LOL dodgy gauge, idiot.......

They run 7-8psi stock. Add free flowing intake and exhaust, hey presto you got 2 more psi...... :(

My car's got an upgraded free flowing intake and exhaust and it only runs 7-8 psi on stock boost.

I have a R33 gtst serie 2 I changed my pistons and bored the block to 2.7 and now my car is running 10 psi standard and i think its fuel cutting cause when it hits the 10psi its losing power and it fuel cuts i think. What could be the problem?

g'day fellas, i tried the high boost mod yesterday,. I don't know if its a placebo effect but it seams a little better. The only thing is that the stock & blitz boost gauges still only say around 5 psi. I'm sure i hooked it up properly. :D (Its a bit rough, but am i on the right track?) Thanks for any suggestions.

As soon as i installed my dump/front pipe base boost went from 7psi to 8.6psi.

yeah my s2 after putting on cooler, 3" turbo back and filter, spiked to 9psi on the dyno.

hey guys, ma R33 runs 5 psi at all times even over 4500 or 5000 rpm still runs 5 psi and sometimes when u put ur foot hard on the pedal and take the rev to 4500 or 5000 it runs 5 psi and starts cutting. anyone can help me with taht any ideas???

.5 bar is only like 7 psi!

yea mate im sure im running 5 psi only the gauge has 5 psi 10 20 25 30 psi. i trired my mate's aftermarket boost controller and turned the boost up to 10 psi, when i took it for a drive on high rev it and its ruuning 10 psi and then it starts cutting and goes bak to 5 psi

why after we dyno'd and proved that this mod does nothing at all, do people still flood the thread and keep modding their cars to do it? maybe i missed something, has anyone else done a before and after dyno of this? or am i the only one who bothered to actually see if there were real results

so are you saying more boost doesn't make more power, or just that the peak power was no higher with this mod?

mid range power clearly increases when you increase the boost from 4psi to 7psi, it is enough to actually be noticeable when driving. Of course peak power does not change because even from the factory it gives 7psi boost at high revs.

do you have 2 full dyno graphs before and after including midrange?

should do, my understanding may be wrong, but if you did two dyno runs and the only adjustment was the switch and they are 99.5% the same that means there is no difference right?

ill look for the link of the graphs, may be on SDU

my dyno post

i suppose when you look at that you will get 1-2kw in mid range, but seriously for $80 a wind up boost tee will make a hell of a lot more difference

this was done on back to back runs at the sau dyno day last year. dead stock car. only mods were apexi panel in stock box and this mod. i certainly feel the difference when i drive.

red line - normal (two stage boost)

green line - switch on (high boost)

I believe this whole add an exhaust and intake and magic extra 2psi is bull.
As soon as i installed my dump/front pipe base boost went from 7psi to 8.6psi.

I serviced my side mount intercooler with carby cleaner- extra 2psi

I serviced my throttle body with carby cleaner- extra 1 psi

Had to turn DOWN the boost controller.

So exhaust/intake mods will DEFINITELY produce more boost because the turbo can flow more air and do it faster.

I just did this mod yesterday, i'm loving it, although it does drink the gas a bit.. but who cares!

I used a lug, and just bolted it onto the bracket for the solenoid, and cut the black wire, and crimped in a earth to the lug.

Going to install a switch w/ led, once I get around to getting a boost gauge, and i'm going to mount it in the glovebox, I don't really want to rip apart my interior, wanna keep it sleeper as possible ;)

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
