hey guys i got the car tuned today but on the dyno graph the psi is droping from 14psi to 11psi is this normal i got a gizzmo boost controller and the setting is on 56 duty cycle and the gain is 0 would it be my wastegate and also its a highflow gcg turbo

What boost controler you using because it sounds like its spiking then going back to stock boost

From what I've seen of those controllers they are quite shit!! If an EBC has no PI or PID based boost control then you may as well just use a bleed valve. From memory you set the boost from a base duty cycle not an actual desired boost pressure so there is probably no brains behind it anyway.

You could try setting the gain to a higher value but it probably wont work anyway. If it is possible which I dont think it is you could check the duty cycle on the valve to see if its attempting to control the boost. As has allready been said it may be a mechanical restriction.

I had a similar problem and discovered the wastegate arm was hitting the bracket that holds the heat cover because the new dump had a thinner flange.This prevented the wastegate from opening fully and capping boost to 15psi.Anthing over and boost would spike all over the place.However,the duty cycle could be lowered then turn up gain til it spikes then back off a little.

yeh the tuner said it could be my wastegate BUT i found the problem, because i have an aftermarket intercooler the new piping didnt give me a nipple for the powersteering vacum so i T pieced it off the boost controller vacum so iv removed the T piece and now it doesnt drop boost it holds 14-15 nice feels faster as well

go to like super cheap or repco and buy an air compressor fitting. they thread and can easily be drilled and screwed into the cooler pipe. plus add some sealant around it and ur done.

should look like this hen done

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
