that is the way it was instaled and my thoughts on the problem are either a intercooler pipe connector has poped off or a boost line has come off some where. and its running rich and wont come onto boost at all wont idle and if you hold the pedle in at the same spot it will idle the jump 500rpm then go back to where it was and do this in perfect sequence. if anyone can comferm this or disagree with this plz tell. cheers stuart

Hey mate, if your still in the market for a turbo, Ill be selling my HKS 2530kai bolt on turbo for R33 GTST within the next week or so, reason for sale is im getting a 3076R installed. The turbo has done around 8,000km and has very little to no shaft play.. its a very responsive turbo and has great mid range power.. PM me if your interested for an inspection...

PS. in that pic above, it doesnt look like you have blocked off your stock solenoid, someone correct me if im wrong, but isnt the stock solenoid still connected to the ECU and therefore tells the ECU there is nothing connected to it and cuts out fuel (therefore the popping)?

ive added pics below of mine, the stock solenoid is sitting behind the Turbosmart T, notice i got 2 hoses still connected to the stock one and the one thats meant to go back to the wastegate is blocked off..

Hay

ok bout to put my boost t on finally and need some help,what is the safest amount of boost i should put it up to, the only thing i have got on my car is stock turbo, frount mount and 3" exhaust and its putting 183rwks so i am aiming over 200rwks i herd 12 to 14 psi is the most i should go to is this correct

thanks

stock ecu? going over ~11-12psi will probably feel like you have hit a wall @ 4500-5000rpm. the ecu kills off all the power makes a few large pops and bangs in the exhaust and then continues on. the easiest way around that issue is to just stick to 10-11psi.

Cheers mate ill probably go to bout 10 psi

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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  
    • 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
