Hi guys, need some advice, i just recently got my skyline through a good friend of mine. Problem i am running into is bad boost creep as the revs go up. I put a manual boost controller on to see if it would help to maintain it but no luck, and it plays around with the ecu as it try to adjust so it getting slow spots through the rev range. If i put the standard solenoid back on, will it sturdy the boost as it was designed to do, or is there another issue, i have checked for boost leaks and replaces lines, but still the same. The line running the wastegate is one that the charcoal canister usually runs too. any help would be great on the topic

Thanks

Josh

Get a decent boost source.

teeing a line from the evap canister is not a good way to control boost, and is most likely the source of your problem.

Use the nipple off the compressor housing or get a hose barb welded into your intercooler piping.

I didnt realise the stock turbos had a nipple?

What kind of dump pipe do you have?

If its a splt dump, it could be the issue. I had alot of problems with boost creep on my R33 with the split design. Even after having it ground down and fixed with the old wategate flapper issue. I put the stock one back on and it went away immediately.

Ended up having a custom bellmouth style made up instead and its still fine.

Do you lose much power by putting the stock one back on, and what's the bellmouth one, how is it different. Still new to turbo car. This is the setup that came on the car. I'm not bothered about running standard boost, I would put standard solenoid on if I new it would work, or ebc.

check out just jap here, youll be better off getting a 3" bellmouth then going back to the standard item. also a good ebc helps aswell, i am a big fan of the jaycar item its cheap and has some great reviews.

    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
    • Which I agree with. I don't want or need a high hp straight line car, I want it to be fun on the road and nothing more. Hence why I said my max power goal will be around 500 crank. The few times I drove the car last year I didn't even use high boost and it was already quick enough for me, should have been around 380-400 crank I think (2860-5s at 1-1.1bar).
