R33 Gtr Boost Restrictor

[justin911]

hey ppls

wheres the boost restrictor in a 33 gtr ? i just wana see if its still there. From my searching i think im looking for a pipe with a yellow ring around it.. ? and its meant to be near the strut / pcm valve thingy ?

cause ya i dont see anything in that area or anywhere that looks like a boost solenoid (like a gtst one im assuming).

i can see 2 pipes with yellow rings but there going into the fuel stuff so i dont think its them.

ive attached a pic

thanks

Just wondering what you mean by boost restrictor? Also wondering what that "PCM valve" is. I thought that valve was the factory boost control solenoid. The reason I ask is because I am not running it anymore and it seems like my 26 is overboosting. It will easily boost past 14 psi and I dont know where it would stop since I have been taking it easy since i noticed it. Just wondering if there is any connection or if one or both of my wastegates is just messed up. Not trying to thread jack just trying to get some info. Any help would be great.

im not 100% either but there meant to run a stock solenoid to control the boost. and i think theres a little restrictor thingy in one of the pipes.

the thing the left of the fuel filter ses "pcm" on it.. dunno wat it does tho..

Go to your boost control solenoid - the cylinder laying on its side with the gold band and mount near your drivers side strut tower. Pull back the protective cover on the pipe going towards the front of the car attached to the top of the boost control solenoid.

If you feel down that pipe about 50mm you should feel a hard section near the yellow painted ring. There's the restrictor.

Cheers

Lucky guess?

I'm fairly sure the yellow lines on hoses are to indicate there is a restrictor inside?

Yep, thats the solenoid.
