not exactly the same as yours but I installed a fmic on mine and everything is fine. After about 4k rpm if you notice a drop in the power or it isnt building as fast as it should - one of the pipes isnt connected/tightened properly

exhaust will only play a role if its way too big or too small other then that its just noise if its all stock

I have a Neo in an R32 with a good FMIC and 3" with good cat and dump. Just running off the wastegate with no boost control (didn't install the R34's solenoid) I could not get more than 6 psi. That's from a 5 psi actuator. Engine is in perfect health, etc etc etc, blah blah.

You shouldn't be getting too much boost (if that's your problem) from just an exhaust and FMIC. You might gain a psi or 2, and that might get you up to nearly 10psi, but the engine and ECU should be perfectly happy there.

I get to much boost goes to near 1bar constantly and tyred everything boost leak tested aftermarket controllers I even ported they wastegate hole for the hell of it but still 1bar even of just the wastegate actuator so it shouldn't be over 10psi should it unless something's wrong hey only thing else I could think of is ecu has a malfunction ?

ECU malfunction cannot cause that much boost.

So, you're telling us that you have completely dismantled the whole turbo system trying to fix this problem? So you know that the wastegate is 100% free to move, not jammed in some way? Do you have a dodgy split dump pipe installed? Anything else that we should know about?

Has a split dump pipe but flap moves freely vac lines anit stuffed changed all of them

3times to make sure standard turbo standard wastegate and tyred another rb25 one to

Wastegate opens when I put the compresser to the vac line and don't loose any pressure

It's like the when the car is standard it boost to 5psi then 7psi

But after the mods does .5 bar to 1bar lol

OK, so next test. Disconnect the wastegate actuator rod from the gate lever arm. Tie the lever arm so that it is jammed 100% open. Take for a drive and report back. Expect it to take an age to come on boost, but if you drive it up hill in 3rd at about 100 and give it a bootfull it should come on.

If you have an air compressor feed some air directly to the wastegate and set your compressor to push 5 7 10 12 psi in increments and just check each level of pressure make sure the wastegate actuator is opening correctly. Unless its internally seizing up it should still open at stock levels. Also I doubt your split dump is helping. I had a split dump for about a week. It was overboosting. When I tested my actuator you could hear the flap hitting the dump on the inside. It looks fine before you bolt it on but I found it was my issue.

Yer drove it without the actuator on at all makes no boost till high rpm then just makes a lil

And my wastegate flap don't touch at all opens fully backwards in the split pipe so anit hitting anything and slowly tested it to

And opens fine That's what I mean I've tyred near everything

You can test wg spring using a large plastic syringe with a vac line attached to you wg actuator with a boost gauge t'd in. That will determine actuator psi.

Then check that you wg flap dosnt foul on you dump.

If its still a problem put a bleed tap on the vac line leading to your bov.

Check out autospeed.com.au for more info on that

By contrast though, mine is fine and always has been.

So another words Mine should be ok on the mods

How about the boost sensor ? If that plays up would it do anything not the solinoid the sensor on the back firewall

No. The boost sensor on the firewall (the ECU's sensor, not the gauge sensor) doesn't act until much higher boost levels. For example, when I was first tuning my boost controller (on this Neo engine) I had a problem with the pressure regulator I was using. It was basically jammed shut. So I had zero boost control. I saw 1.2bar a couple of times before working out what the problem was. In lower gears it would do this happily, with no savage boost cut type things going on. But if I tried it in 4th gear, the boost would shoot up there and there'd be a fairly savage cut. Once I got the regulator working properly I tried it a couple of times at nearly 1 bar and there was no savage cut (although I do get some R&R behaviour evident at high loads, that's a separate issue). The message here is that the boost sensor not only isn't used to set your boost level, it isn't actually used for anything very much at all. I have a suspicion that it might play a part in determining whether to fuel off the fuel map or the VE map, but that's a separate issue again.

I broke my boost sensor (accidentally) off. Never noticed a difference ever. Was trying to figure out why for a long time haha.

shouldnt have to if other r34s can run the same mods and not have a problem should just work dam it grrrrrrrrrr

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
