So I have an RB25DET series I swap in my S14

Everything was working fine until I did my turbo swap.

I did new intercooler pipes, Blow thru Maf setup, 6boost twin scroll manifold with twin wastegates and Bullseye S362 .91 Twin Scroll Turbo.

I ordered two tial wastegates and they are installed as well.

Car runs fine, just I get absolutely no boost. I can hear the turbo spooling around 2800-3000rpms and at WOT the boost gauge goes to 0 but never anything higher then that.

I know I have a leak at the downpipe after the turbo because the V-Band clamp that was provided does not seal properly. But, this should not be causing me to not boost.

I can feel some air coming out of the BOV when I give her some throttle...that is all.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

I'm going to run a boost leak test, but, I highly doubt to find anything significant since I redid all my piping there are only a few silicone couplers on my setup and they are virginally tight.

This is something I'd like to see a few pictures of, just to show what can be done. I do like your thinking, and for the $$ spent it should be a great setup.

Question - when you say car runs fine, do you mean it idles fine, or it runs through the rpm range fine? If it's not boosting it should be as flat as a fart as you attempt to rev and/or load it. Does not sound right that it is fine other than no boost.

Have you checked the pipework for any rags inadvertently left behind during final assembly?

I would be checking that the wastegate valves are seating

^+1, but:

If it is not boosting at all, those gates would nearly have to be wide open and basically bypassing all gases. And again, it would be giving lifeless response.

I'd also remove the compressor inlet pipe to check that the compressor can actually spin (I noted that you'd commented about being able to hear it spooling). Make sure there is no assembly error or anything else that has it seized or dragging.

sounds like it could be a gate issue,considering most other variables (new turbo,tight cooler piping connections) seem to be addressed.

There is only a few things it could be..check them off the list one by one.

Search and you shall find.

Found the pics, thought it was a build done in the US. 6boost must be doing a decent export trade too. Pipework looks schmick, but I do wonder if the WG takeoff pipes are at a fairly abrupt angle.

Definitely looks the part, wish I could find the specs from BW on a S362.

S362 by bullseye power.bullseye power.

S362 V-Band Outlet 76.3/67.6 Turbine Wheel 0.91 A/R

Turbocharger Name - S362

Compressor Wheel Inducer - 62mm

Compressor Wheel Exducer - 80.6mm

Compressor Wheel Trim - 54

Turbine Wheel Inducer - 76.3mm

Turbine Wheel Exducer - 67.6mm

Turbine Wheel Trim - 79

Turbine Option - Outlet - V-Band

Turbine Option - Inlet - T4

Turbine Option - A/R - 0.91

Horsepower Rating - 350-680

thats a pretty wide horsepower target....is it right?

Otherwise looks like a good thing, size is right in the ball park.

Turns out one of the intercooler pipes was off, completely off. But being the fact that I just upgraded to a blow through MAF and the pipe popped off BEFORE the MAF, starting/idling/normal driving was not a problem so I thought there couldn't be a boost leak.

I fixed the leak and now I am very very impressed with the setup. I drove her around a bit and at WOT only on 10psi I start spooling approx. ~3200 and full boost by ~3800.

I need a tune and alittle more cleanup so I parked the car for now. Probably going to ditch my Jim Wolf ECU and go Vipec. Have a small video to upload soon and after that will post again with dyno sheets and new ECU.

They are a slightly mutant version Bullseye put together, I have actually been considering going to a genuine Borg Warner S300SX 83/75 for my next setup....

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
