Hey guys, Ive got some boost issues i cant figure out, its driving me NUTSS..Well, im not making more than 0.1 bars of boost (havn't tried boosting it yet). The car drives o..k with almost no lag until the time boost is meant to kick in, you dont feel the lag once your in boost mode, but both my A/M Apexi boost gauge and stock gauge show me that im running under boost, also the car doesnt have that 0.5 bar pull it once had. i have tried the following with no positive outcomes:

- Change all vacuum lines

- Change wastegate to R32 wastegate (as soon as i changed this, i had a boost up to 0.7 bars but with heaps of lag and backfires, so pretty much no difference)

- Change Intercooler Pipes (not core, although core has some dents in the fins which i doubt would cause a leak or anything)

- Replace Cat with De-cat Pipe (incase i had a blocked cat)

and....nothing else so faar.

i should also mention, i have takin my car for a dyno tune and the guys there tottaly gave up on my car (but back then the car was having some other issue which has been takin care of)..by the way, when it was worse then it is now, i pulled out exactly 143.2 hp...isn't that sexiful hey..lol

Neways guys, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, im wanting to mod my car but dont want to mod it and increase possibilities of a dead engine..

hey guys, found out that my boost gauge vacuum hose was almost off!!!. fixed that up and im now getting 4.5 psi below 4500rpm and 6 above...

its gone better although i thought it was meant to be getting 10psi with the r32 actuator??..am i not right??..

Disconnect the vacuum lines on the boost solenoid (located behind your airbox/pod) and join the two ends thus bypassing the solenoid. This way, the amount of boost you run will be dependent on the actuator; in this case, 10psi.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
