[[[d a n n y]]]

Heyall.

i was told that there is a DIY trik to run 1 bar of boost.

it was about a copper rod in the vacum tubes i think it was?

does any1 know about this

and whould u b able to help me?

[[[d a n n y]]]

ok it's a solonoid how do i come about removing this and run the car on 1 bar?

[krzysiu]

You talking about a GT-R or Gts-T?

[[[d a n n y]]]

GTR sorry my bad.

[krzysiu]

hmm i've heard people playing with the solonoids but only in gts-t's. Never heard it done with a GT-R.

[[[d a n n y]]]

hm...my car was running 1 bar when i got it

but after myengine rebuild it's running on 0.8 bar

and all the hoses and so on have been replaced...

so..the solonoid would have been replaced too

[krzysiu]

There is a thing in the Tutorial section which tells you what to do but its for a RB25DET

On the drivers side of the car near the boost solenoid is a vacuum line with a yellow marking around it. Inside there is a copper/brass boost restrictor. If you remove that you will run ~1bar.

lol thanks mate..

can u show me a pics mate?

Danny, if the bloke that put your engine together has replaced the boost restrictor he has done it for a purpose..... i wouldnt go playing with boost unless the builder of your engine has given you the go ahead....

most gtrs have the restrictor removed.

its easy to find danny, just have a look at the boost solenoid and u will see one of hoses coming out with the yellow stripe, remove the restrictor under the yellow stripe if u want to do it.

[ido09s]

most gtrs have the restrictor removed.

i understand that, but Danny's has had a full engine rebuild in the last few months.... seems his mechanic may have noticed it gone and for running in purposes has replaced it to keep the boost at a minimum.....

Removing the restrictor won't quite get you 1bar, just under... you'll need to bleed some more air from the vacuum if you want 1bar

i think that also depends on if you have an exhaust, because have seen about 1 bar on a stock gtr, and 1.1 bar on a gtr witha turbo back exhaust.

I agree, with stock exhaust you should get almost 1bar, but with a turbo back exhaust possibly a little more. Best to put in on a dyno and find out

bah..i cant find it..

can any1 show me a pic of it or mayb tell me what it's connected too?

[ido09s]

Danny, i just remembered, i removed the restrictor from that car when Luke had it so unless you know for sure that your mechanic replaced it your not going to find it, cause its not there.....

[[[d a n n y]]]

yeah i remembered with the engine rebuild he replcaed every signle hose.

to new hoses
