i have an r34 sedan

mods are:

front mount full 3in exhuast and 3in cat, pod filter no after market ecu

now the issue is that no matter what i do it always seems to wanna boost to at least 1bar i had a manual boost controll on it didnt fix the prob and just brought a new hdi ebc-r

and same thing isnt controlling the boost at all just seems to do what it wonts and answers people?

i have done a boost leak test on the cooler pipes once before and wasnt leaking

please help i wanna rev my car past 5 but hits boost cut/fuel cut hmmmmm??????

maybe the actuator diaphram is fkd...

If your wastegate can open then somewhere the signal of boost pressure in ur vaccum lines is not being translated to the actuator/opening the actuator properly...

Might sound like a silly question but do you have the vac lines connected correctly to the solenoid and actuator, I agree with JJMAN (I had this issue also at one stage), could be an issue with the boost pressure signal to the solenoid which is causing the wastegate to remain closed. Maybe a pic of your val line setup?

Why does the hose do a loop out of the cooler hose?

And does it boost up that high with no boost controller on there at all?

There seems to be an aweful lot of hoses in that pic. Try running a new hose from the intake plenum (such as.from the bov feed) straight to the wastefate and pull all those other hoses off and block them and see what happens

What is your boost controller set to in terms of pressure or percentage of boost?

Try disconnecting the solenoid an run a hose directly from the turbo to the waste gate do a run up the street. See if the new gate opens. If it does then maybe something to do with ur solenoid.

If they dont work try using another source of boost pressure further along the cooler piping like near the bov.

The hose coming out of the cooler piping is for the steering

As the piping I got didn't have a nipple I made one up

As the factory hose went there :)

I don't know what the controller is set at coz no matter where I set it it always boost to 1 bar or lil bit higher

And on that note changed my bov back to an after market one yesterday and its not very loud at all

And it use to be very loud :/

And the boost solinod is brand new only 1 day old so can't be broken

Well the wastegate should open when u hit boost pretty much straight away when connected directly to a pressure soucre as there is no solenoid valuve in the way. A manifold leak wont increase boost pressure as that is escaping exhaust not reaching the turbo.

What kind of turbo have u got fitted?

If the gate is still opening when ur on throttle and ur still make stupid boost level sounds like there could be a blockage preventing the exhaust from leaving through the dump.

so heres a new one it was pretty average day hotish and i decided to block of the map/boost sensor(one on the back fire wall) and the boost was able to be controled

WTF???

so meaning is that thing stuffed ot what?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
