Done this a few weeks ago, great little mod, it gets rid of that peaky feeling and gives the car a smoother power curve.it is a bit dangerous in the wet tho hehe

Havnt had any problems so far which is good

Nice mod paulr33

i have a question mite sound like a bit of a tool but anyway.. the 7 on the factory boost gauge is that 7psi because the unit is in mmhg or something like that so how do u convert it to psi?

yep i did this mod like 2 weeks ago and its great! ran a wire through the firewall and attached it to a 2 way switch.. up for hi boost, down for low.. haha it works a treat! i dont use hi boost much any way.

ill post some pics up this week. :( its really really simple. took me umm 10 mins all up.

  • 2 weeks later...

i just have got around to doing this mod, and works like a charm, very easy, and i can feel the difference for sure, just to help, i have a series 2 1997 r33, it is the black wire. i just used rubber shrink tube over my wires and looks very neat and safe.. thanx for the mod info!

half way on the factory gauge is approximately 7psi

+7 on the gauge is ~14psi

hey is this true?, when the gauge is up to +7 thats 14psi?, damn, mine has always went to the +7 and i do not have a aftermarket boost controller or blled valve?, any one know why this is happening?, i do not know all my mods in the engine, but there is a dump pipe that has one pipe going of the side to the same pipe and both sides going to exhaust?, i did hear a guy say the internal `waste gate was takin out?, but i dunno, havent looked and i cannot see any external wastegates any were? help?

yea thats what i was just thinking, killed my friends wrx, so think im running to high.. hahah damn, thanx for clearing me up about the stock gauge, never knew that at all.. wonder why they just dont make the gauge to 7psi reading as they want you to run that :whistling:

hey dezz thanx 4 that. still shocked that the +7 is 14psi, ive always thought it was 7psi, hehe.. i couldent find any info on the net about the stock gauge and what nissan mean on there stock boost gauge reading

looks like im, boosting a bit to much,, hehe, found this: 700 mm/Hg, which is about 13.5 psi. and 400mm/hg is around 8psi.. cool i get it.. crazy factory gauge can go to 13.5. found some info after 3 hours of looking,,. just incase any one else wants to know and this happends while moding .. thanx dezz!!

Edited by seriesII

just did this little mod, just did a T connection with the black earth wire and grounded it, it worked, its just a little mod for better response low down, its mnot gonna win u guys races, I dont know why you bother with the switches...not worth the hassle, if you want a switch get a in cabin dual stage boost controller.

Gr8 simple mod, cheers!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
