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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
