that is the way it was instaled and my thoughts on the problem are either a intercooler pipe connector has poped off or a boost line has come off some where. and its running rich and wont come onto boost at all wont idle and if you hold the pedle in at the same spot it will idle the jump 500rpm then go back to where it was and do this in perfect sequence. if anyone can comferm this or disagree with this plz tell. cheers stuart

Hey mate, if your still in the market for a turbo, Ill be selling my HKS 2530kai bolt on turbo for R33 GTST within the next week or so, reason for sale is im getting a 3076R installed. The turbo has done around 8,000km and has very little to no shaft play.. its a very responsive turbo and has great mid range power.. PM me if your interested for an inspection...

PS. in that pic above, it doesnt look like you have blocked off your stock solenoid, someone correct me if im wrong, but isnt the stock solenoid still connected to the ECU and therefore tells the ECU there is nothing connected to it and cuts out fuel (therefore the popping)?

ive added pics below of mine, the stock solenoid is sitting behind the Turbosmart T, notice i got 2 hoses still connected to the stock one and the one thats meant to go back to the wastegate is blocked off..

Hay

ok bout to put my boost t on finally and need some help,what is the safest amount of boost i should put it up to, the only thing i have got on my car is stock turbo, frount mount and 3" exhaust and its putting 183rwks so i am aiming over 200rwks i herd 12 to 14 psi is the most i should go to is this correct

thanks

stock ecu? going over ~11-12psi will probably feel like you have hit a wall @ 4500-5000rpm. the ecu kills off all the power makes a few large pops and bangs in the exhaust and then continues on. the easiest way around that issue is to just stick to 10-11psi.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
