just a quick question r33 stock turbo ok what would happen if i ran a hose from the pressure side of my intercooler ie oulet side of turbo straight to the actuator bypassing the boost solinoid .would it just boost to what ever the spring in the actuactor is set at whatever that may be or would it over boost

cheers

on a stock r33 GTST I think the actuator is a 5 psi spring or close to. By doing this you will get less boost.

Not true, think about what you have said....

My solenoid is disconnected as it was playing up and bleeding off 4psi, once unplugged boost retuned to 7psi with some spiking as expected.

This guy is correct

vvvvvvvvvvvvvv

the boost solinoid actually bleeds off air pressure so that the wastegate is harder to open and requires more pressure.

OK Mate,

Let me clear this up. When the bleed actuator is connected and working it bleeds air out of the hose between the intake piping and the waste gate actuator.

Lets say that the waste gate actuator spring is rated at 5psi therefore limiting the boost to 5psi as the waste gate opens. Now lets assume that the bleed value is set to bleed 3psi... This means that the intake will have to be pressured to about 8psi (5psi for the spring rate + 3psi worth of bleeding) to make the waste gate actuator spring open and limit the boost.

Therefore by removing the 3psi bleed you effective reduce the amount of intake piping pressure needed to open the waste gate which means offcourse less boost in the intake manifold...

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
