i cant believe you would screw it in all the way to see what would happen.

damn man! that would seriously do some bad ass damage to your engine! those turbotechs are savage when bringing theboost on and they work.

it was probly running 25psi or something silly like that.

take to get it dyno'd and check the afr's as well because you could stuff your engine otherwise.

also buy some bcpr7es spark plugs and gap them to .8 before you go there.

No worries, thanks for the help, I'll just keep it in for now and not boost it. Definately will buy a gauge tomorrow.

i can't beleive you installed and tested the boost controller without a boost guage! you could seriously do some damage to your engine.

your car is likely to splutter due to ecu fuel cut because of free boost or very high boost. remove the controller and ensure you install a boost guage before you start fine tuning the boost controller, otherwise you may damage your engine.

also, i wouldn't advise running more than 12PSI without a dyno tune because your car may lean out.

cheers,

dave.

Yeah I definately stuffed up, I know that the more you screw it in the more boost you will get.

I took it out now, it's running stock boost.

I've run into another problem though, as soon as the car hits 5000 revs and over it sorta dies in the ass. I think it may be leaking boost or something. It's been doing this since I installed my front mount. Has it got anything to do with my HKS SSQ BOV?

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      Of course it would be - But you shouldn't be here.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.

      Does the r33 have a cabin filter?

      None on 33s.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
