just had a look on google but didnt come up with anything interesting...

when gettin up the car it has hit boost as high as 21psi, im pretty sure it only happens on the limiter ( to scary to look at ebc to check boost when it happens), possible even at high rpm's...

first i thought it was the evc 6, but i just disconnected the control lines and ran straight from source to actuator and on limiter in 2nd it hit 19.8psi.... just wondering wat u guys and gals think could be causing this..

i seem to remember over on gtr uk reading something about r34 gtrs spiking when u put an exhaust on them and u need to make a restrictor before the cat?? make any sense?

peak boost readings are from my evc

r34 rb26

standard turbos

2.75" front pipes

3" cat back with 3" decat

and also i might just be misunderstanding but my boost ramps nothing like it does on the dyno sheet,

on the sheet the boost whent straight up to 16psi at 3800.. but on the street i dont see full boost untill high up in the rpms... maybe 5 or 6k (guessing) but it is late......

it goes up to 9 fast then slowly climbs the rest of the way....

maybe your wastegates are getting stuck ? =/

or you have a leak in your wastegate signal line, check vacuum hoses around turbo??

with ebc removed, boost should run slightly higher then what the wastegate actuator is ( stock with exhaust ? 11 - 12 psi? )

issues ussually more common on boost T setups spiking .... not ebc setup. does same thing with ebc removed? =/

hmmm wastegates shouldent bt hitting anything as i have stock r34 dumps... and yeah still does it with ebc disconnected...

hmmmm... anything else u can think off?

and lol... should they have died allready?

Yes the turbo's shouldnt have survived that kind of boost. You have been very lucky, or you might have steel wheel N1 turbo's which is why they have held together.

1. Replace the pressure line from your plenum to your turbo's. Don't inspect it, just replace it.

2. Get an air compressor. Dial the regulator down to 0.6 bar (10psi), and blow pump up the line from your plenum to the turbo's. Your acutuators should be just starting to move at 0.6 bar. Increase the regulator to 0.8 bar (12lb), and check the actuators have moved identically, and again at 1 bar.

This will either fix the problem, or it will show you where the problem exists.

It could be:

a split or blockage on the wastegate supply line somewhere.

a stuck wastegate actuator

way too much preload on the wastegate actuators

a stuffed diaphram inside one or both of the actuators

or... you have it all connected up incorrectly.

Plenum boost source - > T-piece = 1 line to each turbo actuator.

or

Plenum boost source -> evc solenoid -> tpiece = 1 line to each turbo actuator. (make sure your solenoid port hookup is correct too)

R34's dont over boost when you put big exhausts on them. It sounds like you read some technical advice that was posted by some 2JZ supra owner...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
