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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
