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....

    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.
