I cant wait to try this mod but one burning question bothers me. Why Why WHY did nissan make the r33 with dual stage boost to begin with? They've ruined the low RPM power and for what? Fuel economy? Yeah right. Better turbo/internal reliability? Possibly, but the engine is clearly capable of handling 7-8psi no problems. Does anyone know of any other factory cars with dual-stage boost?

Hi there

i have a stagea RS4 with rb25 NEO in it.

I have cut the black wire,

taped over the side of the ecu,

and extended and earthed the side coming from the solenoid.

I have earthed it on the strut tower bolt (front strut bolt), above the strut bar and below the bolt thingo.

IS THIS CORRECT?

AND IS THIS A RELIABLE EARTH?

that looks fine from what i can see

it should be obvious if it works

the only reason i think of dual stage

is to give the user more of a turbocharged experience

that is, self made lag or less response, then better response/top end

I would have thought it is there for safety issue....boost not so agressive down low so it drives smoother in the wet???? JMHO

hi all,

I wired this mod up this morning, works well. I wired it to an {on/on} switch inside my car. This allows me to flick the switch one way which puts it to standard where the ECU grounds the solenoid at 4500rpm, and when i flick the switch the other way it grounds the solenoid straight away so it opens and i have full boost as soon as i put my foot down,

Thanks for the mod,,,,!!

^^ I have recently done exactly the same thing. Pickup is improved, stronger midrange. It's not a HUGE difference but it does feel better.

Would much prefer to be running 14.7psi all the time though ;)

yeah im going to do the same thing on my Stagea once i get it home jsut bought it waiting for the 4 brand new tyres and RWC then pick it up for some thrashing :laugh:

cheers to the original poster. and whoever thought of this idea.. i just hope it works as good as everyone elses

This mod was great, just wanted to join and say it worked a treat, though shes sat outside due to a bananad manifold....... lol...

Great performance for 5 mins work!!! Very easy to do...

Thanks and Merry Christmas all!!! :laugh:

Did this out of boredom even though my boost controller goes in when the boost gauge goes in.

I believe the dual stage is there for safety reasons, not all Japanese owners would be race car drivers and people came in my car would shit themselves at 5 psi. Also, went for a run to test it all out, went off in first and where I usually just planted it and grabbed traction instead it just gave some wheel spin. Boost comes on around 2750... so I can see why 5 psi is there till 4500rpm as it has less of a "BOOST JUST KICKED IN Y0" and more of a "fast... ohh my 4500rpm... FASTER".

cheers for the simple mod, improve the mid range by far for some quick shits and giggles.

After reading right through this topic...I've noticed too many people listing different figures regarding the PSI pressures/readings for the stupid stock boost gauge.

Well here are the 'correct' numbers.

mmHg x100

------------------------------------------------------------------

- 7 = (PSI) 0 = (Bar) 0.0000000

1/4 = (PSI) 3.383936519 = (Bar) 0.2333142

0 = (PSI) 6.767873037 = (Bar) 0.4666284

3/4 = (PSI) 10.15180956 = (Bar) 0.6999426

+ 7 = (PSI) 13.53574607 = (Bar) 0.9332568

Well I decided to try this small mod last night...and I'm quite surprised actually how different...and better the car feels.

Great Stuff!!

I try this mode few hours ago but absolutely no changes it still working till 4500-5000 on 5PSI and than 7-8 PSI, what i done wrong??please help.... and when gauge should show on second gear or third??? or it dipends on RPM????

Ok after being confused with mmhg , and psi readings i decided to :( , and found this converter,

http://not2fast.wryday.com/turbo/boost_converter.shtml

I am not sure how accurate this is but give it a go and see what you can make of it!

:):P

Well here are the 'correct' numbers.

I don't agree with all your figures.. the dial sits at 0 with ignition on and engine not running, so it can't be producing 6psi of boost :laugh:

mmHg x100 (relative)

------------------------------------------------------------------

- 7 = (PSI) -13.5 = (Bar) -0.92

1/4 = (PSI) -6.8 = (Bar) -0.47

0 = (PSI) 0 = (Bar) 0

3/4 = (PSI) 6.8 = (Bar) 0.47

+ 7 = (PSI) 13.5 = (Bar) 0.92

I don't agree with all your figures.. the dial sits at 0 with ignition on and engine not running, so it can't be producing 6psi of boost :mrt:

mmHg x100 (relative)

------------------------------------------------------------------

- 7 = (PSI) -13.5 = (Bar) -0.92

1/4 = (PSI) -6.8 = (Bar) -0.47

0 = (PSI) 0 = (Bar) 0

3/4 = (PSI) 6.8 = (Bar) 0.47

+ 7 = (PSI) 13.5 = (Bar) 0.92

Yea thats the figure I got with that link, but i wasn't to sure if it was correct, anyway i'm about to do this mod will let you know if i can get it to work! :mrt: :sorcerer:

Edit: Wow I just finished doing this with a switch, man it works well, much more low down power over all im happy with it, i like the idea of using the switch so when it rains back to 5.

Cheers :laugh::(

After doing the mod and spending the first week doing nothing but fiddle with my toggle, I left it in "standard" mode until the other night.. nice cool dry weather flipped the switch and I was grinning like a little kid after a few seconds.

worth keeping in reserve for special occasions sometimes, otherwise you risk spoiling yourself every day >_<

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
