stock setup. i sugest you go and purchase an after marker boost gauge , to monitor your settings . and also psi is much easier to read .

yeah ellec boost controller is the only way to go. my greddy boost controller, bout 500 bucks, tells you max boost recorded after each throttle aplication ( boost spike). and the controller settings allow you to iorn out spikes easily, and you can flick back to stock boost too. oh and it also doubles as a digital boost guage

I have fixed my rich and retard issues by installing the nipple in the I/C piping before the t/b. no boost spikes only slightly and holds pretty steady MOST of the time. Previously was tee'd into the BOV line.

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
