So first off I want to say hello again, as I am new to this forum. I own a 1992 Skyline GT-R, which I bought without any modifications to the engine. This car is also my first twin turbo car ever owned.

Here are the issues I'm having, basically one day I got bored and wanted more power. I cut the boost restrictor out and the car went from 0.7 bar to 1.0 bar, which is fine, but some days when its cold out the car would boost up to 1.1 bar consistenly and it was stable for the most part, of course the was the boost leveling in higher RPM, which is also okay. I figured the wastegate springs got a bit weak over the years as the cause of the slight "boost spike".

I decided to buy an electronic boost controller (Greddy Profec) to have a more consistent boost level and regulate the leveling. I used the factory lines for my boost source to the plenum and ran new lines to the wastegates. I blocked off the lines not used as well. The EBC works great and performs as it should.

I have my low boost set at 0.7 bar and high boost at 1.0 bar. I ran into my first problem with the high boost setting, no matter what i do, the car hesistates/sputters between 5000-5400 RPM and 6000-6300 RPM, only at high boost.

I just finished the turbo upgrade yesterday, I went with some HKS GT-SS and Tomei Dumps/Outlets. While I was pulling the front/down pipe off, I saw that some previous owner stacked about 8 gaskets between one turbo dump/outlet and the front pipe. When I was putting it back together I decided to just use one gasket on each outlet.

Of course I had a nasty exhaust leak, but now thats where my second problem showed up. When I'm driving, the car runs fine but when I roll/ coast up to a stop and disengage the clutch, the cars RPMs drop past the idle to about 300 RPM to near stall. I fugured maybe its just due to that nasty exhaust leak, so I just parked it.

Today I bought a new front pipe and fitted it to the car, well the problem is still there, so I need help on these issues, and yes the boost problem is still there, basically at 1.0 bar and above, and now the boost controller is useless right now, because the wastegates are set to 1.15 bar. If someone has info on how to go about adjusting the wastegates (since its twin turbo) that be awesome.

Any good help would greatly be appreciated.

If you upgraded the turbos to make more power then you will need to retune the engine which will only be possible if you have an upgraded ecu (with Nistune chip, PFC, Link, etc).

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
