seems to me the ebc isnt doing its job properly, I experinced a similar probelm with my blitz EBC and probelm was the hoses running to the solonoid where to long so now i have ones that are about 15 to 20 cm and its fine, somewhere in the manual it says about making sure the hoses arent to long

Dont you mean too low?

Gain usually aims to ramp boost on harder the higher the setting.

Do you have a printout? Ideally the boost curve should ramp up to 1.1 (if thats your desired level) and flat line across the graph.

If its not close to that the ebc hasnt been set up properly.

Would the EBC still do its job if there isn't enough preload on the wastegate actuator? As not all EBCs are at 0% duty cycle until close to full boost are they? They are ~10% for the ones I Googled, which would suggest this would not cover up for a wastegate with not enough preload. It is possible to bridge the hoses that go to the EBC to rule out the EBC and check the wastegate is it not?

Happy for someone with more experience to correct me.

to check the gate, take the vac line off the actuator and block it up, see when you reach your target boost, but make sure you back off when you do as it'll freeboost

if it comes on earlier than your ebc needs to be set up better. if not then try more preload if you can

Its not normal. Remove actuator and check the load on it. It needs to be pre-loaded 3mms above the wastegate arm. Once done it should be back to normal.

Also check air leaks and etc which also affects the turbo's responds.

The truth is that the EBC hoses are like 50cm for sure.. but is that the reason? I will try to rule that out.

Isnt there a Gain setting which opens the wastegate progressively early ? Sure that isnt set too high ?

It seems that the HKS EVC 5 does not have a gain setting, i've read the manual like 10 times and nothing, only set boost and scramble..

The preload i think it's correct, Stao i didn't touched the actuator, it is like you sended it.

The think is tha eventualy in the end it reaches the target boost(1 bar) but it does that at 6200rpm from what i've seen(i don't have a printout).

If there were any leaks i would have other problems too right? like missfiring or something?

Tomorow i will try to block the actuator and see if i will have 1 bar earlier.

So today i've shortened the length of the EBC hoses and it looks it is a lot better than before! It holds 0.85 in low revs instead of 0.7.

Also i found the MAF cables stripped and they were touching each other, fixed that and it went very lean.. :happy: idle it was like 16.9 AFR's and 12.5 at WOT.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
