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.

mate it wont run 10psi it will run 6-7psi upto 4 grand then jump up to 14 psi after that, itook my boost controler out i thought it may have been that and now iam running standard boost controler, but it just wont hold boost after 4 grand

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.

well changed the actuator no luck, put a 3 inch dump pipe on aswell earlier in the week made heaps of difference until the boost problem any ideas please its really starting to p**s me off, or would it b best to buy a different turbo, if i go that way i would to geta highflowed item.

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.

hey guys this is problem a dumb question but wen we installed the front mount the problems started so we were thinkn that we might have the intercooler around the wrong way??? is this possible that the flow is not wroght or doesnt it matter??? cheers thanks

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?

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
