Car: Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T s2 , RB25DET

Hey guys I was driving my Skyline r33 gts-t tonight and I noticed that I wasn't really getting the amount of boost I think I should be. From a standstill when I give it some rev's and then launch it gives me the correct amount of boost but when driving I found from 3 to 4th and to 5th the boost was less than usual.

so I changed the boost up two notches on my turbo smart boost controller an noticed minimal difference, although I'm not sure what the notch to psi ratio is.

Then I was finding that in 3rd gear I would accelerate and the turbo would start fluttering and the boost needle would be knock around like crazy then I could ease off and go and it would be fine. The thing is though that this only happens some of the time. I'm still learning so not really up to par with all the lingo. If anyone could help me out it would be nice.

Thanks!

when you say the bost needle knocks around like crazy does your boost increase or nothing happens? from what your saying my assumption is your hitting a boost spike... and if there is no boost throughout 3rd- 5th i would throw out there you have a boost leak somewhere or your turbo is giving up or has given up on you

so ur hearing flutter and ur boost gauge needle is all over the show under acceleration?

that sounds weird. btw flutter is the noise of the air running back through the turbo when u close the throttle it shouldn't be doing it under acceleration

a boost gauge needle bouncing up and down and turbo flutter on acceleration sounds just like surging to me, caused by restriction on the compressors inlet. causes of the restriction could be the stock rubber inlet pipe sucking closed if you still have it (its a common problem), or something simple like a dirty air filter. i think you'll find the is more engine load in 3rd than in 1st and 2nd, hence why you only start seeing the problem in 3rd.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
