Hi guys i am picking my new gts-t skyline r33 up this week and i wanta b able to turn the Boost DOWN yes i said it down

me being still on my L's and only having a non turbo silvia b4 this it might take me a while to get used to the turbo

thinking of running like 5 psi

car has in it

Pod Full

3"+ exhaust

Intercooler Front month but it isn't a 600x100x400 or whatever smaller 0ne

turbosmart stage 3 bov

it might have a boost controler in it i havn't looked the dealer didn't even know it had a cooler

what can i get to turn the boost down and up for cheap that won't screw up i don't know much about controling boost

Pleas help brands and names

if it doesnt have a boost controller then you cant turn it down, well below the stock actuator level anyway which is about 5psi. use your foot to control the power then you wont need to turn the boost down. you can disable the dual stage boost so its stuck in 5psi mode by disconnecting one of the wires to the stock solenoid. if it has a bleed valve installed it will be on the right side of the engine, there will be a 5mm tube running from the turbo area to the manifold if it has coloured T pee with a metal "tap" thing its a bleed vale. the stock value looks like this

With the R32 for example the only way you can turn down boost below stock is to use the actuator from either an Rb25det or Vg30det turbo as those turbo's run ~5-7psi.

Depending on the turbo/actuator setup you could drill the holes to loosen up the wastegate, this will lower your boost levels.

Use your foot to control the boost. :D

Bleed valves bleed boost away from the actuator essentially tricking the actuator in seeing 10psi instead of the real 15psi your engine is seeing.

So the actuator opens at what it thinks is 10psi but really is 15psi as some of the boost is being bleeding off.

Hope that makes sense. :rofl:

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
