I just fitted a Hybrid FMIC to my Series II Skyline, Now my problem is my car is now running ridiculous amount on boost roughly 15-20psi when I look at my boost gauge, which I know its un-safe for my stock turbo, when I hit 3,500 revs my car spools to boost then my car starts to jerk so I keep my revs down low, I've only got a FMIC, turbo back exhaust, and af, no boost controller. I'm wondering if anyone esle has this similar problem that could shed some light and tell me whats wrong with my car.

sounds like youve left off the cooler to actuator pressure line off, so the actuator never opens so the wastegate never opens, aka boost keeps climbing for ever. this can be fatal so be careful. check your lines and the air tubes running to the turbo area

Hey, Ive also just fitted a hybrid cooler to my R33 with standard turbo, turbo back exhaust, bleeder valve, and mine does the same thing, except i run low boost (9psi), and it still jerks at high revs???? Could this mean I need to get a bigger fuel pump, or Do I need a fuel cut defender fitted. Ive checked for any boost leaks and still cant figure it out. Would a electronic boost controller fix this problem or power fc????

Could be richening up to much in which case you would need a SAFC or Power FC you. Either that or you may have faulty coils.

G'day,

I think I know what your prob is mate, When you removed the standard piping you cut into the vacuum line running of your standard intercooler pipe but prob did not plug this back into another vac line somewhere so you will have full boost, this is very very bad, dont drive it. T into your inlet manifold somewhere ie BOV so the wastegate can read some boost. This will fix your problem.

Cheers

Im no expert on this sorta stuff? what do i have to do? sorry if im sounding stupid but Im worried about my car.

Did you put the cooler pipes in yourself? There is usually a vacuum hose nipple on the standard cooler pipe which leeds to the wastegate which hangs of the turbo. Because you have changed this pipe you will have to find somewhere where the wastegate can read boost from, Cut your BOV vacuum hose and tee of that into the satandard t piece off the wastegate and hook it up. If this is already hooked up then your problem lies elsewhere.

I had the same problem with my skyline i fitted a front mount intercooler and the car wont rev past 3500 i changed the spark plugs and gapped them to 0.8 once i put them in started the car i could tell that the idle was better when i drove it it went hard, very hard so it solved my problem try that first, Always try the easy stuff first i learnt that the hard way

I went the all cheap kit cost me around $600 and works like magic can feel the power straight away but the car is running rich and is dumping fuel so ill need to tune the air fuel ratios. Just cut the BOV vacuum hose and tee into that it easy. I think you actually get a better reading from the original spot so n the future im gonna weld in a nipple to my piping.

Heres some pics.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
