Hey Guys,

i just brought a r33 gtst with rb3025 in it, motor has been rebuilt around 20K ago with fCP pistons, spool rods, nitto pump etc.

turbo set up is a garrett GT35R T3 0.82 external gate. running ebay exhaust manifold & wastegate & 3 inch exhaust system.

here is a dyno graph i got when i brought the car looks to have a slight boost drop, and very wavey boost line is this normal?

or could that be casued by the shit manifold & wastgate? or the 3ich exhaust system?

yeah i thought i could be the manifold wastegate set up.

im going to throw some ID1000cc injectors in her add anthor 044 pump, change to the exhaust to a 3.5inch the whole way and add a Eboost2.

then see how she goes on around 25psi..

if i still have boost issues i guess 6boost manifold and good wastegate will go on..

The wavy part is just certain type of dynos do that I understand.

Yeah the poor boost control would be the china manifold.

So strange with a quality 2530 engine build with all the good stuff and a nice GT35R and then a cheap ebay china exhaust manifold??

nothing wrong with china manifolds. If setup correctly and modified right.

i got 4 years out of mine.. as long as you brace them and dont hang the exhaust on them they work quite good... I ran a 10 on mine.

only going to make a new one now because the exhaust was hung on it and it cracked again and we can just remake one at the shop in 2 days.

hi Guilt toy,

i knew you had one on yours after lots of reading in the forums..

so im hoping the probelm could be the 3inch exhaust.. and or the cat as i just brought the car its hard to know whats going on,,

what wastegate and exhaust system you running guilt?

its sitting on the floor waiting for my S14 shell to be finished.

to be honest im going through court with the people spraying it as they have had my car and money for well over 7 months now, and the car is still not near finished.

lots of hard earned money and stress has been pored into the s14.

i just went and brought something to get my mind off sh!t,

Man I have a gt3582r with a 6boost manifold, 50mm turbosmart gate, 3 inch turbo back exhaust and a stock cat. It is sucking through a z32 afm. So far I have run 20 psi and it is rock solid till my 7600 redline.

Based on my car I doubt it is your exhaust or your cat causing havoc.

well thats good to hear.

just wounder what RWKW it makes and what fuel?

i just seen my R33 has a GFB manual boost Tee not sure if this is the cause also.

Only thing i done 2 my $75 stainless manifold was cut between the runners so each runner bolts down seperately and seals perfect. got my tuner to die grind wastegate port out into 50mm hole with new piping welding on 2 suit new gate and perfecto.

Without looking at the exhaust it's impossible to say that.

A lot of jap "3 inch" exhausts actually have a 2.5-2.75 inch reducer internally where the mufflers start to reduce noise.

So they are not true 3 inch systems at all.

Without testing it, you cannot tell.

Easiest way to do so, get it on a dyno and do a before/after - after being dropping it from the dump pipe.

I was going to say something like that but was on my phone at work "hiding in the corner" so to speak.

We have different exhaust systems and what R31Nismoid says is correct. Just disconnect your dump from your front pipe, wire the front pipe up nice and high and go for a quick drive. Be aware that you will blow soot everywhere and possibly melt some wiring if you drive for very long. You will soon know if it is the exhaust making it lose boost or not. I tried running my car straight out the turbo very briefly when putting my setup together. My car lost 3 psi from putting the exhaust on but still held whatever boost till redline.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
