hey just installed a greddy copy plenum...went on ok but 1st drive.............. feels very responsive in first if you floor 1st and hit second i get heaps of lag and if you go third even worse.....4800rpm in 3rd boost still climbing.......but if you jst cruise in third and wind it out progresively putting the throttle down it boosts fine hits full boost by 3600rpm ...i have plumbed the wastegate actuator into a nipple on the plenum itself...it has got a long hose to get arond the motor...i am changing it when i got time to add a nipple to my pipeing turbo side.......so do you think the lengthy hose may be a problem....i????or maybe the feed for the wastegate from plenum is no good??? bleed valve maybe??? i dont know whats your thoughts.....????? take so long to build boost after gear change ...oh and the blow off valve is now mounted on the pipe straight after the turbo ( the metal one)

like the garden hose for pipe?????

its getting changed tommorow when i get to auto shop...its the acc valve feed line.....

anything wrong you can point out to me would be great

cheers

mitch..........

can you hear an air leak anywhere? either between the manifold and the head or the throttle body and the plenum. thats what ive got my $ on.

were the surfaces machined flat?

yeah gaskets and aviation quailty gasket goo...i thought boost leak but it always hits hard in 1st like is great but its only once you changed it takes to long to build boost....plenum suface was machined from factory it was flat... put straight edge on it....and sat it on a machined surface was not warped or bent......so i thought maybe not boost leak because in first i have no probs.....im thinking something with waste gate maybe.......

im putting a nipple jst after compressor housing...to see if it helps....

block off the standard bov????? ya reckon???

its plumbed back like standard again ..bt yeah got a turbosmart boost t witch i think is the culpret....i adjst it and boost dont change so hmmmmmmm

if i was running entirely off the wastegate actuator no beed...what boost should i see......like 5 psi maybe ????

Well its more than likely going to be resulting from whatever you changed/touched.

So go over every single part that you touched, and check its connected/together/not leaking.

If you touched a hose clamp, make sure its done up etc etc.

Until you go over everything and triple check your work, its going to be hard to say as boost can leak from anywhere

First thing is first check for any vacuum/boost leaks and the usuall as everybody has stated.

If you are using a after market ecu it may require a tune as you have changed the induction .

Just like when you install a new larger turbo . If you where running std crossover intake pipe and went to the side mount plenum you are changing all you volicity and dynamics of how the engine receives it air. You are going from a long runner setup to a short runner set up.

I may be wrong but it's just a thought..

hey problem solved...dont ask how....was going to block bov to see if its positon so close to the turbo was an issue....so instead of blocking it i thought i would just take the air line going to it off...so thats what i did..went for a drive no difference in the lag.....so i went home put air line back on went for a drive ...now it dosent lag between gear changes....and my boost is settled down not unpredictable...

so i dont really know what changed but its all good....went for a drive with The Mafia in his car yesturday...anyone who doubts what he has done i will vouch for him his car is a monster nice and stock looking but geez!!! made my car feel like a hyundai!!! MORE POWER!!! very quick

cheers for you imput

Have you made sure your throttle cable is at the correct length?

Sometimes after plenum installs the throttle cable is too long, the butterfly will not open 100% even though you have your foot to the floor.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
