Hi, I am a newcomer to this forum, It's my first skyline and a first turbocharged car as-well,
Couple weeks ago I purchased 1994 R33 GT-s with some mods, but It has trouble getting to boost.
mods as go:
Forged pistons,
Greddy style Intake,
Top Mount mani
Z32 - Ecu&Maf
FMIC
Blitz Dual SBC - Boost Controller.
HKS External Wastegate?? (Hidden deep under manifold, have to remove some stuff to see what it is) looks like early version of HKS wastegate.
LS Coil Pack
GT3076 Ball Bearing with .60A/R
HKS SSQV valve.
The thing is Boost comes on only after 4-4.5K RPM and it has no transition, after 4k it's instant full boost. I tried playing around with Gain & Set on boost controller, I can adjust the boost to my needs but cannot get boost point to come lower.
As I see, this setup should produce boost much easier, I suspect it could be the wastegate, as I see boost coming on at ~3K gets up to .3-.5 Bar of positive boost than back at 0 and I can hear dumping air sound
Is there any way I could check operation of the wastegate? or If you think there could be any different reason for this behavior
