I had my car tuned last week on 12 and 14psi with a Profec B II. When the tune was done on the dyno, it spiked 0.5psi on both settings and settled to the desired setting. However on the street it is spiking by almost 2psi on each setting - which is not what anyone wants with the stock turbines.. I have turned the gain down on high and low settings but the variance is still too ridiculous for a controller with such a good rep.

My question is have i set it up right? I have left the standard Nissan solenoid plugged in but blocked one of its lines. I have tee'd the actuators in to the Greddy solenoid, which i know is right. The part i am not sure about, i have tee'd the hard lines that come from the intake manifold (before the throttle bodies) and fed that into the Greddy solenoid as the pressure source.

Please if anyone can pick a fault in my config let me know!!

Mine was on 10% set gain, and was overboosting (from 15psi up to 20psi) heaps as it'd get up to max pressure quite quickly

reduced set gain to 7% and it is much better, boosts to 15psi and only overboosts a little now

Under certain conditions they will spike, just the lag it takes to open the wastegate and for the exhaust gases to redirect, not much you can do about it. Say im in second gear half throttle at 4000rpm and then put my foot down mine spikes to about 22-23psi and then settles back to a bit under 20. As long as it doesnt spike a ridicolous amount for too long i wouldnt worry about it. Its heat generated from high boost that will kill your stock turbo(s), a little spike hear and there won't kill anything.

spike in the midrange wont hurt the turbos, still flowing a lot less air than they are at peak power.

try turning the set gain down a bit, this is the pressure the solenoid lets the actuator see boost (not a %, its a set pressure), if its too close to your target boost the actuator wont open in time to hold boost steady and it'll spike. usually 2-3psi below target boost works well but try it really low at first and see if your spike goes away, then slowly turn it up until its right

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
