Looking good so far!

Interesting about the boost control/spike. Perhaps they aren't 16psi?

Seen many turbosmart ones say "X" and varied by a good 3-4psi when on the car.

Soo surprised it comes on at almost the same time as -7 size turbos, makes twin turbos look like junk

Loaded up on a dyno -5s and -7s basically "come on" at the same RPM on a dyno interestingly enough, yet they are a good 60-70rwkw different up top.

Drive them on the street however and its a different story that you don't get on paper - been there and done it with -9 to -5 :)

It depends on the pressure and also the piston location in the manifold. Apparently Turbosmart guarantee it will hold the stated boost due to countless hours of bullshit bullshit testing. Perhaps on their test jig, not in the 'real world'.

I am interested to see what my new 26psi springs turn out to hold. Hopefully I have time for a squirt tomorrow.

Gonna have a play with it in the morning :)

Yes gate pressure, i agree 100% about the springs. But i cbf'd changing them. Just made it a bit ah touchy tuning it as i cant work up from low boost.

Ash- no extra loading on my dyno it has a set 2second preload and i start all runs at the same speed. I agree with transient boost response on the road tho. Deano and i can test the rolling starts :) -5's vs 6262

yea paul, its all standard, its even the factory fuel lines, and rail just with id2k injectors and the plugs rewired. Oh his got cam gears on it.. but thats not out of the norm.....

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
