forget the term boost jet and call it what it actually is. A "Restrictor"

its a small piece of steel tube that is fittted snuggly inside the actuator supply line from the manifold.

it has a smaller hole in the middle approx 2.5 - 3mm compared to the 6mm rubber line.

im running one in conjunction with my PFCBC and a 18psi actuator and i have no issues controlling boost up to 27psi.

ramps onto boost hard, and then stays within 1psi to redline.

and just to clarify an earlier remark in regards to increasing boost can make it come on sooner.

if your target level is close or just past your actuator tension, then your internal gate flap will allready be opening before you reach your target boost as to control the clime in pressure. If you were to run a heavier actuator and run higher boost then the flap will stay completely shut for longer causing it to ramp up harder and earlier.

not 1000rpm sooner but certainly 100 - 300rpm sooner.

What I do is I start with a brass t piece. Solder the third leg closed. Then I use my micro drill bits used for drilling electronics like printed circuit boards. I just start drilling bigger until I get the right boost. Either that, or start big and solder it and go smaller.

soldering the brass is very easy. that way you don't have to keep buying nozels.

the t piece costs like $2.

It works without an aftermarket ecu. Just get rid of the stock solenoid.

Either that, or get a jaycar iebc and use it to control the solenoid (and use a restrictor to control the boost level).

The jaycar iebc will allow you to have the quickest possible boost build and best control over the boost curve compared to any ebc out there.

my gtr runs a Tee'd off little peice of silicone hose with a utilux bullet head clamped inside with a hole in the end. 13 psi.

Now thats a cheap ass controller!

"Clamped" Huh

look like zip ties to me.

back yard racing FTW.. lol

mine is an internal restricor inside the feed line. i dont have a T peice.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
