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.

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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
