hey guys, i'm new to these forums although i've been basically looking on here every day for the past week or two..

=)

just wanted to ask you guys, i've recently just got a new RB25DET engine put in my r33 stocker. boost put to .9bar

she boosts okay to about .5 but after that til .9 she loses boost, like a leak or something.

im not to sure. just wanted to ask you guys at what kind of problem i should be looking at, or where to start looking??

whether it be the turbo, the vacum lines or even the fmic + piping.

any help would be awesome! thanks yew

Well 1bar is 14psi - this is not safe. Nor is .9bar IMO.

I'd be backing it off a little bit yet to be honest for ultimate reliability.

Sounds like you just need a better actuator, and check everything related to the current one (vac lines, cooler piping for leaks, split hoses etc)

I a bog stock turbo, I wouldn't bother, someone that knows what they are doing needs to adjust [probably bend] your actuator arm, if the turbo is hiflowed etc then it would be worth it to get an adjustable one, otherwise I'd save my $$$and just get a better turbo or hiflow to start with.

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
