Not Holding Boost In R32

That's pretty normal for an r32 stock turbo, especially without a boostcontroller (just using the stock actuator alone). If you have a look in the forced induction section, people have posted responses on how to solve this problem.

Personally, i'm using the jaycar iebc. It has allowed me to sustain 10-11psi all the way to the redline, and build boost much quicker too.

Mine doesnt drop off... then again it doesnt reall come on till 5,000 (HKS 2535) :)

Its just because its the standard turbo. Nothing to worry about i have driven many a standard R32 and theyr all the same.

A full exhast system with dump and hi flow cat give a bit more in the top end.

my 32 done the same. i had cat back exhaust at first. i finished it off with a turbo back system and defo felt more gains, esp midrange to top end. still same boost though.

then put a fmic on. at first it *still* dropped the boost. but now, for whatever reason, it holds a steady 12psi...

no controller or anything.

i think its just normal. many posts on here saying that drop boost (even me! :D)

Mine does it too, I was worried about it aswell.. i'm running at 12psi stock turbo..have a FMIC and pod.. and catback exhaust It just feels like its restricted or something.. if its normal then thats ok... I was stressing i was f**king the turbo. somehow..

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
