K, i just fitte dmy new T3/4 turbo to my R33, and i must say it was extremely impressive. However it seems to be that no matter what i am running aorund the 13psi mark... is that because it has a 13psi actuator spring maybe? Cos i have a turbosmart boost controller and it still seems to run that same boost level no matter what. The thing that is different on this turbo to the stock R33 one is that the line from the wastegate actuator connects onto the compressor housing and the boost controller t-pieces out of this, with the stock turbo the wastegate actuator line runs to the intake piping via the standard boost controller. Is it becuase i am by-passing the factory boost controller that it is no longer limited regardless of the turbosmart bc i have? Cos i really want to turn it down a notch to around 10psi if i can but not sure how to run it back through the stock bc.

Also it seems that i have rediculous flutter lol it is very loud and goes for ages, i'm talken like 15 secs if i hold it there under load when i back off. Is this okay? It seems to be the BOV aswell fluttering and doesn't really sound like its all compressor surge. What could it be causing this flutter ot be so big and will it cause damage?

Any help will be great.

your new turbo may have a 13psi actuator fitted to it, this can be varified by running a hose from the actuator to the comp housing on the turbo but first remove your turbosmart boost controller. If the boost is steady on 13psi your turbo has a 13psi actuator. If this is the case re-connecting the factory boost control will not lower the boost level. It is quite safe to run 13psi through these engines as they run extremely rich with the stock ecu (so rich that it can cause the engine to loose power at high boost levels)

cheers

Thnx heaps dude, that is how i got it running at the moment, i have the hose running from actuator to the comp housing and the boost controller t-pieces out of that line, so i might just remove it and run it at 13psi i think. Only thing is it runs a lot smoother with the boost controller than without, doesn't seem to be jerky boost so i might leave it on for that reason.

So 'mort' you think my O2 sensor could be shyte? That'd explain the dodgy reading on my autometer air/fuel gauge aswell... very unstable reading on that... cos i get around 350-360 a tank and that was before the new turbo, it seems to use slightly less now aswell weirdly? Not sure, but yeah.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
