So I have an RB25DET series I swap in my S14

Everything was working fine until I did my turbo swap.

I did new intercooler pipes, Blow thru Maf setup, 6boost twin scroll manifold with twin wastegates and Bullseye S362 .91 Twin Scroll Turbo.

I ordered two tial wastegates and they are installed as well.

Car runs fine, just I get absolutely no boost. I can hear the turbo spooling around 2800-3000rpms and at WOT the boost gauge goes to 0 but never anything higher then that.

I know I have a leak at the downpipe after the turbo because the V-Band clamp that was provided does not seal properly. But, this should not be causing me to not boost.

I can feel some air coming out of the BOV when I give her some throttle...that is all.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

I'm going to run a boost leak test, but, I highly doubt to find anything significant since I redid all my piping there are only a few silicone couplers on my setup and they are virginally tight.

This is something I'd like to see a few pictures of, just to show what can be done. I do like your thinking, and for the $$ spent it should be a great setup.

Question - when you say car runs fine, do you mean it idles fine, or it runs through the rpm range fine? If it's not boosting it should be as flat as a fart as you attempt to rev and/or load it. Does not sound right that it is fine other than no boost.

Have you checked the pipework for any rags inadvertently left behind during final assembly?

I would be checking that the wastegate valves are seating

^+1, but:

If it is not boosting at all, those gates would nearly have to be wide open and basically bypassing all gases. And again, it would be giving lifeless response.

I'd also remove the compressor inlet pipe to check that the compressor can actually spin (I noted that you'd commented about being able to hear it spooling). Make sure there is no assembly error or anything else that has it seized or dragging.

sounds like it could be a gate issue,considering most other variables (new turbo,tight cooler piping connections) seem to be addressed.

There is only a few things it could be..check them off the list one by one.

Search and you shall find.

Found the pics, thought it was a build done in the US. 6boost must be doing a decent export trade too. Pipework looks schmick, but I do wonder if the WG takeoff pipes are at a fairly abrupt angle.

Definitely looks the part, wish I could find the specs from BW on a S362.

S362 by bullseye power.bullseye power.

S362 V-Band Outlet 76.3/67.6 Turbine Wheel 0.91 A/R

Turbocharger Name - S362

Compressor Wheel Inducer - 62mm

Compressor Wheel Exducer - 80.6mm

Compressor Wheel Trim - 54

Turbine Wheel Inducer - 76.3mm

Turbine Wheel Exducer - 67.6mm

Turbine Wheel Trim - 79

Turbine Option - Outlet - V-Band

Turbine Option - Inlet - T4

Turbine Option - A/R - 0.91

Horsepower Rating - 350-680

thats a pretty wide horsepower target....is it right?

Otherwise looks like a good thing, size is right in the ball park.

Turns out one of the intercooler pipes was off, completely off. But being the fact that I just upgraded to a blow through MAF and the pipe popped off BEFORE the MAF, starting/idling/normal driving was not a problem so I thought there couldn't be a boost leak.

I fixed the leak and now I am very very impressed with the setup. I drove her around a bit and at WOT only on 10psi I start spooling approx. ~3200 and full boost by ~3800.

I need a tune and alittle more cleanup so I parked the car for now. Probably going to ditch my Jim Wolf ECU and go Vipec. Have a small video to upload soon and after that will post again with dyno sheets and new ECU.

They are a slightly mutant version Bullseye put together, I have actually been considering going to a genuine Borg Warner S300SX 83/75 for my next setup....

    • @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.
