Hi Guys,

I have just bought my first R33. Yesturday the rubber pipe broke off from the boost controll and my boost was hiting (whats looks to be) 5 on the in dash display. before i this happened the boost was only getting up too 1-2 on the display. What is the standard boost the car should run. I have also been told not to boost the stock turbos as the fins with break. :P..

The car has a boost controller but its turned all the way down.

How much would a after market turbo cost?

Thanks for the help,

Kyle

Hey buddy

Stock boost is about 7psi.

Have a read through the forced induction section of the forum, you will find heaps more info there :P

You can boost the stock turbos up to no more than 14psi which is what is recommended, but thats with supporting modifications such as FMIC and turbo back exhaust.

It should run on or around that line between 0-7, and a turbo upgrade can cost from 1-5k for something good!

I think high flow'd turbo's are around $1700 all up, but there not gonna do you any good with the stock ecu.

Thanks guys, its a good place to start. how much would a good turn cost, I was speaking to a guy on the Gold Coast and he said he spent arund $700 for a dyno turn,

What does FMIC stand for, Sorry for the stupid questions but im new and its the best way to learn. lol

Where could i find instruction on how to hock up a boost gague.

Thanks in advance.

You'll need either a piggyback ecu or replacement ecu to be able to "tune" anything at all. Otherwise the most you'll be able to do is adjust ignition timing which is hardly worth paying that much money for.

A good dyno tune will normally cost around a minimum of $150 just for the tune. The $700 you mentioned would have included extra stuff, and maybe tuning more than one thing. I've only had a Apexi SAFC piggyback tuned which isn't that hard so cant give you a good estimate for say a full replacement ecu sorry.

FMIC is Front Mount InterCooler. You should be able to find some good info on these forums by using the search button... :P

there is a small nozzle on the back right hand side of the engine (if you're facing forwards, or left if you're at the front of the car looking in the engine bay) - it has a small rubber thing on it to block it off - you just remove the rubber stop and connect your boost guage hose to that nozzle. as for mounting it etc. well thats a bit more difficult and entirely up to you...

generally, if you're not sure, get a friend or workshop to do it...I'm kinda in the same boat as far as my technical ability. I know how to do fairly simple stuff but I'm no mechanic. :(

Oh, and stock boost is 5psi up to 4500rpm where it increases to ~7 psi. But if you've replaced the stock boost solenoid with a boost controller you'll probably want to set it anywhere between 7 and 10psi but no higher than 10 to protect the stock turbo. If the turbo shatters (which it will at anything around 14psi) it'll cost more than just a replacement turbo...

Like others have said, to make an aftermarket turbo worthwhile, you'll need to spend around $5K including the turbo itself...and maybe more to get the best from it...

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
