Hi Guys,

Think this relates to the “Tutorial / DIY / FAQ”

HOWTO: RB25DET High Boost mode with standard solenoid??? But blocking pipes instead of cutting wires.

I’m very new to this and could be miles off track!!

The car – R34 GTT (S1).

The main mod that I know about is a 3” pipe turbo back. Originally it had no cat, but there’s one there now - not high flow at this stage.

It seems to be running ok, but as I haven't driven may other skylines on the open road, I don't have much to compare it to...

Can you check out there photos and tell me what’s going on? Any + or – this will have, etc…

I'm having trouble uploading pics, but here's the attachments for now;

Thanks for your time,

forgot to add, the standard boost gauge seems to be working.

boosting to approx +.5 or a bit more. I think that's normal for a stock R34 GTT

any ideas???

anyone else have these pipes blocked?

I've tried searching but can't seem to find much on this.

bro

i just used one of those $35 manual boost controllers currently being sold by turbotech. check for sale forums,, they r pretty good - used it to get rid of wastegate creep

anywho,, that seemed to work for me,, sitting on 10psi at the moment,,

didn't have to do much,, just had to block off one hose after installing it,,

i'll be in brisy this weekend if u wana check out my setup,,

btw , urs is a Series II :D

my boost always ran halfway between 0.5 and 1 on the stock gauge (even before i installed the boost controller)- and thats 10 psi (used aftermarket boost guage to check) , i only have 3" turbo back exhaust and k&n panel filter,,

Hey Afro,

thanks for the reply!!

will give you a call/pm to catch up.

still seems strange I have 3 pipes blocked.

I was wondering if it once had an aftermarket boost controller, when removing it they just blocked the pipes.

I've been told a turbo timer was once installed and had been removed before i got it.

search the forum for 'Turbo pressure sensor' and didn't find much.

especially couldn't find anyone blocking them.

still a mystery, unless anyone else has any ideas? ;)

Afro, will talk soon

Cheers

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
