Hey macka that's a good result and saves you heaps of $$$ not having to go external, even with the stock turbo and a Profec b I have to turn the balance knob all the way over to sharp as well as selecting the overboost setting on the back just to stop the boost from continually rising with rpm's, so you've done well.

Hey macka im in the same boat as you after my rebuild i have creaping boost i was told by one person that it could be that when the engine was put together that the ex cam could be retarded what ever that means does anyone know if that could cause boost to rise. anyway i hope that its just the wastgate actuator that is stuffed i got a new one today and i will fit it on the weekend. I will let you know how i get on

IMHO, it sounds like your wastegate is too small and the quick fix approach that you have taken, whilst being inventive, cheap and innitially effective has only lasted a while due to additional stress on the factory wastegate and actuator arm/spring.

If your turbo has been hi-flowed/different wheels installed then it is pushing out more air etc. If the additional pressure/volume is too much for the standard wastegate to get rid of, your boost will rise as if the wastegate were partially closed. Remember, the wastegate is there to get rid of additional boost pressure.

** Imagine you have a 10mm Nylon garden hose. You have always pumped water (air) @ 5psi through this hose (turbo) as that's all the nozzle (wastegate) on the end will allow. The water supply (exhaust gas) however is making much more than 5psi pressure. If you hi-flow the hose to 12mm, you would expect additional water (air) to flow through at a higher pressure but if you still have a nozzle (wastegate) allowing only 5psi there HAS to be an increase in pressure on the water side (inlet side) of the equation. **

Basically you have increased the amount of air that is flowing through to your motor. The wastegate that regulates the AMOUNT of air delivered to the motor is being forced to work too hard with too much air being forced out it before it gets a chance to reach the motor with the unfortunate side-affect that some of this air does. This is where your increasing boost is coming from as you get up in the rev range. I would suggest that it will get gradually worse as time goes on and the additional stress takes it's toll on the turbo components.

The addition of a helper spring will help to the extent of allowing the wastegate to open sufficiently to allow this excess air to be released from the system but will obviously only work as far as the standard wastegate can go. Ultimately, get an external wastegate.

Sorry for the vague and incomprehensible analogy. It's all i could come up with @ 4:31am...

Cheers.

In some cases part of highflowing a turbo is to increase the size of the wastegate port so it can sustain the higher volume of air being passed through it, thus holding boost preasures down.

I'd say this was either not done, or it was done but the increase in flow has exceeded the capabilities of even the modified wastegate.

Did you pull both actuator springs to feel the difference?

I gotta try something its driving me crazy, hey Brett (PSI) told me i need a new Fuel pump as well he didnt tune my car went on friday and put on dyno, so still have a few things to sort out.

whens yours getting tinkered with?

Im going out to see jeff from C-red tonight we are doing a deal for some Sard 550 injectors once they are in i will get the tune up i dont think it will need alot just change the fuel map a bit.I was thinking last week that it all should be ready for the drags by the end of this week but it looks like it will be more like 3 weeks away but it will be worth the wait:uh-huh:

well thats just the thing i dont know?

I guess the dyno says its leaning up top but isnt that what a safc is for to enrichen or lean it out? He just looked at dyno and said need new fuel pump?

I should hope i dont have to change my whole fuel lines that sounds very costly!

mm fuel filter maybe but i think im clutching..

KillerT u bastard i want those injectors :uh-huh:

what about my other questions?

I think Hendo is playing it safe with your car Macka it would be a shame to lean it out and pop a piston.Did brett do a few runs on the dyno because you can see if its your fuel pump or not. If it is your a/f mix will get leaner with each run well mine did anyway:confused: and as for the new actuator they felt about the same i think my old ones diaphram had a hole in it or something :eek:

Guys, I've had the same problem, running the std turbo but with full exhaust, r34 gtt stock intercooler and slightly more boost.

I find that boost creeps up when stretching gears above around 4500 rpm. Please read my thread.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=20562

any suggetions as to what is causing it? could it be my split pipe dump pipe? (the wastegate pipe is around 35mm internal diameter)

things to consider:

It doesn't seem to do it as much when the stock boost solenoid is hooked up?

It became noticeable when I fit the dump pipe.

It became worse when i fit the r34 gtt intercooler (more flow up top?)

My turbo is standard

only want to run around 11psi

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
