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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
