as topic states. i have a sliding performance hiflow. non max oversize and she runs out of puff at 16psi on my 33 gtst

i thought they were rated to 19 psi?

im not very happy.

fixed the leaking plenum and runing 17...drops to 16 through the rev range. it dosent make any more power after 16.

only managed 231 rwk @ 16psi.

i have all the supporting mods too..injectors,z32afm...ect.

i was expecting alot more out of this turbo.

anyone else have this problem?

cheers

it probably wont solve anything. im over spending money on power mods

just wanted to see if anyone has/ had the same problem with the turbo.

it is awesome to drive regardless of whats happening. i was just expecting more out of this turbo

I had the same probs... E-01 and all it would get to was 16-17psi... got it to 18 but ran out puff ... although I got 276 rwkw at the 18psi wringing its neck - ended up running around on 263rwkw @ 16-17psi...

Didn't worry about the lack of boost as I had reached the rwkw the turbo was rated at.... Since upgraded to a GT35R... Evil_weevil now has my old hi-flow!

16psi max seems a bit low for the turbo, thought youd be able to squeeze a cple more out of it. Ive got the same spec unit as you. being auto with piggybacks/stnd.injectors its about 40rwkw lower then yours at same boost. Mines got more in it tho.

bet you one thing tho - its bloody awesome on the street 'ey? if it aint broke dont fix it, or sell it and buy a name-brand item. for the price they are a good buy, understandable tho youd be pissed with the setup you have not being able to run that extra 1-2psi now and then. at the end of the day tho its just a power figure on a dyno, how it drives is another matter.......................................................

my Stagea is pretty much just nowfinished with the mods, very happy with my turbo choice selection. could have done better for twice the price but had a budget to stick to and will never regret using a Slide highflow. rounds off my overall package quite nicely.

i dont regret the turbo at all. just thought it had more in it. it spools up real quick and im happy with the power for the boost its at. but yea just wanted to run the maximum on it and squeeze more power out of it.

think im gonna take it back to him and run 13 psi again. i made close to 220 rwk on 13. least it will be safer :)

for the sake of 10-12rwk it'l be on 3 psi lesser, so meh

Hope you spoke to Aaron before questioning his products in forum?

i specifically said this isnt a flaming thread firstly.

i am satisfied on the performance if the turbo at this boost level and wanted to see if people with the same turbo had the same problem.

is freedom of speech not good for you?

what dump/front/cat/catback have you got?

custom bellmouth 3 inch front/dump stainless steel.

makes full boost by about 3400-3500 rpm.

i dont have a standard actuator, i have a hks one. the software in my ebc has been upgraded also

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
