Hi everyone, Running a GenT1000 kit on a LS1, having a drama making boost. ive checked all cooler piping and vaccum lines, checked rear wheel on turbo (T51R garrett) and thats fine. next to check is wastegate (bugger of a spot to get off just to check) ive changed bovs out incase they were staying open, but there not.

Problem is its like its struggling to make boost, ive turned boost controller off so it will run spring pressure ( 7psi ) and is only making 3psi. has anyone heard of the tial 44mm gate having dramas like this? if the spring broke would it make more then 7psi boost or would it make less?

Thanks

ps: i tried the search button also :P

Ive discovered that the spring pressures arent really what Tial say they are. I mean, i had a 15psi spring and was making 19psi, then i changed to a 7 pound spring and was making 11 psi.

You'll also notice that the spring rates differ between the GCG Turbos website and Tial USA website for the same spring. For example a large yellow on GCG might be 7psi, but on the us site it'll say its 10psi.

Weird.

lol, shouldn't you be at www.ls1.com.au?

Or are they too bogan stupid over there to help you?

it isnt engine based problem, people on here a running tial setups aswell as big turbo's. didnt post here to start shit, i came here because most of you would prolly have upgraded turbo setups. Internal gated turbo's are most common with ls1.com.au.

thanks for the reply also mate, boost controller doesnt run with the engine management, 2bar map sensor sorts out timing, pressure and fuel etc.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?

      Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.

      It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
