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.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
