hey guys i just changed the inlet and outlet gaskets on the turbo as it was making no boost when i bought it, and now that the exhaust leak is gone it sounds normal and makes boost, but cuts out when it hits around 12-14psi. the car is completely stock, and i mean literally completely stock. first off, how come it makes 14psi. And secondly, is there a built in fuel cut etc that kicks in around 1bar? need to get it on the road asap as my other cars have a few issues lol. thanks in advance guys.

yes there is a built in cut in the ecu.

as for the pressure it is running, check to make sure there is no boost controller in the hose from the intercooler piping to the wastegate actuator. if there isn't then when you replaced the gaskets you may have reinstalled things so that the wastegate flap is fouling on something and not working properly.

Pretty certain RB20DET doesn't have a fuel cut. Only limiters built into the R32 GTSt is a rev limiter (around 7500), and a speed limiter (180kph).

So, how many revs are you pulling when you have 12psi and the "limiter" cuts in?

It could be running high boost for a number of reasons, like a leak in the wastegate actuator hose, or the wastegate isn't opening correctly.

the wastegate vacuum hose has a manual valve t'd into it, so i removed it today and it now hits around 12psi again but the engine doesn't cut out. it still acts a little strange sometimes when its on 12psi i.e hesitation etc. but overall seems to be running better. and no fun police now lol. looks like its making 12psi at around 3000-3500. couldn't really watch but it build really quickly.

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      Of course it would be - But you shouldn't be here.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.

      Does the r33 have a cabin filter?

      None on 33s.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
