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....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • 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.
