hey i was talking to this guy and he was positive that his car was running 10 psi. now his car is completely stock, i mean he has an aftermarket muffler and a boost gauge. his gauge reads 10 but i cant see that it has been boosted by any method and it sure doesnt drive like it run 10psi.

anyway i said that stock boost is 7 to 8 psi depending. this is right yeah?

  • 4 weeks later...
he got bleed valve or seomething?

one of those turbo smart ones

You can get extra boost by doing as I've done.

...and yes......7-8 psi is about standard on a R33 GTST (RB25DET).

Small hole drilled into the wastegate rubber hose. (directly before WG).

Innitially, it's hit and miss.

I made up 5 small lenghts of pipe with holes of various sizes. (.5 to 1.5mm), till I found the right one, (i carried them in the glovebox for easy change over).

Making constant 12-13psi (measured) for the past year now.

I had the GFB bleeder valve, ....cops pulled it out for me.

The hole in the W/G pipe is undectable!! (and also has the same effect as the $80 GFB!!!)

I re-gapped the plugs to .8mm at the same time.....could never bo back to std boost now!!

Also have been running the 'black wire' mod too, on the solenoid (also undectable), so boost cuts in earlier. Works great, that mod!! (search the forumn, but make sure you earth the right wire!!!).

All this works for me, and the car makes a conservative and safe no- bullshit 174RWkw....not bad for standard...thanx to these forumns!!!!

Mark.

Hey mark.. when you say standard, how standard??

cause i have read that R33's run about 140rwkw stock (7psi).. im just curious (QRI05E) if ONLY 5 psi of extra boost have given you 35rwkw?? or you have a 3" exhaust and pod aswell???

Oh yes, and to help answer the topic question... i have seen R33 GTSt's fitted with an R32 GTSt WG acutator which are set to 10psi from factory therefore no bleed valve required!!! maybe your friends R33 has one fitted??

Well there is such a thing called Boost creep, From Small mods like Exhaust and pods, When I got my car in with exhaust and pod the boost gauge was running around 12psi, I got told from a good source that mild mods that you would norm wouldnt think anything about can cause boost creep. So that could also explain about your friends R33

Hi QR,

I don't know the standard specific power output at wheels of 33GTST, your numbers seems ok. By standard all I mean is there are no internal/turbo/ECU changes to my car.

3 inch zorst and old foam Airinx pod (as per my Avitar description) is what I've got. So I guess that 'in-combination' with these 'shallow' and basic mods, I would be making the extra Rkw.

By the way QR, I can actually put my car back to 'stock' within a couple of hours and feel a dramatic difference. (much slower on take off, which is all I'm interested in by the way!!!)

Picture is of my 'bleeder valve' prior to Police kindly removing it for me!!

Hole in the WG pipe works just the same, (says a lot for these devices!!$$$$$)

ps .I don't think the R32 actuator you mention relates to me??

Thanx mate!!

Mark.

12psi on a 33-t with nothing more than an exhaust and a pod?

:D:D

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
