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.

just go get a maunual boost controller for ya local rev head store and you can safly wind her up to 11-12psi if you got a front mount really limits of the stock turbos rear wheel, there is a thred in diy on installation of a manual boost controller

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
