Just A Couple Quick Newb Questions From A Yankee

[Travis Bickle]

i have a gtst r33, series 1 skyline. wondering the best route to go to turn up the boost on the stock snail. i was told the greddy profec requires an hks fuel cut eliminator....

is there a boost controller that takes care of raised fueling needs?

i feel like a total retard going from high comp NA hondas to boosted nissans.

thanks for the help.

How is the condition on your turbo? Stock or Aftermarket?

I think R33 have ceramic internals for their turbos, so don't go too hard.

If you got aftermarket turbo you can go a bit more boost.

Then you might need a front mount intercooler.

I don't have much experiance with boost controllers, but Im sure the big brands like APexi, Blitz and HKS will do a good job.

Ppl then might say you need a APexi Power FC to map out your air / fuel mixtures.

turbo should be ok, car has very low miles. im not looking to get ridiculous. i am getting a FMIC in a week, thats why i am asking, because i know with a front mount, i am going to get a pressure drop.

i guess stock is something like 4psi to 8psi dual stage(you guys use metrics?) and im lookin for i guess something like 12psi on the stock turbo with a front mount.

that should hold me over til i pick up a atermarket manifold, turbo and external wastegate.

just go get a maunual boost controller for ya local rev head store and you can safly wind her up to 11-12psi if you got a front mount really limits of the stock turbos rear wheel, there is a thred in diy on installation of a manual boost controller

when i read you guy's posts, i read them wit han australian accent in my head. is that weird?

If you get the correct size intercooler, boost lost should be a problem, I don't think..?

BTW ppl talk about removing the boost restricter in the hose going to the boost solenoid... There is talk about this on GTR's but have a look at the GTS-T.

The restricter is a little cylender inside the hose with a smaller diametre in resulting in a boost restriction. Squeeze the cylender out and plug the hose back in and you should get a Factory Safe Boost Increase.

I haven't found any solid evidance to prove this and best is to ask your mechanic.

Someone might wanna clear this up for me...

Nice user name

you talkin ta me ?

No boost restrictors in 33 gtst's that I know of.

They do run a dual-stage solenoid though. Have a look in the DIY section there should be an easy mod to make it run 7psi all the time instead of 5psi then 7psi. After you've done that get a Turbotech manual boost controller and wind it up to 12psi.

She'll be right mate.

watch out for R and R if using stock ECU

this is the route im going, i ditched the little hose from the boost solenoid to the "t" fitting with the restrictor in it, by passed the coolant hose thru the throttlebody and tonight i am ditching the dual boost gimmick, looking for a manual boost controller and a boost gauge tonight as well. that should give me enough kick in the ass until i put a top mount, garret, FMIC.

thanks for the help.
