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.

    • 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.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
