Hi,

Just wondering when the standard turbo spools up. I havn't actually looked at the turbo to make sure it is standard but i guess it would be.

Anyway it spools up at about 3500-4000rpms. I thought it would be a bit earlier.

Is there anyway to advance the spool up?

I installed a FMIC yesterday and it didn't make heaps of difference. It made it feel more punchier, as in, it hits full boost at once rather than building up.

anyway there seems to be a pretty big flat spot in 2nd when i hit 75km -90km and then 90-100 is good. I heard that resetting the ecu every so often can improve these problems but not sure as I havn't done it yet.

I think a powerfc is next on the agenda.

R33? Flatspot? Running too much boost.

 

Stick around 10-11psi.

 

3500-4000rpm for a R33 stock turbo is way to high.

Thats around the territority of the ol' RB20 running 1 bar or so. (Depending on driving conditions)

I have a R33 S2 and it spools between 3500 and 4500 running standard psi...goes like a dream for me...advan is puttin it up to 10psi for me in couple of weeks and throw it on the dyno and see wats goin on...but i dont see a prob with mine

it goes well. just a lil flat in spots. mainly in second gear- higher revs.

I have a boost controller which is set to 10psi but dont use it daily.

now i have the fmic i probably could run at 10psi. Might try later. Just have no where to test the car properly. 70km speed limits all the way from work to home :D

Was just interested to see whn it should spool up.

ive got a stock intercooler and i hae no probs...i get low boost at over 3500rpm then the baby kicks at 4500rpm nicely ...il b interested to see wat happens wen advan puts the boost controller on at 10psi wen at stock boost it goes this well all ready...just pick a straight quite road at night and test it like i did lastnight u can really see how well it runs in the cool air of the night ...im way impressed

uhh, i probably mean hitting boost like 7psi at 3500

I spose it kinda builds up b4 then. havn't taken much notice. since the fmic it seems to hit all of a sudden at 3500. gives that sinking feeling. I just thought it should come on full boost earlier.

still i think i want to get an electronic boost controller (only have turbosmart single stage atm), i've heard they handle things a bit better.

Hey Jaff.

I had a similar problem on my R32 when my ehaust manifold gasket blew out. the turbo just seemed to take longer time/higher revs to start pumping out decent gas. in case you're curious my car made a horrible noise coming from the manifold on startup, sounded like a tractor? weird. give it go before you shell out big bucks. good luck.

meh to rb20det all round..

JaFF: sounds perfectly normal.. One way you can reduce the spool up is to add an exhaust camgear (i noticed a fair change with this in), get cooler air in (shield pod, or air feed it), reduce rotational mass (flywheels, etc), also try reducing the backpressure of your exhaust system will probably help.. maybe a dump pipe or get it heat wrapped. Electronic Boost control also helped mine spool up a tiny bit quicker (or at least smoother).

I think the smoother and faster the engine revs to a certain point, the quicker the turbo will spool. There is probably proper physics there somewhere which somebody can explain.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
