Hey peeps!

Iv got a bit of a problem.

I have a Nissan Skyline GTST r33 s2.

Basic mods front mount,fuel pump etc etc. Now i have a Greddy profec b spec II. My last boost peak is 7.5 - 8psi but my boost gauge is registering around 11psi. My car feels laggy. But if i set it so my car is running 11psi on last boost from greddy boost controller its much more responsive and feels right but it registers on the gauge as 14psi..I dont want to do damage.Iv been told to go off the gauge and some say the boost controller.. Im after 11-12psi. If anyone has similar mods whos running 11-12psi on a greddy profec b spec II . It would be great if i could get the settings for a starting point. i know all cars are different etc but im after a rough idea. SET. SET GAIN. GAIN. etc. Surely someone is running 12psi on a greddy profec b or has a good idea what settings are roughly right.. Help much appreciated.. thanks!

What brand gauge is it? Where is the gauge tee'd into and where is the boost controller tee'd into?

If it's just a cheap no-name gauge, I'd trust the Profec. You didn't mention having any aftermarket engine management, so if that's the case then I highly doubt you are getting to 14psi without hitting R&R on the stock ECU.

yeh basic mods..HKS F con S. .ok well 46% and gain 11% tells me that the boost gauge is out.( unsure of the brand) il check tomorrow. but 34% and gain on %7 gets me 11psi on the gauge but only 7.5 on the greddy.. also what is ur SET GAIN (start boost) set to..

Thanks heaps

ok i just went out and checked it is SET 39% ( i dunno why i thought 46%) SET GAIN at 94 in psi mode and GAIN 11%. and that shows up around 12.5 on the greddy its moves a little other side though so it isnt set up perfect

Thanks Beenowned.. And thats probly a good idea DVS..I had it around 37% and Those settings will read roughly 14 - 15psi on my boost gauge though? do u think that would be safe to run those settings maybe a fraction lower as im after 11-12psi. Even though my gauge is telling me higher...

37% on the stock actuator won't give anywhere near 15psi.... I've got a 8psi actuator and the same boost controller set at 100% and the most boost I've seem was 12 psi, maybe one or two 13psi spikes.

Yeh that's weird though, mine was set at 66% when I had my stock actuator, that was 14psi.

^^^ same mine... 66% SET = 14 psi ....Get a good boost gauge.. Dnt get el cheapo..

To the fellas with the R34's. Fairly close to my set up too. But the 34 turbo is slightly larger so can't really compare to the 32 turbo characteristics.

my set is 56% gain 17% and set boost at 92. Peak reading on boost greddy unit was 13, but on boost gauge reads 14

If I turn the greedy unit to 0%. which is off or I turn the whole unit off. I get about 8psi and creeps to 10psi. Shouldn't it registers at 6psi(stock boost).

About normal if you have a full 3"+ turbo back exhaust and pod/panel filter.

That's true... I still don't think it will be 15psi at 37% though. Only have experience with my setup though so I couldn't be sure.

OP, do what Jez suggested and have someone watch the gauges while you are driving. You might even want to get your car back into your tuner so they can double check the AFR's; wouldn't take long for them to do so shouldn't cost much.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
