Restriction In The Exhaust

More boost will make a restricted system worse, if the rear housing or manifold is restricting the system more boost will dramatically increase manifold/back pressure coursing detonation

Get an EBC, they are better all round and will hold the wastegate shut longer by not allowing it to creep open which will make it ramp onto boost quicker and you can try different boost levels to better see what's going on

My thoughts too. If nothing else the tuner can TRY and hold a steady boost level to redline - if they try and hold 20psi and they run into flow issues or holding boost issues they SHOULD be able to build a bit of a picture of which area of the setup is starting to hold things back.

My feeling at this stage that you may be getting near the limit of this kind of combo and are probably already making decent power - though the bleed valve could be exasperating this. As I asked in PM, what discussions have you had with your tuner about it? They will have more of a perspective than any of us on how the setup is behaving... we're just taking pot shots from what you have shared.

I found a VW forum where a guy has a few similarities to your setup, he mentions that the seimens fuel injectors are a bit unreliable, he is using 35psi and only getting 420ish hp and high reading dyn

I used a 3inch xforce rear oval muffler for 320 easy kw's, doesn't look as nice as your one though. Can take a pic of the insides to compare if you want.

My tuner said that at 23psi it wasn't making any more power so they backed it off to 22psi on a safe but still optimal tune, recommended Type A Poncams for more power and an EBC to hold boost steady up top. EBC I will get, cams not, they didn't mention anything about exhaust manifold being restrictive or housing. Yavuz did say that with a bigger housing I could get more power but that's only after I asked, so not really recommended me one unless I really wanted to go that way. He said these Precisions will easily boost to 30psi with e85 and the right setup.

OK - the fact he recommended an EBC is a huge hint, if it's not holding the boost he wants and it's making respectable power for the boost it is running at peak power then that is a pretty big indicator I reckon. Holding more boost at higher rpm = holding more torque at higher rpm = more power :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
