Yeah I am fairly certain that the SET GAIN is too high which is causing your issue.

Your setup seems correct, I also have a blocked off pipe which appears to be in the same location.

It was blocked when i got my car, so the previous owner in Japan must have had an EBC in it, but removed it.

I am at work atm, so i will have a look in a bit and let you know...

From memory these are the following settings for my Profec B Spec 2 on my RB20.

SET = 55%

GAIN = 5%

SET GAIN = 0.53bar (7.687014 psi)

WARN = 0.95bar (13.77861 psi)

LIMITER =15%

I find reving out in high gears it sometimes reaches 1.00 bar (14.5038 psi)

I also find, that it does not reach optimal boost until i am reving at about 4500 to 5000 rpmish. I would like it to reach max boost sooner and hold all the way out through the rev range without creeping to much at high rpm. But the gain is turned down all the way....

Since it has gotten colder i have dropped it down to about 50%ish as it has been hitting 1 bar a bit more frequently :D

Haha cant complain about that :banana: Ill try your settings and see how i go with it, there shouldn't be too much difference between the settings between the Rb20 and the Rb25? Cheers man

There shouldn't be any difference when it comes to boost levels.

The power will be different of course due to a larger turbo on the RB25, but basic settings should be the same.

If you have a series 1 R33 with a steel compressor wheel it may be a little laggy so increasing the SET GAIN should allow the boost to come on quicker, but once again i am no expert and i have a R32 so i am only going by what i have read :banana:

Yes there will be a heap of difference between RB20 and RB25 settings unless you're running an RB20 actuator.

I also wouldn't put your SET GAIN to 5psi, A) it defeats the purpose of this function and B) that is when your stock actuator will be opening and it might create some issues.

Start conservatively with your SET GAIN at say 7psi then slowly bump it up until it starts to spike then back it off slightly.

A good way to tune SET GAIN:

1. pick desired boost level (12psi or 120)

2. tune gain to suit

3. SET GAIN to 3psi (30) less then max boost (Therefore 9psi or 90)

4. go for run, and watch the guage, does it spike or not?

a. Spikes: reduce SET GAIN in small increments

b. No Spike: increase SET GAIN in small increments till spike occurs, then go back 1 setting

I might have to give that a go today. Im currently only on 5.5psi for my Set Gain. Might bump it upto 9psi and see how i go. Set is quite high at 55% and Gain is at 15%. This sound right for around 12psi? Anyone feel free to add what settings they have for around that amount of boost. Cheers

What your settings are really depends on the turbo and the support gear, if you have a big, high flow exhaust you wont need as much set to get to the boost that you want, etc...

With my high-flow s2 turbo, to get to 11 pound I have about 28% set...

I would turn down your SET to something a little lower and and go for a few laps and then gradually turn it up until you reach the boost you require.

Turn your GAIN all the way down to 5% for the time being....

Mine SET is at 50% to 55% depending on the weather, but yours may be different to reach your desired boost....

rather than start a new topic.....will do a stone-age bump. Having a small issue with mine, which is keeping the boost at 12psi in the mid-range revs. Seems to be that if I increase either set or gain, it will cause boost to go well over 12psi once you hit the higher revs, but boost is only 10-11 psi in the 3500-5000rpm range. This is for a hiflow stock turbo on r32 actuator.

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
