Ok here is the problems, turbo is a hypergear atr43 ss-1

Boost spike to 22psi then falls straight off to 14psi

80% of the time it only gets to 16/17psi

Has 500rpm lag over most other identical turbos

Only made 306hp.

Attempted fixes.

Removed air box

Tried pod filter

Tried different intercooler

Removed exhaust

Tried different exhaust

Pressure tested the whole system

Removed boost control

To add insult to injury. I got out accelerated by an xr6 :'(

My setup is as follows. K&N panel filter-z32-3"metal intake-turbo-jjr bellouth dump-gutted cat-hks hi power cat back-jjr return flow intercooler-turbosmart type 3 plum back-Nissan 350z 450cc injectors-walbro gss341-nistune

Notes on setup are a little disjointed.

Gearbox - auto or manual?

Boost control - straight feed to actuator now? Previously? And what difference observed?

Actuator - what pressure is it rated at? Is it set up ok? What pressure does the valve crack off its seat?

Boost delivery - do you have a dyno sheet with boost overlay? Saying it's 500rpm more laggy than other similar setups doesn't give a great insight into things, graph tells a whole lot more.

Dyno sheet - please upload one

looks like a very weak actuator, you say its rated at 18psi yet your boost is dropping off to 14psi? didnt think you can run lower boost than your actuator is rated at..

The actuator should be plumbed in off the turbo outlet, so it will hold x amount of psi at the turbo outlet. Theoretically that number should be the same as the pressure in your manifold, but only if everything else is working properly; boost leaks, pressure drop, restrictions, etc. will affect it.

He didn't tell me what afr he tuned to (annoyed me when I was driving home and realized) and I do have a torque graph, il put it up in a minute. He said he couldn't get it to hold full boost, he tightened the actuator adjustment and turned the boost control up. The actuator is plumbed into the fitting that used to go to the air con compressor solenoid?switch?

Only boost leak is through my open air tappet cover breather, holds 30psi if I put my finger in it.

i should also point out, my car makes 22 psi but doesnt feel like it makes power until it drops below 18/19, like kind of has that vvti+l feel after that.

Edited by lilcrash

if you put your finger in the cam cover breather it boosts to 30psi????

sounds like you have a strange boost leak...

maybe you should have the breathers plumbed up right and find your boost leak...? just a thought.whistling.gif

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
