Can this be done with the use of a fuel cut defender?

They say that these things run really rich on boost so would the extra boost still run OK ? or will it run lean on anything over the boost cut and ping ??

I dont have the money for a upgraded computer right now and I want to squeeze a bit more performance outta it.. The intercooler is upgraded (supra round core) and so is the turbo (steel rear wheel T3 highflowed with t4 front wheel)

Would it be worth installing the turbo smart fuel cut def? or just waiting for a S-AFC or something?

is anyone using a standard computer on more then 13 PSI boost ?

It is a series 2 engine

Anyone have any idea how much you can get outta a standard computer?!?

with that turbo setup your stock ECU isn't gonna do you any justice as they map's don't really suit turbo upgrades.

as when boost hits it will be different and stuff. I should put a stock ECU into mine and see what it does ... (i got bigger turb's too but i got chipped ECU with a smooth as curve)

S-AFC might fix it but i'm not sure?

I have a 95skyline stock comp and stock ecu running 14psi with a electronic dual stage boost controller without any probs. i have a front mount and exhuast and air filter

What kind of front mount ???

Anyone else??

Dude you'll probably find that the factory boost control cut wont allow you to go that high, and with a stock cooler and turbo pushing that kinda psi is asking for it to giveway. The turbo seal on teh exhaust housing on a stock R33 is only rated to 14psi out of the factory, in other words once ya go passed that limit it is passed what its made to withstand for a certain period of time. Ya better off saving ya bucks and keep it on say 10psi max for no with no cooler or turbo and get ya self the stuff ya need to make it safe to run that kinda boost. Go zorst and filter to free up the airflow which itself will give you a slight increase in boost naturally, then turn up to say 10psi with a bleed valve, and then hold out for a cooler and computer/piggy back once thats done to correct the richness and allow you to get the most out of it.

You obviously did not read my post.

The turbo is a steel rear wheel VL turbo with a T4 front wheel.

It has a upgraded intercooler (Supra round core) & CAI setup with K&N

Ive got a boost cut fuel cut defender Turbo smart that I want to install. I just want to know if the standard computers mixtures would still be OK at 15 PSI!!!!

So no one has done mods to their car and kept the standard computer ?!?

not many do, for these sorts of reasons

basically no.. its not going to run 15psi without u installing at least some type of electronic management - thats like double the maximum boost the stock ECU is expecting, never mind the different turbo and its different characteristics.

Your cheapest way out is the SAFC $550 fit it yourself and the tune is $50-100, as far as the fuel cut defender goes I havn't got one (at 12psi though) can't say what would happen at 15psi. Best thing to do is put it on a dyno and check what your A/F ratio is now.

i was running 18psi on an aftermarket turbo with an apexi speed cut also i had a variable(homemade)afm signal adjuster which also double as cold start injectors emulator. don't think u can buy one of these, but it was good for 18psi on a gt28 with external wastegate, so yes it can be done, but u need lots of patience.

    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5鈥檚 did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 馃え馃お
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
