hey just installed a greddy copy plenum...went on ok but 1st drive.............. feels very responsive in first if you floor 1st and hit second i get heaps of lag and if you go third even worse.....4800rpm in 3rd boost still climbing.......but if you jst cruise in third and wind it out progresively putting the throttle down it boosts fine hits full boost by 3600rpm ...i have plumbed the wastegate actuator into a nipple on the plenum itself...it has got a long hose to get arond the motor...i am changing it when i got time to add a nipple to my pipeing turbo side.......so do you think the lengthy hose may be a problem....i????or maybe the feed for the wastegate from plenum is no good??? bleed valve maybe??? i dont know whats your thoughts.....????? take so long to build boost after gear change ...oh and the blow off valve is now mounted on the pipe straight after the turbo ( the metal one)

yeah gaskets and aviation quailty gasket goo...i thought boost leak but it always hits hard in 1st like is great but its only once you changed it takes to long to build boost....plenum suface was machined from factory it was flat... put straight edge on it....and sat it on a machined surface was not warped or bent......so i thought maybe not boost leak because in first i have no probs.....im thinking something with waste gate maybe.......

im putting a nipple jst after compressor housing...to see if it helps....

block off the standard bov????? ya reckon???

its plumbed back like standard again ..bt yeah got a turbosmart boost t witch i think is the culpret....i adjst it and boost dont change so hmmmmmmm

if i was running entirely off the wastegate actuator no beed...what boost should i see......like 5 psi maybe ????

Well its more than likely going to be resulting from whatever you changed/touched.

So go over every single part that you touched, and check its connected/together/not leaking.

If you touched a hose clamp, make sure its done up etc etc.

Until you go over everything and triple check your work, its going to be hard to say as boost can leak from anywhere

First thing is first check for any vacuum/boost leaks and the usuall as everybody has stated.

If you are using a after market ecu it may require a tune as you have changed the induction .

Just like when you install a new larger turbo . If you where running std crossover intake pipe and went to the side mount plenum you are changing all you volicity and dynamics of how the engine receives it air. You are going from a long runner setup to a short runner set up.

I may be wrong but it's just a thought..

hey problem solved...dont ask how....was going to block bov to see if its positon so close to the turbo was an issue....so instead of blocking it i thought i would just take the air line going to it off...so thats what i did..went for a drive no difference in the lag.....so i went home put air line back on went for a drive ...now it dosent lag between gear changes....and my boost is settled down not unpredictable...

so i dont really know what changed but its all good....went for a drive with The Mafia in his car yesturday...anyone who doubts what he has done i will vouch for him his car is a monster nice and stock looking but geez!!! made my car feel like a hyundai!!! MORE POWER!!! very quick

cheers for you imput

Have you made sure your throttle cable is at the correct length?

Sometimes after plenum installs the throttle cable is too long, the butterfly will not open 100% even though you have your foot to the floor.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
