32 Gtr Boosting Prob


OIR32
 Share

Recommended Posts

hi guys.. i need some help.. ive just installed a greddy dual boost controller and gauge.. i took it for a drive today and tryed changing the boost levels and it didnt do shit! when i bought the car old mate said he removed the boost pill?? i dont know what psi 32 gtr's with stock turbs are supposed to run but the gauge read 15 psi and a spike of 17 psi.. seems to high to me but is that what the actuators are set at???? i wanna know what people think..... i could have installed the controller wrong? or something to do with the boost pill

Any input would be awesome!! thanks

Hey mate,

Im pretty sure stock boost on a R32 GTR is around 10psi but certainly not 15psi

I think he might be talking about the boost restrictor which is a little piece of pipe that is inside the vacuum line that runs from a T piece in the line to the wastegate, The line bleeds a bit of air back into the intake and has a restrictor inside of it, if you remove it it lets it bleed a bit more air and increases boost

If you have a full free flowing exhaust and a pod then removing it may just as well increase it to 15PSI and even cause a small spike but id put my money on the spike being caused by the boost controller not being set up properly

Anyone please correct me if i am wrong as iv only had experience with RB25'S

thanks mate,... it does have a nismo catback, pods and m's intakes. i could have set it up wrong, second hand with no instructions. especially the waste gate side twin turbs = a couple of t peices, making hoses the same length and tthis being my 1st rb26...one thing i was confused about was where to put the line that comes from the COM port of the boost solenoid... i t'd it into the black pipe work thats under the larger intake pipework which follows the intercooler piping around and goes to the 2 bovs... the other side of the t peice goes to a hard pipe that runs around the back of the motor...

i dont know if thats the right spot but i heard its just waste air coming out of that hose.

rido fella's.. i sorted the problem out. i didnt have a port running to a vac/boost source.. it runs on stock 10 psi and high boost of about 14, hopefully thats not to high a boost. theres only one more problem.. on the high boost setting with the foot down it has a boost spike that continually goes up and down from about 14 to 17 psi. if on low boost i change the boost % to the same psi as the high boost% in doesnt spike.. seems weird.. can anyone give me some info on that, thanks heaps

It's probably not boost %, but rather duty cycle %. Gain is most likely the difference between the 2 settings, a high gain setting will cause spiking.

agh ok thanks lance.. ill turn the gain down on high boost. any idea what it should be set at? thanks mate

Getting gain right is trial and error, too high and boost will spike (but build boost really fast) whereas a setting too low, the boost will be stable (but won't build as fast). It's a matter of finding the right setting that doesn't spike, but still builds boost fast.

    • Time for millspec wiring, MoTec electronics package, Bosch Motorsport ABS, let's goooooooo!!!   Maybe as @MBS206 suggested, just swap out those stupid blue relays near the ECU plug.  
    • My only regret with the NC MX5 was no space for a spare, even a space saver doesn't fit in I do have a couple of those puncture repair spray cans, but if I get a large puncture, or sidewall damage, I'm screwed until a tilt tray turns up I'm thinking I might get one of those 4WD style of puncture repair kits that have that rope stuff and glue, whilst it will kill any hope of saving a tyre, it might help getting me out from some backwoods road far enough to find a actual tyre shop if the first can of tyre fix doesn't work I'm keen to see how your new toy pans out Uncle Duncan, I'll be moving to the Highlands next year, you'll need to shout out if your heading to Wakefield, whilst I've lost my balls for happy laps, I still love watching those that can
    • Yeah not sure what the warranty was, but it will be years outside it.  I've shot Link a message, will see what happens, I'm told their support is good. It is a plug in, so its a Link board in a factory case, very easy to access both sides of the circuit board by removing the top or bottom cover. To be fair the the Link, although I've checked to the factory connections and wiring specs, as we learned with Neil's car in the early days not all ECUs source power the same way. He'd been running a factory ECU with no trouble for years, but when we plugged a PowerFC in it wouldn't start up, just kept cycling power on and off. We worked out that the car was missing one of the 10a fuses "Electronic Parts", and to Neil's knowledge it had never been there. Turns out the ECU pulled its main power from that source not the same place the factory ECU did.  Point being....there are multiple battery and ECCS power sources in the factory ECU, and multiple grounds as well....not telling from the outside exactly what the Link uses (and doesn't use)
    • Now, thanks to sonicii, onto the uneven floor from a tyre sticking 100mm into the boot space. I looked into options to raise the floor to the level of the tyre, and ended up going Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). EPS is what I normally think of as polystyrene, the annoying tiny balls that get glued into a flat sheet but XPS is quite different, much firmer and doesn't crumble if you touch it with anything. I also looked at things like heavy duty seating foam but XPS seemed like the right way. I picked up 3x 1200x600x50 sheets for $40ea. Initially I was looking for 100mm sheets because I needed to make up a 100mm gap, but as it turned out 50mm was available, much easier to work with and made it simple to store the tools I used a simple 15cm foam cutter to make the shapes. With some practice I was able to make reasonably clean cuts but I don't think Clark Rubber are going to be calling me to offer a job. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/405092315205?var=675175481574 First layer in place, 3 dimensions are tricky! Second layer in place, bringing it to level with the top of the spare Cutouts in the top layer for the tools With floor back in place, nice and flat with 100mm stolen but no real impact on usability
    • Sounds like a good idea to me moh
