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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
