So first off I want to say hello again, as I am new to this forum. I own a 1992 Skyline GT-R, which I bought without any modifications to the engine. This car is also my first twin turbo car ever owned.

Here are the issues I'm having, basically one day I got bored and wanted more power. I cut the boost restrictor out and the car went from 0.7 bar to 1.0 bar, which is fine, but some days when its cold out the car would boost up to 1.1 bar consistenly and it was stable for the most part, of course the was the boost leveling in higher RPM, which is also okay. I figured the wastegate springs got a bit weak over the years as the cause of the slight "boost spike".

I decided to buy an electronic boost controller (Greddy Profec) to have a more consistent boost level and regulate the leveling. I used the factory lines for my boost source to the plenum and ran new lines to the wastegates. I blocked off the lines not used as well. The EBC works great and performs as it should.

I have my low boost set at 0.7 bar and high boost at 1.0 bar. I ran into my first problem with the high boost setting, no matter what i do, the car hesistates/sputters between 5000-5400 RPM and 6000-6300 RPM, only at high boost.

I just finished the turbo upgrade yesterday, I went with some HKS GT-SS and Tomei Dumps/Outlets. While I was pulling the front/down pipe off, I saw that some previous owner stacked about 8 gaskets between one turbo dump/outlet and the front pipe. When I was putting it back together I decided to just use one gasket on each outlet.

Of course I had a nasty exhaust leak, but now thats where my second problem showed up. When I'm driving, the car runs fine but when I roll/ coast up to a stop and disengage the clutch, the cars RPMs drop past the idle to about 300 RPM to near stall. I fugured maybe its just due to that nasty exhaust leak, so I just parked it.

Today I bought a new front pipe and fitted it to the car, well the problem is still there, so I need help on these issues, and yes the boost problem is still there, basically at 1.0 bar and above, and now the boost controller is useless right now, because the wastegates are set to 1.15 bar. If someone has info on how to go about adjusting the wastegates (since its twin turbo) that be awesome.

Any good help would greatly be appreciated.

If you upgraded the turbos to make more power then you will need to retune the engine which will only be possible if you have an upgraded ecu (with Nistune chip, PFC, Link, etc).

    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done? 
    • Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.
    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
