I recently chucked in a Turbo Smart T peice boost controller, I bypassed the standard boost solenoid (obviously) and as far as I know all is fine BUT....

I adjusted boost to run 10psi (0.7bar) nah the thing is it boosts to 0.7bar but then drops down a tad to 0.6bar sometimes 0.5bar.

Why doesn't it constantly boost and hold at 0.7bar?

I heard off a mate that apparently its the stock bov that is only pressurise to handle 7psi (stock psi) and I would need an after market...

HELP!

Firstly, you can't expect accurate results from a nasty bleed valve - the orifice that restricts the air flow is subject to change, as the metal valve heats and cools, changing the boost pressure that it is supposed to hold. To get 100% stable boost, you will need some sort of electronic feedback system, but of course this means more $.

If you're going to increase boost pressure, I recommend that you also block off the factory BOV and run an aftermarket type. This is because the factory BOV is designed to slowly leak. This may also be a factor that impacts why you can't hold boost now with the bleeder.

Hope this helps, cheers

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
