Girgor sent me a PM today saying about this.

Anyone ever heard of this being done?

I think this is how it goes....

Open the wastegate on the turbo and the exhaust gases should go out of that instead of spinning the turbo which stops making compressed air and results in the slowing/disabling of the turbo?

Does this work?

Does it do damage to your car in any way?

What is it like when the turbo does kick in if even?

Any info would be great as I'm a little confused

Thanks

What you said is right, goes out the wastegate hole before spoolin up the turbo, just not all of it.

No damage to the car just less air going in so ECU will fuel-up as necessary.

How you would do it i don't know?

Why would you want to?

Cool, ah it's just because I'm a inexperienced drive and would rather ease the boost of rather than start off with it fully boosted. It depends if I'll do it. If I can control the power than it will be fine and I'll just leave it.

Maybe you should of purchased a different type of vehicle if your in experienced? Like said above a civic.

exactly.. shouldve bought a civic... its ppl like u (not directly u) who go and purchase hipo cars without even knowing how to drive (any monkey can steer a car, thats what driving is about) and then go and get urself killed and other ppl giving the rest of us a bad name

u should sell it, and buy a civic champ b4 u do anyone any harm

i had a problem with my boost controller where it was holding the wastegate open when you changed gears. so in the next gear you would start to get positive boost at about 5500rpm. it was gutless. there is a hill just out of town where if i boosted it from the bottom i could normally hit 100kmh by just before the top, but i was boosting up it when i first discovered the problem. i hit third at about 80kmh and no boost. by the top i had dropped back down to about 60kmh. it was a pretty steep hill.

yes disconnecting the wastegate flap will give you no boost, but it will also make the car completely gutless. it would be like driving a natro that has done about 1,000,000kms and is due for a rebuild.

if you are really worried just disconnect the high boost solenoid. but it standard form they aren't that much of a handfull. i went from a manual magna to a stock manual 33 and was rather dissapointed. i thought it would actually notice a decent performance difference but i didn't. it wasn't until i started modding it that it actually seemed to have any go.

its just mate if u cant control the wow of a R33 gtst which in my opinion is a gutless overweight barge like all R33 then u have issues with driving.. how old r u..?

but having the GTST will make u learn quicker.. now try holding the right down at full sing in a GTR around a 40kph corner in 2nd.. and that is where ur schooling takes effect.

lol.

Yes, replace the actuator spring with something that opens at 0psi and then use a boost controller of some sort to make it run more boost when you want it. It won't damage the car - with no extra air going through the AFM the ECU will still find itself within its standard parameters. It might throw up error codes if it notices that its not boosting when it should, but in a pure "mechanical failure" perspective it should cope with being run permanently off-boost.

Of course, your car will drive like shit. You need to run a certain amount of boost to make up for the intake restriction that is the compressor and intercooler piping. The engine would run worse than NA if you set the wastegate actuator to open at 0psi. Couple that with the taller final drive from a car set up to expect more midrange, and you'll get something that even a Camira driver will think is slow.

But, as other people have said, if you don't think you can drive a turbo car then don't. You had another thread trying to get some kind of electronic speed limiter, and now you're trying to un-boost a turbo car. Have you considered that the common thread (and the easiest thing to replace) in all of your car-related problems is, well, you and your choice of vehicle?

not only the added restriction of the turbo and the cooler but the lower compression of the turbo motor. at 0psi boost even at 5000rpm they couldn't pull a drunk sailor off your sister.

just take off the hig boost solenoid, leaving it at 5psi. if the car is only stock and at 5psi you won't be much quicker than a commodore. if that is too much power then i can sell you a push bike.

I've always wondered about that phrase.

Considering how long he's been out at sea with only his hand for company, I reckon it'd be really hard to pull a lonely guy on shore leave off any piece of skirt that showed an interest and a pulse.....

And yeah, I forgot about the compression ratio thing.

yeah i always wondered too. it is a bit like "cheap at half the price"........ most things are cheap at half the price.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
