R33 Overboosting

Hey guys need a bit off help. At the moment I'm running stock boost of 6 psi. I originally had a boost tee hooked up but it was boosting up around the 15 psi mark. So I removed it and threw it away and ordered a new boost tee. It arrived today and I hooked it up and I'm having the same issue. On the lowest setting it is boosting around the 15 psi mark. So I brought a new vacuum line and hooked that up. Still over boosting. I've checked everywhere for any vacuum leaks and can't find anything. Am I missing something. Also yes the boost tee is hooked up the right way. The arrow is pointing to the actuator.

Update

So I wound the turbo towards more boost. Still over boosting around 16psi. I've shorten my vacuum line from intake manifold to my turbo tee to my turbo actuators and still no difference. Bit lost

Does your car have an aftermarket intercooler and piping on it? The stock cold side cooler pipe has a nipple on it for boost reference. I connect boost controller to that. You may want to change your vacuum line to somewhere before the throttle body.

While it's still advised, I recently did it myself, and did it off the black pipe coming from the turbo, I doubt this will fix your issue, I had mine running off the manifold for years and it was fine, just changes the characteristics of how it comes on. 

If the actuator is working (i.e. 5/6psi with no boost-T) then the only factor is the Boost-T itself, How far did you wind it to the '+' side earlier? and when doing so does the winder go into the body or out of?

When I'm winding the turbo tee towards the more boost +. It is coming out of the body of the turbo tee. I wound it all most all the way towards the + but stopped cause it stopped clicking and I thought the knob was going to come off.

Whilst I don't disagree, he had the same issue with the previous boost tee he was using...so unless they're the same model of boost tee, I think it'll be in the plumbing of what he's done or something to do with that solenoid that changes boost depending on RPM.

Speaking of, have you tried grounding that yet for the constant boost pressure?

Make sure no splits/leaks in the vacuum hose going to boost tee.

They are two different turbo tees. One was turbo smart and other is neon. As shown in photo. Why solenoid are you talking about. If it's the one where the factory boost lines went to. That is not in use anymore cause I've got the turbo tee in line. Hoses are all is good condition.

Well assuming you can connect that hose to the boost tee directly to the actuator and get 6psi, it can only be the boost T responsible.

I'd just get an RB20 actuator and fit that...think they are 10psi stock from memory.

      Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later

      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.

      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 😅
