hey guys:

got a problem. ive got an rb25. ive just fitted a high flow tirbo (bearing and steel wheel). full exhaust, tubotech bleed valve, cold air, cooler. Whilst tuning it the guy says that its over boosting to 15psi in the high end boost range even tho its set to 10? it made 235rwkw?

any ideas why this may be??

turbotech does not have pre boost settings to work with, its over boosting because of a mechanical issue that is possibly related to the boost controller itself.

you need to play around with pre loads on the spring etc to get the controler working correctly. 15psi spike aint too bad for your setup, as long as its not leaning out and it tuned for it then you should just leave it

sounds dumb but how long is ur bleed valve hose and where is it plumbed in.....just make sure the hose is as short as possible and picks up pressure as close to the intake housing of the turbo as possible, otherwise ull be prone to higher boost spikes

sounds like a typical bad combination of wheels and a poor job on hi-flowing the turbo

they are the two reasons for OVERBOOST in your circumstance.

To be certain - remove the actuator, if its still doing it - 110% the turbo is a shit job.

agreed im seeing so many dodgy high flows lately from so called small boutique turbo shops.

Check your wastegate opening and what dump have you got? Some people have problems with splits for a dump and the wastegate has trouble opening or releasing the gas. Your boost tee could be another problem.

Borrow a friend's electronic boost controller if you can and see if that helps any.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
