Hey all,

don't know if anyone has experienced this one before.... I've got a bleed valve on it to bring it up to about 10PSI but through the rev range it only hits to 10psi after it revs past 4000rpm. anything below that, its still at the stock 7psi. Can anyone help with any 'constructive' :D suggestions to fix this problem???

Bleed valve is a cheap way to increase your boost, but not as reliable as Electronic Boost Controller one. solution perhaps is to get a proper electronic boost controller like Apex'i AVC-R or HKS EVC.

I have a bleed valve as well, still saving money to get an EBC.

for $135 you can get the Turbo XS High Performance Boost Controller (HPBC)

it has 2 adjustments.

1 = increase boost

2 = reduce or eliminate wastegate creep.

the second adjustment is what makes the boost come on earlier and harder.

R33's standard boost is 7psi.

R32 is more like 9 or 10psi standard.

as mentioned, if you put a boost controller on, you need to use that INSTEAD of the standard boost solenoid...

Probably because the stock turbo cant make more than 7 pounds of boost below 4000 revs.

i doubt it as the r33 series 2 spools up real quick coz of the plastic comp wheel.

at the moment with my half complete project i can get 12psi boost at just under 2000rpm with lightened flywheel, adj cam gear and pfc tune.

I think you have your stock boost solenoid still connected in the line. Bleed valves are cheap and nasty, dont ever expect good boost control with them.

predator666: nope, got a greddy boost gauge :)

yes you better. I think my greddy profec b spec 2 also helps bring boost on early!! Only think with the spec 2 is that you have to *** around with it alot to get it to work the way you want

yer.. with my profec it comes on at about full boost at about 3500rpm from what i remember.. not bad considering just S-AFC, zortst, cooler combo. it'll make a difference..

really depends on the bleed valve.. some are worse than others..

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
