hey guys ive tried again at setting up a turbosmart electric manual boost controller with yet again another huge result of NOTHING...im starting to get annoyed because of how simple it all seems and yet getting no where..ive seen this exact setup done on another R33 and it worked...so im starting to think my wastegate is rooted or something...have a look and let me know whats going on please =] Cheers! (car is boosting over 10psi no matter what, i want it back to somewhere between 5>8 as it doesnt seem to appreciate 10..)

Hmmm, hard to tell dude! From the pic, and from my knowledge after having installed my boost controller just today. It looks like ur boost controller isn't going to do anything because of the way u have it wired. The vac/boost line is all linked. U are not controlling the boost at all like that. Does ur boost controller have 1, 2 or 3 hole for a vac tube?

ok guys this is a pic of another engine ive seen hooked up in this set up and im asuming it works? its exactly what ive done except im using an electric manual verson of the turbosmart range tapped into the line thats spose to be there for the charcoal canister. im going to Kyp performance today to see what they can do, ideally i think all i need to do is drill and tap into my cooler piping and fit a boost/vacumme nipple and run it off that as the stock turbo doesnt come with a boost pressure nipple at the outlet side like most aftermarket turbo's do which would be ideal

For that boost controller you have it hooked up "correctly"

Although, I HIGHLY recommend taking your pressure source from an intercooler pipe, or off the manifold direct.

Secondly, if when hooked up direct from intercooler pipe to actuator you're getting over 10PSi, adding a boost controller won't bring it down... Boost controllers only increase the pressure.

Where are you located mate?

I reckon by T'ing into the carbon canister you have effectively added another boost tap to your actuator line which is actually a large chamber.. try a dedicated pressure source from the manifold or cooler piping.

The setup you are trying to emulate has no carbon canister, he is just using the old line to the CC as his pressure source.

Had a look at it today and from what ive seen its hooked up ok exept the vacuum point, also he's running a pod and FMIC. I told him that these things will increase boost and 10 psi is possibly going to be the lowest he's gunna get. I may be wrong? i think he' going to try change the vacuum point to see if that helps to

He can go as low as 3PSi if he's got the stock actuator.

It's all about where you measure boost, and where you take the actuator pressure source from.

Both from the same place, what the guage reads the actuator sees, 3PSi will get it open and holding steady.

I run mine from the manifold, as I want my pressure control to be in reference to what I'm putting down it's throat...

Thats a dumb idea - you really want your reference from just before the throttle body in most applications.

It's not a dumb idea.

Alot of big HP cars do it... It gives one huge advantage too... When you shift, the wastegate is sucked hard shut making ALL exhaust gasses head out the wastegate... :rofl:

I run my car with no BOV, so if I were to shift, the waste gate is held open, just as is on all cars that run their pressure source from the IC piping as they either run no BOV (And wastegate still sees pressure) or they run a BOV and as such, there is a delay in having the BOV vent, hence there is always a minor amount of pressure... At the least, they see vacuum...

As for claiming it's a dumb idea, you give no reasoning for it...

I see what you saying but - I think you would find alot more response with a proper BOV and the boost reference where I said.

It also becomes a vacuum leak when using a bleed style boost controller.

      Ball bearing turbos

      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

      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.
