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...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
