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

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
