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….

    • 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.
