Hi, I am confused. My r32 gtr has the restictor olives removed when I bought the car. They came to me in a plastic bag.

I know one goes in the hose with the yellow band fitted to the boost controller, but where the hell does the second one go. I have two olives in the bag. I have never heard any mention of a second one. Most guys simply remove the one near the boost controller and get 1 Bar boost. My gtr is making slightly more than 1 Bar and getting boost creep high in the rev range with standard ceramic turbos! Not good.

Can anyone tell me where the other olive goes. I want to try and refit it and see if that drops the boost a bit.

Thanks

yeah the other restrictor goes on a hose at bottom of plenum right at the back really difficult to get too. The hose runs off plenum and goes down and joins back onto hard piping joined to block there should be a yellow band still around hose

hope this helps & good luck

Thanks for the info. I had a look last night, that hose in imposible to get to.

The funny thing is, I can feel a buldge in the pipe at the plenum end. It's hard if I squeze on the pipe, so I think it is still in place. Are there any more restrictors in the boostlines? I have two olives spare so they must have come from somewhere. They were removed when a Powerchip was installed.

I know a guy who has a complete gtr engine currently sitting on a pallet in his garage. I will take a close look on Monday.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
