Sorry to be silly ! But are you reading the boost of the ome gauge ?

I put a blitz return flow fmic and a 3inch JJR bell mouth on with a boost controller. It would spike to 14psi then it would drop down to maybe 12 11 psi.

I ran that for a year and it was all sweet !

Many would advise not run more that 10 psi !

@gts boy i was planin to put on a ebc and boost it upto 10 psi(had a drive just now).since its almost there should i go ahead with that mod?will runin it 12 sometimes be too risky?

my mods are full 3 inch xforce varex with split dump and k&n drop in filter thts it.

I wouldn't buy an EBC to raise the boost 1/2 a psi!! Not unless you can get one super cheap second hand. The only benefit you will get from fitting ANY boost controller at this point will be to keep the wastegate closed as it is coming on bost, which will make it feel MUCH faster even if it doesn't actually have any more total power up top.

12 psi is not risky at all. If it spikes up there every now and then (or realistically, even every time it comes on boost) you're not going to damage anything. The turbo will be fine - it won't shit itself at 12 psi any more than it would at 10. Sure, it could shit itself, but they're like playing Russian roulette anyway. The ECUs on R34s are a lot less emo than on R33s. They still tend to get well rich and retarded, and if you try to run 12 psi boost all the way to the top end then it might start to feel a bit ragged and slow. I have recent posts (in the last week or so) where I describe setting up my boost controller on my Neo and what it felt like at various boost levels. My physical mods are similar to yours. Good exhaust, FMIC, standard R32 airbox but opened up at the inlet, Metal turbo intake. Meaning that your ECU's thresholds of emoness should be similar to mine.

You need to Nistune your ECU, get the turbo highflowed, get some injectors, a fuel pump and a Z32 and tune it up towards 250 rwkW to get any better results than where you are now. A tune on the standard ECU and fuel system (maybe upgrade the pump for safety) will nett up to 210-220rwkW on a Neo, which is pretty good, but you keep the risk of the turbo going poo.

Nistune prices? See the Nistune website perhaps. It really is that easy.

Also, I am tempted to send you to lmgtfy.com for my recent post. I will have to search for it. If I have to search for it, then you could just as easily seacrh for posts by GTSBoy with the term "boost controller" or similar.

lol!Next mod has to be shift kit for trans. They take a crazy amount of time to shift between gears. First mod for any auto should be shift kit.

    • 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.
