Okay so sorry it's been so long.

I had an old post from a few months ago explaining my issues with my rb25 not holding boost to redline. I can't find it anymore so I have to start a new one.

Problem is it hits full boost then drops of to 11/12

Psi by the end of the rpm. Originally it was thought there were leaks and the rear housing was to small (.63)

So fixed the boost leaks! And slapped a brand new gt3076r .86 rear on

And I still have the same problem. I thought maybe the boost controller was doing it.. So wile on the dyno we adjusted the spring to 16psi and ran no boost controller and the result is the same! With no boost controller it still drops passed the waste gate spring pressure?

I give up! Anyone had this problem?

Mods

Gt3076 .86 high mount (genuine)

Stainless high mount

Pro boost wastegate 50mm

880cc injectors

Greddy plenum

Intercooler

Blitz duel solenoid boost controller

Microtech lt12s

Hey mate, this is by no means abnormal.

What boost controller were you using?

An electronic boost controller will have an option to hold boost after it peaks.

I use a GFB ge-force 2 and the setting is called sensitivity or SENS. it works flawlessly, I could hold 20psi to redline if I wanted. I think it was about $280 from MRT in Sydney on special

Just had a look at pro boost. I would be getting g a decent gate on there asap. That pro boost one doesn't inspire much confidence.

The stainless manifold seems to be build well. That's not saying it's not the

Problem. The wastegate port comes from both sides of the manifold then joins to 1 pipe.

The wastegate could be the issue. I only used it because a Friend had one on his vl making 500hp and seemed to work well.

Maybe the wastegate is 2 big?

As for the boost controller I'm not clear on its operation as the tuner set it up this is the model controler

The wastegate is bigger than you need but that shoudn't be the problem -its how well it works. In my opinion its essential that everyone learns how their wastegate and boost controller works. I must say I am a slow learner and it took me a fair while but often everyone will assume that someone else knows what they are doing or has set everything up right. Do a lot of Googling and find out just how your boost controller works and how it should be set up so that you can eliminate problems.

Thanks for your help, iv tried looking up my issues and if I could bring up my old post from early this year you would see all the things iv tried now to hold boost. Iv hit a dead end. The only thing left sounds like new exhaust manifold and wastegate. I would have thought my sbc boost controller would be able to make it hold. But even if the gate is set to

16 pound the boost drops below that.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
