ok im still battling away with my boost creep problem for staters i have an rb25 series one with a series two turbo, FMIC, bosch 044, malpasii fuel reg, full three inch exhaust i have a dump pipe its the replacement style elbow you can buy of ebay which goes into a custom 3 inch front pipe, using an rb20 wastegate acuator, pod filter, no bleed valve or EBC just striaght to hose to wastegate, and also what i think is my problem a set of hks cams not exactly sure on specs but im pretty sure there to 256/264 ones and stock ECU i have an SAFC but it isnt tuned yet. Now for my problem, i can get it to hold boost of 10psi under heavy load or about 75% throttle in any gear but if i try full throttle it holds for a split second then creeps up to the point rich and retard (about 14psi) kicks in and dies in the arse and i let the throttle off. also if i am nailing it on about 75% throttle it will go all the way to redline on ten psi happily but if i hold it there then push the pedal to the floor it creeps it just doesnt like full throttle.

things i have tried:

the dump pipe (as above)

the old rb25 acutuator 7psi

new 3 inch cat

new muffler only have one on the system

bleed valve GFB atomic

and finally i have taken the turbo off and ported out the wastegate hole and cleaned up the entry and exit have not enlarged the flapper though.

havent tried an ebc i cant see how it would help as it cant even hold a small 7psi with the old wastegate

does not have the stock boost control solenoid engine in a s13 now

have swapped hoses, and checked for any boost leaks all fine in that department

i have wathced the SAFC and aiflow meter is maxing out whch is causing the R&R i know the SAFC should iron out the low end of the rev range maxing out but i dont like the idea of it climbing to 14psi and beyond on a cold night.

On a hot day after rich and retard kicks in for a little if i hold it flat it does come back dpwn to about 12 or 13psi and holds steady there so the 14psi on a cold night really hurts the stock ecu. my theory is that the cams are flowing more gas than wastegate hole can cope with so it ends up going through the turbine, if so what are my options.

if you have actually read all this thankyou for listening and any help would be greatly appreciated i dont care how dumb the idea is you have spit it out it may work for me thankyou

This is the second RB25 i have ever seen do this. We have tried everything aswel, even new HKS turbo, still creeps!

1st thing would be to get a aftermarket ECU so you dont have the fuel cut happening... and new AFM.

Z32 & FC would be fine.

Try disconecting the wastegate arm off the flap and leave it wide open, 1 would think that it would make no more than 7psi at 7,000rpm. We also tried this and got 15psi???

Creep starts to happen always at around 4,500 - 5,500 rpm, and keeps making boost like a super charger.

I would like to know the answer to you question aswel.

woo hoo im not alone i have tried disconnecting the arm and wiring it open i still get the creep. i have looked into the power fc but the problem being it will still creep and not cut out which is fine but the standard turbo will throw itself apart. the next item on my todo list is a decent batmbl dump pipe then after that i have seen a t3 to t3 flange with a external gate adapter on it so you can run standard everything with an external gate which is bigger. looks like i would only have to extend my lines alittle which i can do and then get the screamer plumbed back in. if you had the dollars you could buy a whole new manifold and external gate setup with new lines and stuff as the only ones i have seen are high mount which is a pain to swap over when you want to keep the stock look. your description of your boost creep is just like mine.

and by the way are you runnning bigger cams by any chance?

I wouldnt be running cams if i was using an S-AFC, you might aswell go the full hog and get a FULL ECU in there to actually make use of the cams, the S-AFC really doesnt do you much justice to be honest.

I say, drop the exhaust from the dump pipe and then see what happens :)

And you dont NEED an external gate, you have another problem which you can only fix by trial and error dude.

And EXT GATE is not the answer, especially on a stock turbo.

I have a feeling that the above (dropping exhaust) still might not fix it, and what you have is the good ole e-bay special dump is not letting the int gate open fully.

Hence it will bypass some air, but once your on WOT (Wide open throttle), its simply unable to bypass enough and is spiking

im not sure there's some 'phantom' problem here.

i think its all normal, and operating as its supposed to.

you've changed the r32 actuator and youve done exhaust upgrades. the r32 actuator is rated at 0.85kcm2 which is 12psi. the stock ecu has a ramp for "excess airflow protection" and its a scale that ramps up, as rpm and load increases. its not an exact cut based but a sliding scale. 12psi is certainly enough to activate it under most conditions.

i can't see a reason why it would happen using the stock r33 actuator, did you confirm a max boost of 7.2psi when using the stock 33 actuator?

my advice would be just get a real ecu, you would benefit from more average power everywhere once tuned and setup properly

paul i know what your saying about the sliding scale once it jumps outside of its map it does hit R&R (particularly with the cams its sucking in alot more air than usual) because depending on how hot or cold the weather is i hit it all across the rev range some times if i nail it 1st it just dies right down. i did check the that it holds 7psi under load it did but WOT it creeped up the same wih the r32 actuator holds ten fine the creeps when i stand on it. i really would love a power fc but dont have the dollars to buy and get it tuned the SAFC will serve its purpose for now, ill be happy just to have it running right for now, power fc will be coming down the track

at risk of soundling like a tool, why wont a ext gate fix the creep/spike its bigger and will flow out the gas i need to flow.

i cant see the neighbourhood being a big fan of me test driving straight out the dump either wow that would be loud but it has be to done.

have you checked the actuator and flap for movement and play?

the service manual show you how to check and test this.

it sounds like its not opening correctly or not enough.

there should be no logical reason an r33 actuator would spike to 12psi if its working correctly and has nothing intercepting the signal.

where is the signal coming from ?

forgot to add fitting a power fc and tuning it would be great but i would still have the boost creep and my std turbo dont like 15psi i dont care that im hitting rich and retard i knida expect it with this setup, i just want to stop the overboosting then i will deal with the R&R.

Sorry if that sounded like i was having a go at you i wasnt, i really appreciate your help its good having more ideas thrown at me it gets me thinking about what i can do to fix it.

off the intercooler pipe about a foot from the compressor i put it nice and close, the flapper does have movement in it with the wastegate arm off you can move it up and down a little,i tried this on mates skylines and they have no movement

ive got a batmbl split dump and no problems at all.

with controller in off mode it stays on the actuator spring rate

with controller on it stays on 0.85 bar no worries, doesnt spike or vary.

thats using a hks evc3 the older style one

A friend is having this problem on his R33, he has a Batmbl dump pipe and a GCG high flow.. We haven't tried any other actuators. There is a separator that extends between the dump and exhaust gasses on his Batmbl dump. I thought the wastegate flapper might be fowling on it.. Do you have the separator on yours PaulR33 (or others)?

Perhaps GCG replaced the wastegate flap with a larger one and it is fowling? We have a compressor and will drop the dump off and check things next weekend. I'll keep you updated..

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
