Well I just installed a Boost gauge and a 2-Stage Turbo Smart controller.

Stock boost was running 5psi and spiking to 6psi between 6000-7500 rpm's.

Now running 10psi low boost, 12psi hi boost with no spike.

The boost seems to come on lower down in the rpm.

I think I have just become a boost freak........what a rush.

BTW a big thanks to 51Jay and Co. for helping me put it in.

So guys, running stock intercooler on the car? Are you getting the big slump in boost around 4-5000RPM like I hear the R33 will do if theres no aftermarket ECU? Or is that only when going over 12PSI?

Hmm... I might go for a quick cheapo boost upgrade while I save up for my FMIC, PFC and AVC-R if the drivability is still good.

Need to get my HiTech exhaust ordered and on there.. stock system is strangling the engine I am sure :)

I've got a blitz dual sbc type s. It electronically controls the level of boost, I've got 2 settings; 0.6 bar and 0.8 bar. I use 0.6 bar for most of my daily driving and especially in the warmer weather as I'm still running the stock cooler (I've got a Trust front mount on its way). I only run 0.8bar mainly at night when its much colder. I cant stress how important it is to back off the engine if you've got it on a high boost setting and you hear detonation (it sounds like something rattling in the engine, like marbles) cos if you keep your foot buried you'll be rebuilding that engine :)

thats what im affraid of and whats keeping me from running more boost on mine as i cant really afford to be rebuilding the engine.

I get my boost guage this week and will also get a bleed valve... i want to run about 9 - 11psi until my GTR FMIC gets here from Japan.

At present the only mods i have are a POD Filter, CAT Back and Re-mapped ECU.

definately take it easy on a hot day... alternatively you can do other things to reduce intake temps (the main thing causing detonation on your setup) by installing a cold air partition for the pod filter

i cant see how anyone would really want to thrash it on a 30degree day, so nice for cruising!

Intake air temp on a hot day on the move is usually around 40-43degrees. Sitting in the staging lanes on Wed night it was running 55-63degrees at the end of the 1/4 mile it was back down to 42 degrees. A bit of a burn out brings it down from around 50-55 to 45

slayer, over 12psi on the stock cooler is bad news. I used to drive around with 10psi without a s-afc, and there was no getting past the slump in power (not boost) at 5000rpm. Some ppl don't have the same problem, though. Seems every R33 ecu reacts differently.

rob77, whats the trust fmic gonna set you back, including fitting and piping?

Unsure yet cos it hasnt landed and the workshop is unsure what price they paid for it. When I ordered it the exchange rate was 1aud to 64yen, when it shipped (about 1.5-2 months later) it was 1aud to 68-69yen. Plus you got GST and import duty. Plus it was there 2nd dearest kit for a R33 gts25t, the dearest one includes a intake plenum so that the return pipes can come up the right hand side of the engine. Just the intake plenum is about $1500.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
