hey guys,

picked up a highflow for a decent price so chucked it on around november last year. had it freshened up with new seals and new compressor wheel as old one was eroded . took it for a tune and set the bleed valve to 12 psi and it was boost creeping to 17 psi at 7000 rpm. was running a 2 1/2 inch split pulse dump pipe into a nismo 3" font pipe, had read on forum that the split pulse dumps caused boost creep so modded my split dump and changed it to a bell mouth. chucked it back on dyno and still going to 17psi. pulled off turbo again and machined out waste gate from 24mm to 28mm (exhaust wheel hole size off 52mm) this was a 36% increase in surface area. putt the turbo back on and still went to 17 psi. i have finally taken off the 2 1/2 " dump and front and fitted a 3" front dump pipe hoping to drop the pressure in the exhaust and get better flow but alas it is still doing it. cant think of anything else that can cause the problem. got in contact with the guy who had it before and he had it running on 14psi ok. any ideas anyone!!!!!!!!

modds as follows

safc2

stock injectors

nismo fuel reg

walbro fuel pump

full 3" exhaust

FMIC

thanks

Eric

Hey bud, was it doing this before you put the turbo on?

I had a similar issue with my stock turbo, i had a turbotech boost tap and it would creep up to around 15psi. I finally pulled it off and put the stock solenoid on and it holds boost fine..

Where have you tee'd off the tap? tried a differend tap? u using the same diameter hoses??

i had no problems with the stock turbo, i had it set to 12 and would drop back to 10, i am using a GFB bleed valve, i removed the bleed valve and run a straight through hose so it would go to wastegate pressure of 7 psi but is still going to 17 only a bit slower. not sure if a EBC will make a difference. using standard tapping point

When it starts to creep, do you actually FEEL the extra power? or does it go no where, ie no extra pull? Get what i mean?

Just a wild suggestion but have you checked your base timing? i had a very similar thing where my timing was retarded by 3 degrees.. set it to 15 and it helped with the creep issue ALOT.

does your car have a stock solenoid?? if so try running through there and see if it creeps??

Do you have a cat? After i took my cat out the boost went from holding perfectly at 12psi to creaping over 14 and thats with one of the best boost controllers you can get. But after playing round with the gain setting its all good again. So my advice is to get a good model EBC and set it up right.

I reckon you have a split in one of the hoses, acting like a bleed valve. Check them all for splits / holes.

I had(have) the same problem with my std turbo, i had a big long post written but my computer failed on me , so ill keep this one a lil shorter :cool: . i put a op6 housing onto my r33 s2 turbo after having massive trouble with boost spike. as i dissasembled the turbo to fit tho new rear housing i noticed that the actator shaft fouls heavily on the side of the diaphram and has a fair bit of sideways pressure on the wastegate flap. Im in the process of modifying it atm , ill let you know if it does anything :yes:

NOTE: The turbo was/is assembed correctly , if i moved the housing any further around the inlet would foul on the exh manifold.

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
