Hey,

I'm just having a few problems I can't seem to get the car to boost past stock boost. 0.4 - 0.5 bar. Any ideas why? I've recently added a Exhaust and a Intercooler and had a SAFC2 fitted, but yet to be tuned.

Current mods are: K & N Pod Filter, Custom Pod Enclosure, Cold Air Intake, Forged Pistons, Strengthen Conrods, Blueprinted, Balanced, Port Polished, Metal Head gasket, Spitfire Coils, High Performance Timing Belt, High Performance Spark Plugs, Gready Turbo Timer, Front Mount Intercooler, Apexi 3” Cat-Back Exhaust, SAFC2, Bleed Valve, 0.8 (12PSI) Bar Boost if I can find out whats going on

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aron

sounds like there could be a small leak somewhere.. check all hoses & clamps etc.

Just done that, went over the whole car every hose I could see I checked and tightened - still no luck?

what type of bleed valve is it... turbo smart ones are setup like this .... Wastegate <----- Boost T <------ Pressure Source.

I have it on my car and it works great, 90 dollars for a boost T but I think its the best one since it has not been troublesome in the least and its been boosting a bit quicker than the stock solenoid could let the car previously

could be a leaking exhaust manifold

I put the exhaust on myself recently, cat back only maybe the bolts are a touch lose? Could that cause it?

It's a TurboTech one

boost is a measure of resistance to the air pressure in the plenum .. with a port polished head it may be that you are indeed pushing more through your turbo than previously without the resistence in the head/plenum increasing

I was running 0.8BAR (12PSI) a few weeks ago, but removed the bleed valve until I got the exhaust and intercooler done.

    • 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)?
