So I recently purchased a 92 R32 GTR and had it shipped to me. I was told it was mostly stock besides intake/exhaust. After getting the car I found that's not the case. So onto the problem, when the car makes boost it hold good up to 1 bar but after it goes over that it will cut out. the once or twice iv messed with it the make sure it wasn't a fluke the highest reading I saw was over 1.5 bar. I'm not sure if its cutting out because the fuel cannot keep up with the added requirement or if the boost is cutting out. I has the stock boost solenoid removed and both those lines cap'd off. So am i right to think it should be running off the turbo actuator pressure? When I rcvd the car it was also bone dry on fuel and i had to drive it on E to the local gas station. Maybe a clogged fuel filter?(already ordered a new one) any direction to look before I start ripping the engine apart would be great.

Side notes:

-The actuators look like they have been upgraded to HKS ones but the compressor housing still says garret

-I do know its not safe to run that much boost on stock turbos if they are stock.

Known mods:

HKS Actuators

HKS cam slider gears

Apex intake

Tomei Cat back

Some dumb hyper ground system

Stock boost solenoid delete(not sure about this)

Greddy boost gauge

step one - stop smashing that level of boost.

your gonna lean it out and kill it fast.

fuel blockage will not cause high boost, plumb the lines back into the actuators/ boost solenoid properly, if you don't know whats going on put it back to stock and get it right. it might just be bleeding to nowhere and free boosting

I'm not retarded I only did it twice. first time testing the car and 2nd time making sure it wasn't a fluke.

I'v already started ripping it apart to go as stock as i can but it did not come with the stock boost solenoid so I'm just replacing vacuum lines and making sure they are properly clamped. Also I plan to test the turbo actuators while i have it apart.

Well Figured everything out. The over boost issue was improperly routed vacuum lines and after I correct them she started running on waste gate pressure. I have since installed a electronic boost controller also. The cutting out at high Rpm's was the combo of Coil packs and installing a smaller gaped spark plug. Thanks for the advice.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
