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

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
