hi guys, first things first, i have a psi guage, actualy in psi, and its the second one ive tried, and they both say psi.

now

my solonoid is out of the question, nothing runs to it at all nor is it plugged in, and i have the hose running straight to the actuator, im only getting 5 psi, i thought it might have been a leak in the system, but its a solid 5psi and dosent budge up or down when full throttling, if there was a leak the boost would drop slowly? or something

anyway, any ideas?

cheers

Standard turbo?

If so then yes, about 5psi is all you will get running straight off the actuator.

yea standard, i thought the actuator is 10 psi?

do i have to hook the solonoid back up to get 7-8psi?

alright so im gonna have to hook it back up and then, do the DIY for high boost all the time correct?

Could just buy an rb20 r32 actuator?

getting a little hard to find these days, I Think I have one in storage lol

i dont really want to run 10psi, im not into the whole "must go faster" thing anymore, just would like the standard boost! 10psi = screwy mixtures etc since i just have the standard ecu

No you just have to reconnect the bleed line to the bov return pipe and play with the diameter of the restrictor until you get the desired boost - bigger diameter = more boost. If you have lost the restrictor you can just solder up that branch of the T and drill the hole progressively bigger till you get the desired result.

Get a $30 tap and set it to 0.7 bar (8psi) yourself like I did. Better than stock IMO, more torque down low (obviously) and spools a little sooner.

The turbotech one on ebay is the one I have, well documented on this forum as to how good they are.

if im not mistaken, the taps are quite unreliable, ive used them in the past and they cause boost creep issues...

to be clear

standard R33 GTST auto is 5psi

standard R33 GTST manual is 7psi

both have a boost scramble or "boost hi mode" which bleeds in another 2psi around 4500rpm from the standard solenoid

if you bypass the standard solenoid and do nothing else minimum boost for auto is 5psi and manual is 7psi

my car is manual and its 5psi, hosed to the actuator

maybe your turbocharger failed and yours has been replaced with an auto turbocharger?

maybe your actuator has failed and your actuator has been replaced with an auto actuator?

maybe your car was auto and converted to manual?

unlikely but possible

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
