hi all i have recently got a profec b spec 2 ebc installed on my 33gtst and i was pushing 11psi with stock turbo

it was very consistent and stable it stays @ 11psi since 2k + rpm and went on all the way to redline

then the next day i realised the boost wont go over 9+ psi with the same settings (i didnt even touch the controller)

and so i tried to turn the boost controller off and it was only boosting around 5psi instead of 7psi.

i know the profec b increase boost by the % of stock boost

so i reckon the problem lies to my stock boost and thats why its only boosting 9psi with the controller

but anyone can help why issit only boosting 5psi on stock boost?

i read someone bout modding the stock solenoid, the stock boost will stays @ 5psi if the solenoid is not grounded and 7psi if its always grounded.

but it shouldnt affect me since i have an aftermarket bc already. i just thought it might somehow be related.

it was boosting 11psi all the way on the day it was set and everything was good and stable

i dunno what is causing the problem a little help will be very appreciated.

thanks

Don't skylines have a two-stage system where they run 5psi at lower revs, then 7.5 at higher revs (when the factory boost controller has power fed to it)? If so, your electronic boost control has probably replaced the factory system, and you get low boost all the time until you power your (aftermarket) boost control solenoid with your new fancy profec b gadget. You'll find 5psi is the wastegate pressure.

this guy is spot on the money. the wastegate pressure on the r33 gts-t and r34 gt-t are 5psi and the solenoid opens at around 4500rpm to increase the boost to 7psi, so if you disconnect the controller and it goes to 5psi then there is no problem.

as for your boost decrease, do you still have the stock solenoid connected or is it disconnected? if it is connected as well as the aftermarket one then there could be an issue there. otherwise it could be one of a few things. could be a leak in the line to the boost gauge or a blockage.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
