Hey fellas,

Just installed a FMIC on my r33 gtst series 2 and it was my first time i tried it, now my question is that when i floor it my

boost reads +7 mmHg which is i think about 14psi then starts jerking around. isnt that a bit too high for a stock turbo?

Any ideas wat i did wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. cheers.

14psi is to much for a stock turbo.. it may last a week or it may last 2 years but it is a risk..

I would recommend a Electronic boost controller and at least a DYNO tune, but i would do both... By fitting a FMIC you are changing the way the engine breathes..''

Good luck...

I noticed that with the stock piping i had to remove a hose that was connected right before the intake manifold i think. i traced that hose back to the turbo. now on the new piping there is no nipple to connect that hose to so i just left it out. could that be the problem?

Sounds like you have no boost sense line for the turbo actuator. This will cause your turbo to produce max boost all the time due to no muscle air to open your internal wastegate. There should be a vacuum line from the inlet manifold or turbo outlet casing to your actuator on the turbo.

This is essential to have so your boost can be controlled.

Have someone check it out if you don't understand it or your turbo won't last very long.

Good luck..

it is free boosting . yes its ok to drive but dont boost it at all . keep it below the 0 on the stock gauge . and get a proper boost gauge before you post on here again

get a nipple welded/drilled&taped/nead it in where the factory one was . or run it off the nipple that comes out the bottom of the throttle body as thats just unimportant ( in relation to boost control) carbon canister

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
