Just dropped a newly built engine into my 89 GTR, and installed a new Innovate SCG-1 Boost controller wide band O2 at the same time. Put in Nistune ECU and went to start the tuning process. I've got it running, but pretty rich WOT and wanted to take the boost up to 1.2-1.4 bar and clean up the fuel trims thinking higher boost may even up the richness on WOT. The car will not push more than .8 bar regardless of gain, or duty cycle settings on the boost controller. I have tried everything, even tapped a line just after the turbines combine before the air enters the intercooler. Nothing over .8. I pulled of a line of the solonoid and it will boost like crazy, had to quickly let off throttle as it went up to 1.45bar on the pull, which tells me the actuators are working...Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? Actuators are T'd into each other and I was pulling the other source from the plenum right under the #6 throttle, also tried running a source from the "twin Turbo" collector?

HKS 2530's with oversized outlets, 264 poncams, NAPREC Port and polished head w/ 1mm over chamber, adjustable HKS cam gears, 1mm hks head gasket, N1 rods, n1 oil pump, n1 water pump, 680cc HKS injectors, 65mm downpipe, forged pistons.....should be putting out some decent power.

Yup, all that tried. With the innovate SGC-1 unit I discovered with twins you have to set the "spring pressure rate" setting well below the stock spring rate. My turbines are .8 bar, I had to tell the boost controller .22 bar to gain control. Any higher than that no matter what "waste gate duty cycle" or "gain" setting is used it will not do anything. Once you get control of boost you have to mess with the duty cycle and gain as normal. I have finally gained control but have not had luck achieving stable boost of of 1.5 bar. The closest I have been able to get is 1.3 spike to 1.1bar stable. I like the unit and features but it is PITA to dial in. Be aware of this issue for any one thinking about this unit.

Dyno tune now finally complete and put down 592ps @ 1.1 bar.....I really wanted to run 1.5bar. Still running the stock intercooler, fuel pump and a zietgen exhaust with premuffler.... Ended up using FCON-S as my tuning shop "STF" could not figure out NISTUNE mapping.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
