Ok so i have full 3inch exhaust, turbosmart manual boost controller, fmic, auto meter liquid filled boost guage and splitfire coils. i have my boost T going from actuator to fmic plumbed into the bottom pipe of the 2 intercooler pipes. The other pipe that goes to plumbback pipe is blocked off.

My question is that my boost keeps changing ranging from as low as 5 psi up to 11 psi i would like it to stay around 10 psi dont mind little creep. i have done the tuning thing with my boost guage and set it to 10 psi and then later on it will change and change through out the day. Im not sure what it is because if it is set up properly my boost should hold 10 psi all the time right? doesnt matter about if its cold or hot because the same amount of air is being pressurised and bleed off right?

and im not talking about spiking and then setteling like bleed valves do somtimes, its when i hold my foot down that i take my boost reading.

Any ideas and help would be much appreciated :)

cheers Kurt

"i have my boost T going from actuator to fmic plumbed into the bottom pipe of the 2 intercooler pipes" man wtf does that mean ? re read it yourself

are you tryin to say the boost tap is plumbed in a line from the ic pipe to the actuator ?

what car is it ? what turbo ?

have you removed the factory solenoid?

ok its rb25det r33 series 2 stock turbo

sorry my bad got my words mixed up so i have my boost t in between the wastgate actuator and is then plumbed into my intake intercooler pipe from the turbo... the bottom one, i have the factory solonoid just sitting their with no pipes but still has electrics connected.

cheers

I also had this exact problem with a manual turbosmart controller. I never ended up fixing it unfortunately I just went back to the stock solenoid with the permanent high boost mode and due to the fmic it constantly sits on about 9psi with no realll hesitation like I did with the manual controller. Maybe give that a go if u can't ever figure it out?

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
