ok help

where do i start, R33GTR had; power FC, pods, exhaust, camgears....great fun, loose traction a bit, nice low down power

wanted more power, now im running; big 115 FMIC, LINK G4 no AFM's, 770, profect b, custom dumps, nismo pump, and one of the most talked about subject 2860-5's, everything new.

320awkw, tuned for torque, 7200 RPM limit, 18lbs.

got the car back and really miss my low down power. i realise these turbos a more for mid-upper top end power now, but i didnt think they would be this laggy, i think now i should have gone for the -7's? dam

questions; turbos are making the 'cho cho noise' the whole time, not on deaceleration, or holding throttle, like my old ones(standard) did, but now when accelerating, sounds like they are fighting each other, irratating.

engine light on, on full boost

ticking noise from turbos when boost starts to come on (internal wastegates?)

i know these turbos are for around 350-400AWKW, but i dont want to crank the boost, destroy the engine but the car feels so lifeless, will uping boost give me a lil more low down power? or go to the -7's?

good news which i will post in gearbox seaction, HKS twin plate, light weight flywheel, real easy to use, no stalling easy as!

when i started these mods about 1 year ago didnt know anything about modding these cars, so went on my mechanics advice, so please no lectures :P

my mechanic is 550km away so any help would be great on the noises

cheers

Thats really strange; I would have said your clutch was slipping but having read you got a twin plate.....

sounds like the engine isnt using the boost so the intake system is pressurising like if you were closing the throttlebody. Might indicate a blockage; maybe oil in the intercooler, badly dialed in intake cam gear??

hey, i did tell him to leave stock BOV's, but he said they where leaking/not holding pressure? sorry dont no what BOV he put in but said they where holding pressure, piping no not stock, all custom made intake etc

both

ive talked to all the best gtr tuners in our lovely country for my big power app and they all say the same thing.

Stock piping and stock bovs are the best way to go on a gtr... changing the piping will unfortunately increase turbo shuffling.

if u want to minimise it, got back to stock bovs n stock piping.

Ben from RacePace even laughed when i suggested that i wanted to run all hks piping from afms all the way to the plenum... stock is best :D

crap i wanted it all left stock aye, would going back to a stock new GTR BOV help shuffle a bit??????? i think it is onlr running one BOV too? does this sound right?

going back to stock will help.

ben explained to me that the reason by the stock bovs r the best ones for the job is because they are one of the few bovs that actually stay open under light throttle which apparently help to minimise shuffling

just reading in the 'search" seaction some peopls saying BOV's arent the main problem, maybe advance the timing?

im just going by what one of the best gtr tuners are saying. thats all

if u wanna take someone else word over his, thats cool :D

just letting u know what he told me... im running a pair of 2871r's -10's so theyre rather large twins and thats the best way for me to minimise shuffling.

just so know u.. im a mechanic and timing wont do anything to avoid shuffling... its about the turbos producing boost @ different stages.. thats it...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
