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.

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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
