Hey all.

since i put my splitfires, the boost creeps up to like 15psi(i back off staight away) in every gear.... so to try and remedy it, yesterday i took off the solenoid, blocked the pipe, and connected the w/g actuator to a positive pressure souce(at the J pipe)..

took it for a spin, was a bit better but come 4.5k + and it went up to 15psi or just under...

Now my bets on the dump pipe... why.. cos i think the flapper isnt able to open fully at WOT. which also explains why i didnt get boost creep before, as it was misfiring and not enough gases to flow through.

So now im looking for a dump pipe... what do you guys use? a good one..?

or any input as to why i could be getting boost creep?

I'm in a similar position to you. I've just installed a turbotech boost controller and I'm hitting the same level of boost as you even on the lowest possible setting. Starting to suspect it might be my new split dump pipe (JJR type) but I'm really only guessing at this stage. Hope it's not that, I thought most people used these without a problem.

I am having the opposite problem with my stock turbo (R33 S1), I set my boost controller to hold roughly 12psi but the boost drops off to 10 psi (4.5k+). Even if I have it set to 14psi initially it will still fall off to 10psi. :)

to the 2nd poster, make sure you have it connected the right way and also your setup with the charcoal canister is correct... i had the exact same problem as you as soon as i installed my intercooler it would stay at about 15psi even at the lowest possible setting... it turned out that it wasnt connected properly, so when we bypassed the canister to check if it was the setup that was wrong, it worked

just a thought

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
