Wow.. i thought it was really rare to still have a boost restrictor still in place. I heard they have a yellow band around the hose where the restrictor is.. did yours have this and is it obvious? Where was the hose?

I dont think you will have any problems. Ive got a 32gtr and i couldnt find this boost restrictor so I assume its gone and car runs perfectly fine. To my understanding, the car was designed to run the full boost anyways and it was just one of the ways to reduce the power to 206kw for japan. saying this.. im not a trusted source of info so maybe someone else can confirm

I had a search here and basically everything i said was wrong.

Im assuming now that my restrictor is still in there somewhere. I might look for it tonight.

So yeh, running more boost means your giving the turbos a tougher time. You dont want your turbos to shit themselves thought as the debris from a rooted exhaust wheel could damage your engine.

from memory there are two hoses coming off the "boost soleiniod"

about an inch down from the soleiniod on one of the hoses was a yellow band of paint (0.5cm thick),

i squeezed it and could feel something solid was in there,

took me 5mins and i am no good with cars

It dose seem to make a VERY loud rush of air sound at boost.

dont know how normal that is

I will take it to cruz this week and get some more advice

that is if no one knows what i mean about the sound

yep thats the hose to pull the olive out of and always will give you a dead accurate 14.5 psi, the turbos are fine on that boost if they arnt in to bad condition, just make sure if you have a computer to get it tuned

If i only have the stock computer will i have problems with the engine running lean

yeh... but now with 14.5 psi, things might be different.

maybe the fuel pump isn't up to the task?

I was mainly refering to the thread owners.

but if you have gone from 10 - 14.5psi, it's be worth re-checking surely.

it's not like it's cheap to build these rb26's... even to stock level...

$50 is cheap insurance and piece of mind.

if I ever get an RB26 powered car, it will defeinitely have a compression check, leak down test, all new fluids, new plugs, and a dyno run.

a little outlay up front but good cheap (in the grand scheme of things) insurance.

OK dyno is booked for AUG 1st (he will do all combinations of equip eg with out boost restricter, put boost restricter back in and combos with anything else getting put in) so i will post results incase people are interested

It was also mentioned to me that changing the cam sprockets

would be a good AND gentle mod to perform

What say ye SAU

nah man it's just the GTRs i think

my R32 GTSt and GTS4 don't

R33's done either, they do have a solanoid you can put a switch on though and run higher boost at lower rpms(33s have a controller to run 7psi at below 4000 i think it is, then switch to 10psi or whatever it is standard)

you could also look out for a bleed tap, there is an article in the DIY section i think about a ball valve type bleed valve, which is meant to be an excellent controller :) and a lot of people have thrown away(well sold) there electronic ones and replaced it with the tap, it only costs round $22 as well :D

the main problem you will face now is keeping your license intact...enjoy! Standard turbs will last fine on 12psi (except maybe extended track use)

niggah wot?

i spent 2 years thrashing my standard turbo 32 GT-R at just over 15psi (including 4 track days) and it was still going strong, lol

I removed my boost restrictor almost 2 yrs ago, runs 14-15psi (up from11) and no dramas. power jumped from 198-230rwkw with just addition of apexi panel filter and removal of restrictor.

So no aftermarket computer ? When you run it on a dyno were the fuel mixtures within range?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
