I followed the house from the boost soloinoid and find that it has 1 restrictor then if another house after the restrictor which continues on also has a restrictor. do i need to remove both?

i have attached a pic thanks

i don't think there should be restrictors in there as they would lower the fuel pressure.

there shouldn't be a boost solenoid in that line. if it is an EBC the map sensor can go on that hose, but not the solenoid. that should be on the line to the wastegate.

yep, that one is the factory boost restrictor. why do you want to remove it?

it wont get you higher boost. its there to regulate the pressure, so you dont get spikes. if you were to replace that restrictor with a more restrictive one, that would get you higher boost. ppl call them boost jets.

if you're running a boost controller, then you should remove it, otherwise leave it.

Interesting Munkyb0y...

I would have thought you'd get an extra 0.1 - 0.2 Bar or so...

I was thinking about doing this on my GTR but I questioned it to my mechanic and he said don't do it either. "No such thing as cheap Horse Power" as he believes.

When you say "to regulate the pressure, so you dont get spikes", is that also to stop the car from 'over boosting' itself? And save your turbo(s) from blowing up?

Thats just what i read on antoher topic on the forum that it will increase boost, so I wanted to try.

no it wont overboost, the solenoid controls that

it just makes the boost more linear, rather than surging.

if you think about it, a boost jet, which is a restrictor, placed in that line will hide some of the pressure from the wastegate, and allow the wastegate to stay closed longer, therefore reaching higher boost.

so removing this restrictor wont increase your boost.

edit: this is all useless with the stock boost solenoid, because that controls the boost in the end.

I too have heard about that and my have posted in that thread, cuz I read there is Boost restricter in the hoses. Its like a small cylinder that you can squeeze out then plug the hose back in.

I read that the hose has a small yellow marking, indicating that there is the restrictor and when removed, you can have a Safe Factory Boost increase. But I have not found any solid evidance of this and Iam not willing to try it.

try it. just replace that restricted hose with a regular silicone hose. see what happens. who knows, i might be wrong. but i'm fairly sure max boost wont change while youre using the stock solenoid. btw this is for R33. i'm not familiar with the r32 and gtr setup.

I see, that makes sense.

Best leave then. Thanks.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
