hey guys just a question, when i reach about 5 and a half revs on which ever gear my car tends to lag, not goinng its full performance is it the turbo or is it that not enough fuel is going through therefore theres a problem with the fuel injectors??.

thanks

hi newbie here

just wanna ask when does the turbo open/on/operate on a R33 S2 stock.. tnx

Turbo opens/on/operates all the time, when you see boost all depends on the Amount of Throttle and the amount of Load on the motor (In gear, not free revving) this will change though and you can add the size of your fuels system, intake, turbo, exhaust blah blah..

tnx sir.. its a very helpful info.. tnx

turbo will boost from 2000-2500 rpm - hopefully hit full boost around 4000rpm - 4500rpm up to 6500rpm (roughly)

(assuming stock ecu / stock turbo etc etc)

so before 2k rpm the turbo is doing nothing? is that right? also if the car got an intercooler it sure got a turbo right?

please bear with me.. totally newbie! tnx

apologies to the OP (dont mean to hyjack the thread but i feel compelled to answer his question as we were all newbs at one stage)

before 2000rpm the turbo is still running although its not making positive boost pressure.

in regards to intercoolers - generally yes - although u do find some people (i have no idea why) putting intercoolers onto non turbo / non supercharged cars.

if you have any other questions, just PM me - saves cluttering this thread up as its a bit off topic.

Turbo lag means the period before turbo hit its set boost. So if you have a really big turbo you would experience lag before 5500RPMs. Can you detail this lag that you are experiencing?

wrong. boost threshold is the minimum rpm required to reach target boost. lag is the amount of time it takes to reach full boost after planting the throttle above the boost threshold. getting technical but you should know this :laugh:

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
