Hi guys bought another r33 s2 .. anyways I tried to turn down the boost and the gated ts boost controller is turned down all the way and it boosts to just under 1 bar.... I even took the ball and spring out. I wanted to ask what sort of things would cause this.... Such as wastegate, intercooler hose cracks, spark plugs, im not sure..... could it be the cats be decated...

All i want to do is run 12 psi max so does anyone have any idea how I can reduce boost? I was thinking maybe the stock bov would bleed some the excess boost off.......

anyways mods are

FMIC

Exhaust turbo back split dump restrictors been removed...

TS boost t

splitfires coils

HKS ssqv bov no (no idea if its real looks real)

boost also goes up and down? eratically somtimes under hard acc

Any help

cheers

yeh its missing the restrictor, previous owner would have taken the hoses off so does that mean if i want to run 10-12 psi I would have to put them back in? I thought that the Boost t was able to reduce boost until the standard wastegates presets? It also only happens in high rpms after 4500-7000

Restrictor in the wastegate piping (between boost controller and wastegate actuator) should bring the pressure down and make the wastegate open much later. Pretty sure that's how GTRs are setup from the factory.

I think you have it mixed up. If you open the wastegate much later then its going to increase boost. The earlier you open the actuator gives you less boost.

this. the later the wastegate opens, the higher the pressure will be when it opens. if you restrict how much boost pressure the wastegate sees then the end result is higher pressure on the cooler piping side than on the wastegate side. which is exactly how a boost controller works. or if you complete block the hole it will give you unlimited boost. a few simple way to increse the boost on a car with a restrictor in the hose to the wastegate is to solder the restrictor closed and then drill a smaller hole in it.

in the case of the r33 gts-t, the solenoid that they have bleeds off air between the cooler piping and the wastegate, so the wastegate sees less pressure.

on the GTRs there is a line that runs from the underside of the plenum at the back near the brake master, that line runs under the plenum to a T from there one side runs around the back of the motor to the waste gates, the other side runs to the boost solenoid then back under the plenum around the back of the motor to the inlet pipe for the back turbo :thumbsup:

the restrictor in the line from the T to the solenoid in creases the pressure between it and the waste gates there for opening the waste gates sooner, removing it reduces that pressure which in turn keeps the gates shut longer giving more boost

OP, try removing the controller and putting at straight joiner, that will give you waste gate pressure, what ever that might be

I was thinking its boost creep and maybe the split dump was causing it.. I heard if I put restrictors on the exhaust it will fixed it or even porting the internal wastegate. could help? I have heard people use a Greddy profec b II which controls the gain to counter the waste gate creep../? anyone have the same issue? I also put it back to stock but its missing the restictors so it just cut out at 5000rpm when in high boost mode... anyways ill post some pics maybe the hoses have been connected in a bad configuration

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
