hey people,

as a few people know i recently purchased a blue R33 SII and im loving everything about it, however after purchasing a FMIC and full 3" turbo back exhaust off W1ngnut i wanted to increase my boost from stock to about 12 PSI. there lies my problem... ive searched the forum, google, mates just about exhaust everything i can think of but it all ends up in the same result. i cant boost over 6 PSI before 4500 RPM then it hits about 8 PSI there after, ive installed and turbosmart boost tee wound in up to where i think 12 PSI would be but no change, if i wind its almost all the way out i hit maybe 11 but that cant be right as with the previous cars ive owned i have never had to wind out a boost tee that far. so i figured it must be the tee so i swapped with a mate that i know is working on his 32... same thing. i read on the forum that i should use and EBC so after bargaining with a mate i acquired a gizzmo iBC... same problem :blink: ive taken the standard solenoid off and tried combos of it in/off but nothing seems to make my boost increase. im at my wits end trying to figure out what is wrong so i turn to the forum before i go insane for help.

anything you guy can help/ point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated

Cheers Jason

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.

      You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap

      Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy

      Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.

      Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
