Hey Guys,

Just after a bit of help hope you's can point me in the right direction!

My car is a r33 gts which I dropped in a 25det motor. dont ask why :)

For some reason it's been dropping boost! It was running 6 for a while then dropped to 5 now its only running 4 pound which I think is strange when the standard boost is 7. Ive come to the conclusion it's a boost leak but It dosnt sound like there is one! as in no noise! :D

Ive tryed everything like changing the coils, plugs even hooking the standard boost solenoid back up but nothing still running 4, Tryed connecting the vacum line from the intercooler to the wategate but still only 4? ive tryed using a ebc by gizzmo but just didnt know how to use it with duty cycle and all so I got a greddy profect b2 and funny it dosnt work at all no boost only 4 setup by my mate which has one!

I herd that it runs 5 pound if the standard solenoid is disconnected but I tryed hooking it back up but only 4!

My car mod's are: standard 25 turbo

k&N Pod

Oil catch can

3inch turbo back exhaust

Front mount cooler

Walbro 351 pump (was happening before pump)

Splitfire coils

Ngk plugs gapped 1.1

Much help would really be appreciated as their is no one Around my area that would specialise in these cars as I have travelled to a few workshops 5 hours away only to be told they had no idea (scraching their head) Or just dont want 2 know about it!

Cheers Guys :woot:

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      Import insurance in 2025

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
