Hey guys was just confused about somethng,i got a Turbosmart manual boost control yesterday,and set it up to 10 psi,its showing 10 on the aftermarket boost guage but the stock guage is stil not going over 7,should the stock boost guage be going upto +7 or to the very top end of the stock boost guage?

the stock guage is in mmhg x 100

(milimetre of mercury) x 100

god knows why...

sooo...

"7" on the stock guage is 13.5 pounds (.93 bar)

so 10 psi should see it at ~75% of the scale

Thanx guys,that cleared my mind i thought there was a problem with my guage,another quick 1 hehe :rolleyes:.the boost controler is set to 10 psi,wen i put the foot down the boost guage needle hits 10,but as the car reaches 6500-7000,the needle drops back to around 7 psi.is that normal?

guys could you help me out with this issue.does it normaly happen?

Could be a boost cut feature? What sort of modifications do you have? Electronic boost controller or manual?

Mine does the opposite...full throttle on cold night, she overboosts past the normal...

Got a manual boost,standards mods for now i.e FMIC, POD,TURBO BACK EXAUST,HI FLOW CAT

sorry in my old msg i mentioned the RPM wrong.as i hit the throtle it hits 10 and when i reach 5700-6500

it falls back but.but the power doesnt feel like its cutting back or something its just the guage starts falling back

to 8-7 psi.and yeh in he morning when i take it out it misfires for sometimes around 5 minutes then all good

(i do warm my car for at least 10 minutes)

no need to warm the car, just drive it quietly for a while.

usually boost will spike up and drop back a bit, i figure because the waste-gate finally opens, releasing pressure.

happens exactly the same on my friends type x (180sx).

however, misfiring isn't normal. check your spark plugs, coil packs ect.

Recently changed spark plugs.got the coil packs checked a couple of months back,they were fine then,but wil check em again.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
