Boost Only At High Rpm, Rb25 W Mods Gt3076r

Hi, I am a newcomer to this forum, It's my first skyline and a first turbocharged car as-well,

Couple weeks ago I purchased 1994 R33 GT-s with some mods, but It has trouble getting to boost.

mods as go:

Forged pistons,

Greddy style Intake,

Top Mount mani

Z32 - Ecu&Maf

FMIC

Blitz Dual SBC - Boost Controller.

HKS External Wastegate?? (Hidden deep under manifold, have to remove some stuff to see what it is) looks like early version of HKS wastegate.

LS Coil Pack

GT3076 Ball Bearing with .60A/R

HKS SSQV valve.

The thing is Boost comes on only after 4-4.5K RPM and it has no transition, after 4k it's instant full boost. I tried playing around with Gain & Set on boost controller, I can adjust the boost to my needs but cannot get boost point to come lower.

As I see, this setup should produce boost much easier, I suspect it could be the wastegate, as I see boost coming on at ~3K gets up to .3-.5 Bar of positive boost than back at 0 and I can hear dumping air sound

Is there any way I could check operation of the wastegate? or If you think there could be any different reason for this behavior

You could remove the gate and use a compressor to test it?

I doubt you will get it on that much earlier with a highmount manifold, but make sure the VCT is operating, that will improve the response a fair bit. z32 needs some mods to control VCT I seem to remember, is it Nistuned?

Yes The ECU is nistuned and at least I was told that VCT is operating correctly. I have not gotten around to see whats what on this car just preparing homework for now.

I might think of installing stockish manifold if it help's with the response but I will probably try to stay with top mount and work on other flaw's like horrible fmic piping and a downpipe with dual 90 degree bends hoping to get at least some more respone and check if everything is wired / hosed correctly, as it feels something is just missed.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
