Guys - time for a group hug

:grouphug:

OK, the attached pic is the pipework and solinoid off of my series 1 R33 GTS-t.

See the hose on the left how it has a red band around it. Well that indicates where the restricot is in the pipe.

Have a look.

Can someone explain to me how adding a restrictor to the wastegate line can *limit* boost rather than raise it (or at least postpone it)? This is a serious question - as I understand it, placing any restrictor in the wastegate line will slow the response of the wastgate actuator in relation to the manifold pressure. Obviously if some well-respected people like Mark Tillbrook are saying that doing nothing except removing the restrictor will give you more power, then there must be some truth to it. Can anyone clear it up with a solid explanation?

JAGR33 - sounds like your car is a bit of a weapon :P Not disputing your claim of a power/boost increase, but I would suggest that much of this increase came from the cam gears. It's amazing what effect dialling in the cams has on not just the running of the engine, but also the building of boost due to different valve openings. Also, if the exhaust and pod were put on at the same time then they would also have a sizeable impact on boost. At a guess, the reason so many people recommend removal of the restrictor is because it makes it difficult for an aftermarket boost controller to have "full" control over the wastegate - a case of too many cooks, if you will. On a stock engine (or at least one with the factory wastgate system in place) I would leave it in, or risk losing boost response. Again, correct me if I'm wrong and you can back it up with a solid explanation of why.

I'm not going to dispute the presence - or lack thereof - of a restrictor on a non-GTR because I just don't know, suffice to say that if your car has ever been in need of a wastegate line replacement, I dare say it was replaced with standard vacuum hose, without a restrictor, as it'd be cheaper and easier to get hold of than the genuine Nissan item.

The restrictor is there to limit the volume of air going to the bleed valve (or factory solenoid) to ensure that boost is controlled better.

Many tuners (even ICE) use restrictors in the line going to a bleed valve to limit the volume of air the bleed has to "bleed off" so that spikes can be reduced.

ADAM SERIOUSLY IF I WANT TO USE CAPS LOCK I WILL OTHERWISE MIND UR OWN BUSINESS, AND YES I AM AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC AND THIS IS A RESTRICTOR AND NO IT WONT CAUSE THE TURBO TO OVERBOOST ALL IT DOES IS FREE UP THE VACUUM LINE TO ALLOW MORE BOOST TO BE APPLIED BUT IT WILL ONLY BOOST TO 7.5PSI WITHOUT AN EXHAUST OR WITH AN EXHAUST 10 PSI . GUYS DON'T WORRY THIS WILL NOT HARM UR TURBO OR MOTOR. ITS BETTER THAN CUTTING WIRE 53

I don't understand how "freeing up" the vacuum line will allow more boost to build up? :confused:

By this logic, more pressure in this line will mean the wastegate shuts earlier = less boost

Also, it is normal for a std car to boost to 7.5psi and then to 10psi with an exhaust with no other changes.

Revhead, I see what you are getting at, but from what I've experienced in the last week, tells me that there is a difference with taking out the restrictor.

Just to clarify, my full exhaust and pod filters were installed months ago, therefore they wouldn't have increased the power from 185rwks to 215rwkws. Once I took the restrictor out, the dyno showed 200rwkws (boosting to 13.5 psi, but holding 12.7psi). Therefore an increase of 15 rwkws. Another 15rwkws were extracted from dialing in the cams.

Also my mate took out his restrictor in his R32 GTR and reckons the car boosts much harder, and an increasing in performance. We're not talking 'mind blowing' difference, but its definetly there.

As far as technical explanation goes, I can't help you there but I definetly experienced a difference....

Hope that clears things up.

All this talk of removing on a 33... are we sure we WANT 13-14psi on the stock turbo? I've read so much about stockers only holding safely around that figure, why would you want to remove the alleged restrictor?

Buy a bigger turbo then :(

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.

      Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha

      I don't think he's got it on a gauge and on the ECU. I think he's got it on the gauge and on the HPTuners DAq thingo. Remember, we're talking about oil temp here, not something that the ECU is actually interested in for its own sake.
