hey guys,as i said in my last post im new to skylines, that also means turbo's aswell.lol. so i am hopeing someone can help me fix my problem.

ahhh everything on it is pretty much stock and i wanted a bit more boost. so i got a g.f.b boost tap and when i put the boost up nothing hapopend was running the standed boost. i looked t the waistgate and that was jammed so i fixed that problem now thats all fine. but it still wont boost any harder is it possibel that there is shit in my turbo? or do i need a new one ?

cheers

do you have an aftermarket boost gauge? the stock one doesn't read in psi and isn't that accurate, so don't use it for adjusting boost.

secondly, are you sure you have it hooked into the right vaccum line? maybe take a pic of how you have it set up.

or as dean said, just take it to a workshop

if you are referring to "6" on the dash cluster gauge then its boosting cos that gauge aint in psi

and as aforementioned take it to a mechanic before you break it. Seriously, boost controllers are not a DIY job unless ur very experienced. Iv seen some horror outcomes... (thankfully not on mine cos i had the good sense to have a mechanic do it even though im pretty handy...)

    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao 
    • It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.
    • 800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.  
    • Hiya guys,    i’m currently in the process of getting my rb26 built. everything is being replaced with better/upgraded parts or oem when that’s good enough (which isn’t alot lol). someone earlier mentioned to me that i’ll be screwed cause the iron block can’t take 800hp (to the engine, not wheels) which is what it’s being built for.  what do you guys think about this, am I cooked or na? The guy building the engine will also do the mapping as he is “the guru of old nissan engines” here in Belgium. I know the mapping makes a huge deal so i’m not concerned about that.    I honestly he’s talking shit cause he’s that kinda guy but a second opinion never hurt anyone! cheers in advance! 🫶🏻
