hey all

prob a stupid question and been answered a million times b4 but i still wana ask.

my r33 is completely stock apart from catback exhaust, bov and K&N pod

ive read in a few places that in a stock condition, they have a dual stage boost with max at 7psi. but wen i put my foot down, on the stock boost gauge, the needle does not shift past the halfway mark, around 3.5-4 psi.

i dont really understand this so any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Jaye

The stock guage on your dash isn't in PSI, it's in mmHg. That +7 reading right at the top is the equivalent of about 1 BAR boost (which is around 14 PSI).

So halfway up the guage is around the 7 PSI mark, which would be correct.

That's my understanding anyway.

Another question - I remember reading somewhere that the stock boost for an R32 GTS-t is 10 PSI. Can anyone tell me if that's in fact true? It sounds high for standard boost.

yep, 10psi is the standard boost on R32s

factory boost is .7 bar thats whats on the dash

R33 factory boost is 7psi, 0.7bar is just over 10psi which is not right

Standard boost in a R33 GTS-t is 5psi untill 4500rpm then changes to 7psi to redline. This is controlled by the ECU and standard boost controller fitted to the car.

Standard boost in a R32 GTS-t is 10psi. I believe this is actuator controlled........without a standard EBC. Happy to be corrected on that.

Another question - I remember reading somewhere that the stock boost for an R32 GTS-t is 10 PSI. Can anyone tell me if that's in fact true? It sounds high for standard boost.

Not high for standard at all.

EVO's run around 19psi standard, dependant on model.

For everyones reference.

1bar = 100kPa (kilopascals) = 14.5PSI (pounds per square inch) = 750mmHg = 0.9869233 Atmosphere's

The stock R33 GTS-t gauge is actually in x100mmHg (millimeters of Mercury).

Therefore, if the highest mark is 700mmHg your halfway mark on the standard gauge is 350mmHG which is equal to 6.77PSI....rounded........ close enough to 7PSI considering the marks on the gauge are only as accurate as the smallest unit which is each quarter, off memory, and that it actually goes just over halfway when at full boost.

So that's basically an expanded version of what I said in the first reply. :) Happy to help auss13.

I didn't realise the EVOs ran such high boost from factory. I was saying that 10 was high in comparison to other Skylines as well as WRXs and such.

WRX's Last I knew ran 14psi? newer models probably vary.

I expanded on yours because the units were incorrect.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      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.
