hey guys i have r33 4 door gts25t and i hae just had it tuned, i had a massive power drop in my boost when i tryed to run 18 pounds boost topping out on 219kw the chart showed that i had a massive boost drop from 18 and back to 13 pounds and we dont no what is happening.

the car did a good run on just 10 pounds running 200kw with no boost curve so it was werid that it did the boost drop after adding boost.

the car should of made more power as i have the following up grades

t04 high flowed turbo

walbro 255lph fuel pump

z32 airflow meter

metal intake pipe

yellow jacket coil packs

spark plugs gapped to .8

e boost street boost controller

555cc sard injectors

turbosmart 440 fpr fuel pressure reg

3 inch dump pipe

3 inch stainless exhaust with high flow cat

fmic

apexi power fc with controler

xtra heavy duty brass button clutch

what could this issue be was hoping for 270rwkw but massive let down if anyone knows what it could be please let me know cheers

What did the tuner say?

Given we were not there, bit hard to work out. Obviously you have issues, but without knowing what was/wasnt checked, we could go on for 4 pages and get nowhere.

You have obvious boost control issues for a start, so what did the tuner say about that?

maybe the exhaust is too long because its in a 4 door car ? try cut a bit out of the middle and shorten it up

also make sure you dont get a xtra xtra heavey duty clutch when you clutch kick it the whole motor will move forward and hit the radiator

I can only hope u'r not serious bout ur comment.. Otherwise its lol'ed..

tuner said that it might be the turbo tiping over.

another tuner said he thinks its my actuator leaking in the diaphram??

no exhaust restrictions because has been tryed with straight pipe on as well so there is no restrictions regarding to the exhaust..

That's not weird at all. Its what you would expect if the spring in your wastegate actuator was strong enough for 10 pound but not strong enough for 18 pound. What wastegate actuator do you have? If adjustable, did you try adding more preload?

Sounds normal for a standard R33 turbine housing. To4E's wheels won't be able to blow that much air out of a small housing. To get 270rwkws you will need a much bigger rear housing with a more free flow wheel assembly.

Standard r33 rear housing is on the money. How can you pump that much boost in, and expect it to magically disappear?

Im amazed how many people who have no clue at all about how a turbo works, just get some random "high flow rated at xxx kw" bolt it on, and come on here wondering why it doesn't work?

Have a real good think about this "TO4E" setup.

Get the EXACT SPECS of this turbo and post them here.

Turbine housing size:

Turbine wheel size:

Compressor housing size:

Compressor wheel size:

If you can't or didn't get any of this info when buying it, the you shouldnt have bought it.

I hate you, I just spilt coffee on my laptop!

Seriously though it just sounds like a mismatched shitty highflow turbo that has a small exhaust housing and small compressor. However it could be lots of other things, we need a dyno sheet with AFR and a boost plot to give you any real information, anything less will leave us guessing.

Edited by Rolls

sorry everyone im away and everythings been hard to get onto here i have the dyno sheet getting someone to put it up soon for me. my turbo is at mtq currently getting checked out and the actuator seams to be the problem its a geninue garret turbo not some crappy nock off brand. i have the specs but my sheet is all at home and i cant get to them currently cheers for the help ill let u know what happens.

t04 high flowed turbo

You said it was high flowed, it is still highly possible some backyarder put mismatched wheels in the housings and it simply isn't suitable for your engine or power level.

yep, garret make lots of turbos, small ones and standard ones.....heaps. Do you have the serial numbers off the patent plate for it? It might help with the original turbo specs, check if it is a T04 etc?

Not saying its not a good turbo, but just because its a garrett doesn't mean its the right one for your motor.

If it has been highflowed by someone it means nothing as they would have changed the wheels.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
