hey guys i got a r33 i have a problem wen the revs get to 4 grand the boost jumps up to 13-14 psi and cuts out and plays up until redline, up until 4 grand it runs 6-7 psi no problems, i did have a bleed type boost controller on there i thought that may be the problem but its not, i have recently put a front mount, pod,splitfire coil packs, new fuel filter and new plugs nothing has fixed. i tried the search option but nothing has cum with my similar problems.

what boost does it run if you hook a pipe straight from the intercooler pipe to the actuator (don't use the pipe with the restrictor in it) if it holds boost ok then your stock boost solenoid is hooked up wrong, if it doesn't you actuator is probably stuffed.

hi,

just curious ... did you gut your cat? are you running a standard cat or hi flo? as I have the same problem which started after I gutted mine and installed a JJR split dump/front pipe.

I am going to put a cat back on the system and see if that sorts it out... I think the exhaust runs too freely now and the gasses from the wastegate dont get to merge with the main pipe effectively which causes the over boosting... x fingers .. have already dropped the split dump pipe and ground out the wastegate side so waste gate opens freely so isnt that... will let you know how i get along.

Read thru this thread, might help.

If you’re running a jjr/ebay split dump/front pipe then you will have boost spike issues.

At 13-14+ psi the stock ecu will R&R anyway so it will feel like it dies after 4500rpm, you may even hit boost/fuel cut at that stage. Bleed type boost controllers have a very common problem of boost spikes, if you want steady boost I’d look for a gready EBC, apexi ect for steady boost levels.

It doesnt matter what way the intercooler pipe is.. try a good boost controller, an electric one... not apexi either a blitz, hks or greddy

could be the dump pipe but it sounds like youve had 2 dumps pipes on and the boost played up with booth?? was the first one stock?

can you chek to see if the actuator can open fully with the dump pipe on?

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
