Quick Question About Boost.

Fitting an exhaust myself today. It's a full turbo back system.

Just wondering how much boost will I be running? And is it safe? Everything else is stock.

I don't have a boost controller yet and I don't want to risk decimating my turbo.

I didn't think it would be an issue since R33's only run 7psi standard and I couldn't imagine it leaping high enough to cause damage. But best to be safe.

I tried searching but this is urgent.

Cheers

have u got a boost gauge? your right they run 7psi stock (this is after 4500rpm, before that its 5psi) but they tend to run up to 9psi after upgrading the exhaust and cooler, this is normal & safe

technically speaking the boost shouldn't actually rise at all. this is because the boost is controlled by the wastegate and it will still open at the same pressure. i never saw a boost increase from full exhaust and cooler. however other people have.

I just have the standard boost gauge in the dash. So I have no idea.

But thanks for the information everyone... It helped massive.

My mate fitted it all today after eight bloody hours. Got him to do it as he is in the trade and knows more about the right way to undo and tighten bolts. Took so long as there was a few brick walls to jump when fitting.

Not a fan of the system. Way too loud... It drones under load so much it hurts and it does not sound like a RB anymore if that makes sense.

Hopefully it is worth the performance after I give it a bit when it wears in properly.

what sort of exhaust did you get for it to be super loud? i had a 3" off the turbo to cat then 3.5" from cat back and it wasn't very loud at all.

does it still have the centre muffler in it?

as for it taking 8 hours, wow. i'm guessing a broken bolt/stud on the turbo, because otherwise it is a very straight foward job and shouldn't take more than about half an hour.

It was the full JJR system with the Xforce Cat. It is the loudest I would go for an exhaust in this car but the only problem is that it drones under load. Can hurt the ears. There is no centre muffler with this system.

It took so long because one of the bolts to the turbo was pretty hard to get to. We didn't have the right tools to reach it and the bolts thread was slightly stripped. And the who ever welded the cat was the worst welder. They left a blob right where the sensor goes so we had to drill it out to get it to fit.

If it all went smooth then it would have taken half the time. Oh and we got Macca's so that took up time haha.

I will give my final thoughts on the system once it wears in a bit. For the price it's still a great buy regardless. Just wish it sounded a bit more smoother.

it is probably due to the rear muffler they use. the body of the cannon probably isn't quite big enough to allow enough packing between the baffle and the outer body to take enough noise out of it. also being stainless probably makes it a bit louder. if you still don't like it in a week or 2 just go to an exhaust shop and get a better muffer put on, like a large 3" oval muffler such as a lukey ultra flow. that will make it a fair bit quieter.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. But I might start catching the train to work so this will be my weekend car soon enough. I will be more reluctant to put up with it.

You are right about the stainless part. Never been a fan of stainless compared to mild steel as far as sound goes.

there is a huge difference between stock and aftermarket exhausts mate, dont worry you will get used to the noise and learn to love it!

Yeh had the same system and im not sure whether it wore in or i got slightly deaf.Either way sounded awesome on boost.Actually have it from catback still in the garage if anyone is interested.Its also had a hotdog resonator welded in but the resonator is in mild steel.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
