bought a project car (r32 gtr). finally got it up and going and its not hitting boost - at all

has hi mount t66 and external gate, boost tap, and power fc, stock bov (currently vented to atmosphere :( )

now i blocked up the bov's to see if they were leaking - still no boost

fiddled with the boost tap up and down - still no boost

rev the car, take it for a drive - wont make any boost whatsoever - not even 1psi

anyone have any ideas why it could be doing this.

only thing i can think of is faulty wastegate but when i had it off the car the spring in it had plenty of tension (gate was hard as f**k to push down)

please help :(

The stock bov should be Plummer back but if it isn't it only really effects idle etc it's not going to completely stop it boosting. And to address this issue I blocked it off. There's no funny sounds. I've checked te ic pipes but will go over them again as i may have missed something

No boost at all but still drives with power fc afm etc tells me there shouldnt be any air leaks.

Either turbo's not spooling or the wastegate is completely open which should still make some boost.

Take the wastegate pipe off and see if the exhaust is exiting it.

Is the engine timing and all the basics set correctly?

Has the power fc been tuned before?

Take the dump pipe off and start the engine. See if the turbine is spinning and increases speed with the engine rpm.

Are the wheels still intact with fins?

Have u tried a different boost gauge?

collapsed cat would still make boost, just not do anything with it.

Can you hear the turbo spool up?

Have you confirmed that it definitely isn't making boost and that the issue isn't with the boost gauge? Stupid question i know but i have seen it happen.

Put it on a dyno. you'd be suprised what you can see when you look at the engine under load.

doesnt cat a cat. rest of exhaust is fine. definitely doesnt boost, or even try to boost.

take it for a drive and it just climbs through the revs fine until you change gear. only problem is it doesnt spool 1 bit,

its as though someone is opening the wastegate as soon as it makes boost, but am 99% sure this is not the case (see posts above)

going to check the fueling of it today.

thanks heaps for input - any input is really appreciated at this stage :(

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
