R33 Boost Kickin In Late

[dansky33]

Hey guys

I have a r33 skyline it has intercooler,apexi filter, 3inch cat bak exhaust and splitfire coilpacks.

So my problems is that boost is coming on around 2500rpm but not kicking hard till around 5grand. Any ideas what it could be?

Cheers

I love the way you note your type of air filter but not the turbo or type of boost control, what boost level etc. So i'll assume it's n/a.

In which case, there's your problem..

All skylines have intercoolers. Well sort of.

Please provide some useful info for a semi helpful response.

What's your definition of a hard boost kick?

[hardsteppa]

^^as above. Would you describe it as similar in power to the hard roundhouse kicks Tong Po delivers in the early scenes of the classic Van Damme movie "Kickboxer"?

Specific references needed for comparison to be able to advise further.

It could be the stitching in your seats

Could be tons of stuff. Is the engine running smoothly throughout the rev range? Have you checked the waste gate?

What turbo? What boost control?

If these are too technical questions, you can browse your state's section for a good place to take it (or ask someone to diagnose the car for you).

Dim sim turbo?

[Trex]

Turn the boost up to 11

Turn the boost up to 11

This is best done by adjusting boost controller to 1.21 gigawatts

NA?

[hardsteppa]

you could also check, the NOS might have been set to activate at 5000rpm, that would explain the Tong-Po-like kick you're getting then.
