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.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
