Went over to my cousins house the othe night for a few drinks and we ended up looking in my engin bay. He noticed that the boost controller was plumbed back on itself. Was my car overboosting, and if so wouldnt the turbo have shit itself from 18 months of overboosting

Cheers Jon

ps can someone tell me how to put photos in I have taken 2 to show what is going on :D

It sounds like the waste gate is still connected to the plenum line, so in effect the solenoid carn't bleed off any eccess leving u with less boost if anything.

? for u getting a car from WA & want to register it in NSW are your compliance rules the same, do u have a australian compliance plate?

The way it was set up was ok. The boost solenoid (that was bypassed) allows the boost to jump from 5-7 psi above approx 4800 rpm. If it is set up the way it was u will not have the 2 stage boost. In otherwords u will get 7 psi from as low as 3000rpm. Its up to u how u set it up, I would go back to how it was.

The way its set up in the before picture is no good as u thought as it will over boost but from memery the size of that tubing will only give u approximatly 14psi thats why it wasn't hitting the boost cut. the after picture is ok but will only give u 7 or 8psi like Damo said. If u ask me ur better off bleeding a bit off to give u 10psi. Won't give u the bottom end punch of 14 but will increase life of engine and turbo and give u almost the same top end if its a pre 95 model.

P.S. my quickest time of 13.8 was done on 10 psi :flamed:

the series 1 and 2 have boost cut at 12psi and more.

Without that little nissan boost controller colenoid connected you would only be running 5 psi.

The nissan one bleeds of a little, and runs the car at 7 psi after around the 4500rpm mark.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
