ok lets see

ive tried unsuccessfully trying to up the boost by cutting the lower hose on the solenoid and fitting a dodgy bunnings bleed valve to the hose from the T peice and blocked off the hose connecting to boost solenoid.

i want to get rid of that damn vtec styles boost control where it hits 5psi straight and then hits 7psi when it reaches past 5000rpm

my friend suggest unplugging both hoses from the boost solenoid and T peicing them together and then attaching a bleed valve from that and unplug the boost solenoid.

would this work? worst thing that could happen is unlimited psi.

LOL

Firstly unplug the stock boost solenoid and forget about it!

then get whatever cheap dodgy bleed valve u want and plug the hose coming from the turbo wastegate to one side and the hose coming from the cooler piping into the other. Then u can play with the boost.

w00t!!

thanks inasnt

nah this dodgy bunnings style bleed valve is pretty reliable

well its supposed to be

do i unplug the bleed valve from the ecu or leave it connected?

and im only doing 10psi

nothing dangerous

the bleed valve isent plugged into the ecu.

Once u take the tube from the turbo actuator off the stock solenoid, it wont work anymore anyway. U have to plug the bleed valve in the right direction from the ic piping to the actuator! A proper bleed valve will have an arrow indicating the direction, but u will have to experiment!!

U sure your wheels aint gonna fall off again??? hahahaha

i told u to do that man last week.. geez

here is how it works

intake side ---> bleed valve --> wastegate

done, its as simple as that.. remove stock boost solenoid and throw in bin (actually don't do that).. but u don't need it.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
