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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
