I *guess* you could just make the hole bigger where theres power cable. I'm not 100% sure, good person to ask might be FRISKI as he's done heaps of installs on R33s and no doubt done quite a few power wires n stuff thru the firewall....

nissanpowers pic is on the $$. theres a grommet just under the abs unit where u can pass wires through. There will be wires going through there already.

when installing my stereo in the R32 i was bitching to my dad about having to drill a massive hole in the firewall to put the sub power cable through. looking i found two massive holes about the size of my fists (almost), one each side of the engine bay to place wires through to the cabin. it has some foam in there which you place back once you have put the wires through..

unsure if the R33 is the same, but take a look as there hidden away :(

u dont have to remove anything.

y can clearly see the grommet with the wires going through just near the abs unit

Im confused... I can see the existing grommets that go through but to get the hose for my boost guage through do I need to drill somewhere or is there a place I can just stick it through?

i am mounting the guage on the pillar...

just cut a small hole in the grommet and rip it abit to fit the boost hose through! Just make sure it doesent get stuck along the way on anything or u will get false boost readings

heh guess what.... I did. took a while and it seems a bit dodgy but I got it through there... kinda goes out the side and comes in where some wire from the door goes... works for me.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
