Car: Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T s2 , RB25DET

Hey guys I was driving my Skyline r33 gts-t tonight and I noticed that I wasn't really getting the amount of boost I think I should be. From a standstill when I give it some rev's and then launch it gives me the correct amount of boost but when driving I found from 3 to 4th and to 5th the boost was less than usual.

so I changed the boost up two notches on my turbo smart boost controller an noticed minimal difference, although I'm not sure what the notch to psi ratio is.

Then I was finding that in 3rd gear I would accelerate and the turbo would start fluttering and the boost needle would be knock around like crazy then I could ease off and go and it would be fine. The thing is though that this only happens some of the time. I'm still learning so not really up to par with all the lingo. If anyone could help me out it would be nice.

Thanks!

when you say the bost needle knocks around like crazy does your boost increase or nothing happens? from what your saying my assumption is your hitting a boost spike... and if there is no boost throughout 3rd- 5th i would throw out there you have a boost leak somewhere or your turbo is giving up or has given up on you

so ur hearing flutter and ur boost gauge needle is all over the show under acceleration?

that sounds weird. btw flutter is the noise of the air running back through the turbo when u close the throttle it shouldn't be doing it under acceleration

a boost gauge needle bouncing up and down and turbo flutter on acceleration sounds just like surging to me, caused by restriction on the compressors inlet. causes of the restriction could be the stock rubber inlet pipe sucking closed if you still have it (its a common problem), or something simple like a dirty air filter. i think you'll find the is more engine load in 3rd than in 1st and 2nd, hence why you only start seeing the problem in 3rd.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.

      I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks.

      Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
