Having boosting problems with my r33 gtst. on occasion when i step on full-throttle the car may jerk around and the boost will play up. when it does this power goes dead and the boost is low then all the sudden it may jump forward for a sec then go dead again. i am thinking it is my boost controller and maybe it is not wired up correctly??? attached is a photo of how it is set up. anyone have any ideas, what should with my standard boost solenoid after fitting a bleed valve?

Dude - the hoses on the bleed vavle are way too long, this will cause boost spikes, and going by the length of the hoses there's gunna be BIG spikes !!

That's probably going to be your problem - boost spikes. :P

Make the hose length as short as possible, like only a few inches.

Cool,

Yeah, with the stock boost solenoid just unplug the electrical connector, and make sure you block the return hose so it doesn't leak.

What boost levels are you running BTW ? I wouldn't go over 12psi on a series 1 and about 10psi on a series 2.

Cheers

just fixed up the hoses, they are reasonably short now. still a problem tho. if i boot it in a gear the boost goes to 8psi (thats all i set it at, standard as i have a full exhaust), then when i change to the next gear it only boosts around 1-2 psi and the car barely moves, dont even chirp the wheels... all gear the boost will be real low trying to rise but to no avail? anyone??? if anyone can post pics of their bleed valve set-ups it would be much appreciated... Thanks for your help Jay.

Ahh, OK. So the surging and spiking has been fixed, but now there's another problem..

To me, the new problem sounds like your wastegate is getting stuck open, so it's not letting the turbo generate boost :(

Does it have this (new) problem when you run the factory soleniod with no bleed valve installed??

Try running a hose from the cross over pipe to the wastegate actuator with no bleed valve and no factory soleniod and see what it does. If everything is OK it should hold about 5-6psi in most gears.

Yeh jay just blew my computer last night so it cost me a whole day today to buy a new one. It is running 10 psi now, there is a little missfire around 4500 on occasions, but apart from that its pretty sweet. Thanks heaps for your help just had no idea what to do with the standard boost thingy, but its all fixed now...

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
