Hey ya'll.

Ok heres how it is. I got a R33 GTST 93 model with a hybrid FMIC, 3.5" turbo back with screamer pipe and HKS Super Dragger muffler, turbo smart duel stage boost controller, HKS pod filter, NGK Irridium plugs, umm i think thats about it.

Anyway me and my mate have been playing around with my duel stage and we set the low stage on about 8-9psi and the 2nd stage at 15psi but second stage when hit makes a higher whistle sound but doesnt reach over 10psi and spikes so it goes to different levels. Just wondering if there is a stock boost cut or what could be the problem there?

Also is there a rev limiter at 7? because that just seems a bit low when it still seems to be powering along and my silvia i used to have cut out at 8 grand??

My car some times when you give it a flogging (especially at 2nd stage) sometimes seems to start to choke, Its as if it cuts out fuel or something i dont know? I was thinking i might have bad fuel (we dont have optimax here any more) so i chucked some Nulon pro strength octain boost through and it kind of solved it but the thing is it doesnt do it all of the time. I duno its confusing to me :rofl:

Lastly i want to be quicker, What would be the best options for me.

I was thinking of saveing up for a e-manage, and larger turbo (but dont want any more lag then i have already on stock).

What other alternatives do i have without braking the bank. I was thinking of getting another 2k out on my loan or just doing stuff over time.

Oh wait one more thing :wassup: I want some new lowered struts and springs with good handeling but not to rough. The silvia i used to own had koni adjustables i put in with lowered king springs, handeled really well but was just way to rough. I want something with a softer ride, good handeling, and a nice lowered height, Was thinking adjustables as well and once again not to much. Hopefully less then $1500.

Be great if people could help me out with my delemers haha

Cheers :D

What condition is the rubber boot in between the air filter nand the turbo? this could be sucking closed and causing some of the problems you mentioned. You are also likley to hit the factory boost limit unless you make changes to your ECU.

PS - yes there is a factory rev limiter

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
