i got 33gtst, i was racing with a friends 180 .. it has similar mods, pod, exhaust and he also had afm which i don't ... he is running .8 bar which is standard for a 180, thats 11psi?? theres something wrong with my boost ... mechanic said theres a leak somewhere and its only at 6 psi ... now what i'm wondering is how much more power would i get if i fixed it and set it to 8 psi??

he beat me by a couple of car lengths, i tried to beat him a couple of times but its too slow ... could i beat him if i fixed my boost problem??

or rather .. how much more power can i expect from an extra 2 or 3 psi??

he has a afm but u dont???

mean he has a z32 afm and u have the stock 1?

if hes got a z32 afm and is running stock turbo and about 11psi then hes car would be running shit, as u dont need a z32 afm unless u got bigger turbo and running alot more boost!

And more boost doesent always mean more power expecially with stock cooler, turbo. Its all about tune!:P

what i meant by that was that he has one of the apexi display things .. it wasnt a the boost controller but that avr thingy ... oh i dont'know .. i always get confused ... avr avc ...av something ...

:lol: avc-r is a boost controller!

and a boost controller wont give u anymore power unless u actually run more boost with it.

i know its a bit off topic, but if a person person had a boost leak, how would you go about and fixing such a problem;what things would you need to check or replace?

check all the rubber hoses off the actuator, boost controller for leaks. Also check that your IC piping is not loose.

well i haven't done it yet .. i'm just too lazy to bother about it hehehe .. but i suspect that the intercooler might be loose ... i haven't had a really really close check ... also i can hear this small sound as if air is leaking around the engine sometimes ... is that normal?? like if u leave ur engine off for a long time .. say couple of hours ... is there any sound around ur engine??

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
