Hi guys, i have just picked up a R34 Gtt (auto) and it seems to take a while to get to boost. Could a few of you let me know what RPM your standard turbo 34's start to make positive manifold pressure so i can see if mine is the same or not, at the moment it doesn't become positive till around 3000rpm and i am wondering whether theres a leak or if thats normal.

Don't forget with an auto the transmission is not always directly engaged with the engine, so what rpm postive pressure comes depends largely on how much throttle you are applying. Don't expect much boost with the stock auto boost controller anyway.

Its 1.1 kg/cm well thats what it says on the apexi but its not getting that high .As i stated in the original post i just got the car, it looks like the standard turbo as all the stock piping is coming off the outlet of it.

Ok even though my car is pinging, I set my car to stockish boost and took some dodgy videos to show you how the automatic transmission and throttle is the biggest factor in what RPM an the car develops positive pressure.

In D, on snow start setting, full boost can come as early as 2000rpm. In L setting, gear one, and "power" setting the engine may reach around 5000rpm before the gauge show you full boost. It Depends on how much throttle you give it as well. 3/4 is different to full.

Unfortunately I am capped so it will takes ages to upload

What are you reading the boot pressure off? Just to let you the stock boost gauge measures in mmhg (millimetres of mercury) and not psi.

reading boost off the apexi avcr and the stock gauge. just thought around 2800-3000rpm was a little late to get positive pressure. Thanks for the video sonicz

There's no point talking about boost threshold unless you're talking about 100% throttle and a high enough gear to get sufficient load into the engine to get the exhaust flow up.

1st gear and even 2nd gear are a waste of time. 3rd or 4th in a manual or whatever you can achieve in an auto without it kicking down too many gears.

adjust the tune to bring boost on earlier (more timing)

1.1kgmc2 is too much boost for standard turbo

auto runs different diff gears to manual so gearing would play a part (engine load / turbo charger boost pressure ramp)

auto also runs different stock boost actuator (irrelevant when using boost controller)

imho tune your ecu setup and you should be around the equiv of a manual ish

from memory in my manual 33 tuned i had 0.85kgcm2 by 2700rpm

Thanks for that info mate, the car has a greddy emanage ultimate setup and i have it booked in for a tune in 2 weeks so will know more about whats going on then. I am starting to think the stock turbo may have been hi flowed or something for that boost.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
