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

dont say that! :(

sorry, to jump in VB-, but shouldn't you source from the turbo outlet so you don't run to much boost? if you take is from the intake side it would be a different psi from the turbo? if that makes sense?

R33 manual actuator is 5psi as well thought isnt it? otherwise how would it do 5psi low - 7psi high above 4500rpm?

If you want I have a turbosmart dual stage boost controller, you can hook it up to stock wiring to run low then high after 4500 like standard or just run a single boost

mythbusters ahoy!

Use the air gun to blow compressed air approx A ~ B kgcm2 into the hose and make sure the swing valve controller rod operates.

where

HR32 - A = 0.8 and B = 0.9 kgcm2 which is 0.85kgcm2 (average) which is 12.08 psi

BNR32 A = 0.7 and B = 0.8kgmc2 which is 0.75kgcm2 (average) which is 10.66 psi

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

BCNR33 A = 0.79kgcm2 and B = 0.85kgc2m which is 0.82kgcm2 (average) which is 11.6 psi

be sure to note, that ECR33 has dual stage boost, that is the std solenoid will bleed an additional 2psi above 4500rpm

so if the std actuator according to the nissan spec manual is 5psi for AUTO R33 GTST, then at 4500rpm+ to redline, you get 7psi minimum boost

so if the std actuator according to the nissan spec manual is 5psi for MANUAL R33 GTST, then at 4500rpm+ to redline, you get 9psi minimum boost

if someone can find ER34/BNR34 please let

is the ecr33 there s1 or s2? s2 r33 and r34 have the same turbo afterall

my guage goes off the plenum, should i tee it into just after the turbo?

ok, the big question, if my spring really is 5psi, will a controller be able to change it to 7psi constant? or does the 5psi spring limit it to 5psi?

no, the service manual does not differentiate between year build / series

it simply says

ECR33 auto blah blah, ECR33 manual blah blah

The R34 service manual does the same, doesn't differentiate between year / build / series and simply says ER34 blah blah (it doesnt mention difference for auto / manual in ER34)

no, the actuator spring level is the minimum boost you can run

ie you cant run 3psi because the wastegate doesnt open until it has 5psi at it's vac line

you use a bleed valve or boost controller to fake the pressure signal to the actuator, so that instead of the actuator seeing 5psi and opening, it let's say will see 2psi as your boost contrller "hides" the real pressure value. it swithces on/off quickly (duty cycle) and that let's it bleed a bit of pressure. this is how you run more boost. by giving the actuator a fake signal

5psi to 7psi is easy. install the factory solenoid, but give it constant 12v power and it will be a basic bleed value

net result is instead of 5psi then 4500rpm then 7psi you should get 7psi all the time

So Paul is saying that R33 manual have a 7psi actuator? ... That sounds different to everything else I've read.

Anyway - R34 is the same as what you're saying R33 auto is (and everything I've read about R33 manual) - 5psi below 4500, 7psi above (because of 2psi bled by solenoid). Of course, as soon as you add an aftermarket exhaust back into the mix - all bets are off what boost the car will run.

awell ive ordered a turbotech boost tap so ill just use that instead me thinks!

also, i noticed some boost creep today, at around 4500 ish it started to creep up, and its hosed direct to the actuator, would this indicate a leak in my system somewhere? or a wastegate flap problem? (i have a 3inch bellmouth dump system)

ta

i have sort of an update

after it starts creeping past 5psi, it starts going really rich, it feels like it hits a flat spot and starts going slower, even though it creeps past 5psi, and it also pops in the exhaust when you take your foot off, which im almost sertain indicates lots of fuel aka really rich.

does this shed any light on anything?

Me too.

BUT it does make alot of sence, as even running stock actuator and solenoid, most R33's seem to make around 9-11psi with full exhaust etc.

I only changed to an R32 Actuator because i got one cheap. And i wanted the 10psi immediately :P

it doesnt make any sense

why would it go R&R after 5psi ? i think something is seriously wrong or you are testing it wrong or guessing

how are you picking up that it's going rich ?

i think its rich after 5 psi because you can feel the throttle change and turn flatter and slower, and then when u back off it pops, as if to burn the excess fuel that came out.

    • Put a camera facing your dashboard so you can film the gauges. Head out to a straight but of road, and filming it as you go from a stand still at wide open throttle to as fast as you can/feel comfortable doing. Then film the dash board as you for example accelerate like normal onto a freeway. This will give us an indicator from Speedo of your expectation of slow, and will give us the rpm reading too to see if it's shifting. (Auto still has tacho from memory)
    • Buy yourself the cooling system pressure tester. Being able to pump it up, and have a gauge on it, AND have a cold engine makes it much easier / practical to diagnose. Additionally as the engine isn't running, you can listen for pin hole leaks as well as watching if pressure drops away. In addition, you can pressurise and while doing so, watch all the little rubber hoses. Some fail very brittle, and will just leak, while others can end up very soft and bulge. While a bulging hose isn't necessarily leaking, one of those small ones starting to stretch / expand in a bad way is an indicator that you'll be looking to replace that one soon   Depending on if this is a project car, or you'll be dailying it in the summer months would alter how I'd be most comfortable with driving the car and how I'd replace. If you're planning to use it as a daily, with no backup, I'd pull the engine, and replace all the external oil/water lines in one big swoop. At the same time do the timing belt, water pump, tensioners etc. Do not open the engine at all. We just want to replace all the things that are inexpensive as a single item, but a PITA when they go. By doing the above, you've made the car from a bunch of age related issues more reliable. If it's a project, and you like swearing while trying to reach into dirty hard to reach places to replace a single hose that may or may not be the leaky one. Just replace the leaking/bad ones as they need it. If it's a project and you'd rather swear at the car once and enjoy it as much as possible, then refer to the process I mentioned in how I'd want to do it if it were a daily. However, the approaches above do come down to how much spare pocket change you have. Pulling the engine and dropping over a thousand dollars on parts, may not be practical for you. Oh, if engine outing, I'd replace as many silicon/rubber inlet joiners as possible too.
    • Yeah, they're pretty dumb though...ie; they'll throw a solenoid error if the solenoid is dead, shorted, wiring is open circuit, or even if the driver transistor has failed (they can't self-diagnose much, they can only test inputs/outputs)... but if you wanted to try, I believe it's this protocol....(uses a long pulse indicator with short pulse counter)...    
    • Yeah I'll do what I can without taking off any major parts for now. If it becomes clear I won't get far with the engine in the car I'll have to think about the next steps. I am not too stuck on keeping everything 100% OEM, if there is better solutions, like converting most lines to braided with AN adapters, I'd rather do that than buy overpriced new "shit" parts.
