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.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
