Hey there,

have done plenty of research on the removal of boost restrictor on r33 gtr to get 14psi of boost.

I want to remove the restrictor but not cut it out so i have the option to re install it for sale etc.

Ive taken a picture of what i believe to be the yellow restrictor

what i ask from you;

Is this the right restrictor the yellow striped line?

How do i get the thing inside to come out so its non restricted without cutting the hose and rejoining it?

Thanks in advance for any replies and help.

Get a set of pliers, put them right behind the restricter and just push down on the hose until the restrictor moves up the hose. Move up the hose an repeat until it comes out. Save the restrictor, DO NOT THROW IT OUT. You might find that the increased boost leads to misfiring, so keep the restrictor to put back in if that happens (Obviously get this misfire issue fixed if that happens).

That's 380 - 420 mmHg. It actually says the units are 100mmHG on the gauge.

The reason that XKLABA wanted to know the answers to his various questions is part of the reason why you are not getting more like 700mmHg boost even with the restrictor removed. Your boost control system does not look standard. You need to know what about it isn't standard before trying to increase the boost with a trick that is supposed to work on the standard system.

/facepalm.

I agree with above, that blue hose isn't factory, and I have no idea what that thing is between the 2 lines.. it kinda looks like a wierd ass hose joiner. Looks like no mac valve (EBC solenoid) or a bleed valve or the factory boost controller.

380-420 mmHg is 7-8psi which sounds like actuator pressure.

Is it see-through plastic (looks like silver paint on it?) like this: http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?item=306&ret=http%3A%2F%

Then whoever you brought the car off orignally took the EBC out (most likely HKS EVC or another jap EBC that comes with these vacuum line filters) before sale and sold/kept the EBC.

With the hoses joined that that, you will only see actuator pressure (7-8psi). If you had the factory solenoid (found between battery and front drivers strut, labelled something like 'Nissan PCM valve') you would see 10-11psi with restrictor, and 14.7psi without restrictor.

If you don't have the factory solenoid, then get a decent boost T like a turbotech (the best of the boost T's) and adjust it, but bear in mind the resolution of the factory gauge is only +7 (13.2psi) and even then it's not very accurate.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
