ok so to tell the story ill start from the begining.

I bought my 98 40th aniverseary r33 gts-t about 10 months after my stock 96 r33 was a write off after the big perth hail storm.:(

I got it with about 70 000 on the clock and it just seamed to have much more power. So not being the bees knees on cars and all and just getting to learning about everything you can do with mods i just left it as being a better car. Anyway today i read a froum on how to ground the standard solenoid and run at 7-8 psi so thought great sounds easy so went to do it. Well i looked at the soleniod and it had no hoses going into it (wtf) so had a look around. Then i saw that to my supprise i had a blitz sbc dual soleniod cool i thought. Anway traced the cables into the interior and they went all the way to behind the ash tray, so i pulled it out and there was the boost controler there all the time ( felt like bit f a bumb ass) . So now i had to have a bit of a play and got some good boost out of it but as i'm still kinda knew to the whole mod thing can anyone give me any advise on what it should be set at with a stock turbo as don't want to over boost the engine but really stoked with the find.

10psi should be safe, hehe dunno why the previous post didnt load up when I viewed the page before, I wouldnt go more than 12psi though.

in saying that I had an rb20 180 before and ran that around on 1 bar with standard turbo, ca18 side mount (thin as fk) 3" exaust and a walbro pump for a year or so and didnt have an issue, could be that I got lucky though, next guy to own it wrote it off though so I cant say how long it lasted

If it goes better than your old r33, then i would just see what boost it is running before you do anything. At a guessyou will get better gains by having the ecu remapped than than turning the boost up more.

How do you know it only has the standard turbo? Could be a hi-flow. Could have an after market ECU. Does it have a standard exhaust, intercooler etc?

Time to do some poking around in the engine bay perhaps. Might find some more hidden treasure. :(

yeah thought that too. It's got 3 1/2 inch exhaust blitz nur spec, standard intercooler though ( Got to get an after market one next thing i'm doing anyone got ideas on brand? ), jap psr and psr-k stickers when open the fuel flap to fill up (not sure what this means, Bigger pump or bigger injectors) , hks super direct flow pod. Don't know about ecu how can you tell if it has after market one can any one tell me? got a conect cable on the way will that tell me when i plug it into my laptop?

Might just have to go to some where like hypertune and get them to have a look.

oh yeah the boost controller plugs into a little box called greedy turbo data link not sure what is but think it for my boost gauge. Any ideas would be awesome!

i havnt read the whole thread, but personaly i would run 8-10 psi, because if you have the standard ecu, it will be to R&R with anymore psi, and it will feel like shit and not smooth

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
