So iv disconnected my stupid factory dual stage boost controller on my r 34 and fitted a tee for now just to get a few more psi from the factory turbo before I put all my bigger stuff on , problem I'm having is its just a dog down low it feels like it's not barley making any boost and is really sluggish through the bottom end of the rev range ! Iv taken the boost solenoid off near the power steering res and taken the other part of the top of the rocker covers near the firewall and I'm running actuator to tee then straight into hot pipe off the turbo , any suggestions on how to get it running right or is this just how shit neo motors are iv owned 3 rb25's non neo prior to this and never had a problem they all rev freely and the boost is easy to tap into this thing is slow as

Hahaha.

Neo engines aren't shit just cos you can't figure out boost control.

Anyways, running more boost on an untuned ecu is pointless, just wait until you can afford to do things properly with a tune.

What part near the rocker cover on the firewall?

The map sensor?

There's your problem

lol....I would be re-mounting your MAP sensor..

if I were you I wouldn't even remove the stock solenoid. Cut the tubing and terminate the tubing with screws or plugs. Then install your boost tee hidden away.

That way if your engine bay ever gets looked over by the popo or RTA you look like you running standard boost with no controller…

Iv got a haltech ecu , 3076, 1000cc inj 40 mil gate all the shit off my track car waiting to go on but that's not going to happen over night , just looking for 10 psi to have a bit of fun till I deside to do all that , the only thing iv taken off are for what I thought was the dual stage let me know if I need to put any of this back on , car runs and drives fine just a slug down lowpost-76499-13970979536854_thumb.jpg these are the only things iv removed

Yeah forget about the other stuff at this stage as iv said I'm not putting that on yet , so is the boost sensor or map sensor as your calling it can I ask why It needs to be put back on ? Doesn't it only send signal to the ecu for over boosting or does it serve a larger purpose ?

Everyone here is trying to provide help…

I suggest you mount the stock solenoid back in where it was and plug it in… then joing the boost lines up like they were from factory. Then cut those lines and plumb off the ends and leave the solenoid plugged in.

Now add your boost Tee inline and see if you have fixed your issue.

Personally if I had all those good bits sitting aside you had I wouldn’t be messing and putting undue stress on your engine/turbo.. I would wait and fit all your goodies then play

Just my 2c….

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
