i have a gtst r33, series 1 skyline. wondering the best route to go to turn up the boost on the stock snail. i was told the greddy profec requires an hks fuel cut eliminator....

is there a boost controller that takes care of raised fueling needs?

i feel like a total retard going from high comp NA hondas to boosted nissans.

thanks for the help.

How is the condition on your turbo? Stock or Aftermarket?

I think R33 have ceramic internals for their turbos, so don't go too hard.

If you got aftermarket turbo you can go a bit more boost.

Then you might need a front mount intercooler.

I don't have much experiance with boost controllers, but Im sure the big brands like APexi, Blitz and HKS will do a good job.

Ppl then might say you need a APexi Power FC to map out your air / fuel mixtures.

turbo should be ok, car has very low miles. im not looking to get ridiculous. i am getting a FMIC in a week, thats why i am asking, because i know with a front mount, i am going to get a pressure drop.

i guess stock is something like 4psi to 8psi dual stage(you guys use metrics?) and im lookin for i guess something like 12psi on the stock turbo with a front mount.

that should hold me over til i pick up a atermarket manifold, turbo and external wastegate.

If you get the correct size intercooler, boost lost should be a problem, I don't think..?

BTW ppl talk about removing the boost restricter in the hose going to the boost solenoid... There is talk about this on GTR's but have a look at the GTS-T.

The restricter is a little cylender inside the hose with a smaller diametre in resulting in a boost restriction. Squeeze the cylender out and plug the hose back in and you should get a Factory Safe Boost Increase.

I haven't found any solid evidance to prove this and best is to ask your mechanic.

Someone might wanna clear this up for me...

No boost restrictors in 33 gtst's that I know of.

They do run a dual-stage solenoid though. Have a look in the DIY section there should be an easy mod to make it run 7psi all the time instead of 5psi then 7psi. After you've done that get a Turbotech manual boost controller and wind it up to 12psi.

She'll be right mate.

this is the route im going, i ditched the little hose from the boost solenoid to the "t" fitting with the restrictor in it, by passed the coolant hose thru the throttlebody and tonight i am ditching the dual boost gimmick, looking for a manual boost controller and a boost gauge tonight as well. that should give me enough kick in the ass until i put a top mount, garret, FMIC.

thanks for the help.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
