Boost problem

Hey peoples,

I got a 93 r33 gtst, its got a 3 inch exhaut and a k&n pod filter among other things but they are the engine mods that im aware of. It has a greddy boost controller-just the turn dial one from in the engine bay. Whe i got it i knew that the boost was tweaked abit and have since been playing with it abit. I was having problems with it and people have told me that what im experiencing is boost cut!!! If i was cruizing along in 3rd at round 60 and then plant it once it hits between 3 and 4 grand it jolts and comes good then jolts and so on. So i turned the boost down 2 notches and tried again, still happening, so another 2 notches and now it doesnt do it but there is a major difference in power now. I mean on a cold night it was pretty good at the previous boost levels aslong as i stayed above 3500rpm in 3rd 4th n 5th. So on the highway it went really well but round town i notice the stuttering more so now. I changed the plugs and put iridiums in and also changed the fuel filter. And gave it a service. I only got the factory boost gauge and was unsure of what it was running before but it used to stop at 7 but now after turning it down 4 notches it is on bout 6. Much much slower on boost now. Not happy with it and want to know if there is anyway to get around this boost cut situation without getting a front mount?

sounds like a good tip..... only with mine the problem has been cured by removing the cheap and nasty mechanical boost controller.....all I need to do now is work on restoring the kick ass power I was used to. From what I have learned recently a good electronic boost controller is the way to go.

Cheers

OK - if your getting a reading of 6-7 on the factory boost gauge that means your running about 13-14psi !! (7 on the factory gauge is close to 1 bar).

It will be the factory boost limit or your plugs. Regapping your plugs to 0.8mm might help.

I wouldn't recomend that you run more than 10psi if it's a series 2, and 12psi if it's a series 1.

yep, it's a series one.....I have an auto meter boost gague, with the origional disconnected. As mentioned above the car now runs smooth, I just need a reliable and controlable way of reaching the 10.5 psi it now reaches through a restricter. I don't think it needs to boost any higher than that.....just want to get there a bit quicker!!
