Front Mount Problems

[bwebbie1]

i have had a problem with my r33 since i installed a frount mount from just jap and done some other bits a pieces at the same time, it wouldnt hold boost now ive going through everything to try and fix it and i put my standard intercooler in now its fine, my question is why would the frount mount make so much difference.

colder air = denser air = more oxygen molecules....

what mods do you have when i first installed mine my boost went from 7psi to 9psi...

are you using a jjr split dump/front pipe?

they cause boost spike issues. i'd also look at getting rid of your manual boost controller they are a common cause of boost issues.

i'd recommend you leave your stock dump pipe and just buy a front pipe, it's more then enough flow for the standard turbo and will elimimate boost creep. or buy a good quality unit and invest in a good ebc.

no its not jjr dump pipe its of my mates r33, also tried an ebc when i had the front mount on and that did not help still overboosted, so i just took the front mount off and there is no problem.

interesting, what sort of boost was it running when the fmic was installed? if its creeping to 10-11 psi thats nornal.

with the frount mount 10 pound until 4 grand then just shoots upto 14-16 pound then settles around to 10pound at 6 grand, with the standard runs a nice constant 10-11 pound. i really dont know its really frustrating tho.
