Hi all,

Recently I installed a FMIC on my R33 and am noticing a boost creep at mid - hight RPM (4500 +). The bleed valve is set @10psi, but it continues to creep up to about 13psi before the redline, with no power gain after 10psi.

Also like one of the previous posts the flutter noise on the BOV (turbosmart) has slowed down quite a bit and goes off on like 5vac on the boost gauge and under 2000rpm.

Have checked all plumbing several times but no difference. Please help as its confusing the hell out of me....

So boost creep with bigger FMIC is normal then? I have a turbosmart bleed valve.

One thing I forgot to add to my original post was that ever since the installation, on cruise @ low rpm, regardless of which gear, the car sort of jolts (like has hickups) however under acceleration its fine. The only other thing done to the car at the same time was a 5" cold air intake to the pod. But I can't see how that would cause any problems... Any Ideas, anyone???

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but i have a question regarding manual boost controllers etc. My car has a pod, fmic, zorst etc, stock ecu all the usual bells and whistles. :(

however, i have disconnected the standard solenoid, i.e running vac line straight from fmic piping to wategate actuator yet my boost still slowly creeps up till redline. the car runs 6psi till about 4500 then as if it had the dual stage connected it slowly increases with the rpm to 10psi by redline. :woot: My question is, if i install a bleeder / ball spring boost tee, will it enable me to increase the boost earlier on, as in reach 10psi quicker rather than it slowly increasing to it by redline? Or will it make both levels of boost increase, i.e if i make what was 6psi go to 10psi, will my 10psi go to 14psi?

thanks

Sounds like you did it wrong. 5psi to 4500 - 5000 is normal then the solenoid opens and you get more boost.

Sounds like but i don't think so, like i said the solenoid is totally disconnected, the line runs from the fmic piping to the actuator, the hose from the solenoid that used to be tee'd into this line has just been blocked off also. buggered if i know. still anyone know if a manual boost controller will give a net increase i.e increase all boost levels by a ceratain amount, or will it enable me to bring the earlier level up to 10psi and then hold 10??

thanks, but the thing is i dont have a bleed valve atm, it is just running standard and reaching 10psi, my issue is that it reaches 10 psi just before redline, so basically what i would like to know is would a bleeder of some description enable me to reach full boost (10psi) earlier in the rev range?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
