Bleed valve on a 33GTR

[MidnightGTR]

My car currently had just a catback exhaust and pods, with the boost restrictor removed.

I just had hks 2540's and dump pipes fitted, and ive got a pfc ready to be tuned but waiting on some cam gears to arrive first.

the car used to make 1bar with the factory turbos, now it only makes about .7/.8bar and takes a real long time to make boost (I know the 2540's are laggy but I think this is taking longer then it should)

I went down and bought a simple bleed valve hoping to get a harder boost curve (least come on boost quicker) and maybe raise it back to 1bar, is this a good idea?

Is there any chance of maxing out the injectors or running too rich at this stage at 1 bar with these turbos?

Anyway how do you install the bleed valve into these engines, my mechanic said it wouldnt work plumbing it into the hose that had the restrictor and talked about pluming it into a thin metal pipe on the turbo side as he said that would control both turbos

Is he right or is he making it seem harder then it really is to install this thing

Thanks in advance :headspin:

Why are you putting such a simple device on a GTR. Aren't you better off using an EBC or even get the Power FC Boost Solenoid to match up with your ECU???

The factory hoses are very hard to get access to.

The easiest way to do it is to block all of the old hoses and run new hoses from the intake manifold through the bleed valve, to a tee junction and then to each wastegate actuator. This keeps the hoses nice and short too.

The bleed valve is temporary, an EBC will be later when I need it moreso.

Just wanted to get the bleeder to raise the boost back to 1 bar and hopefully get some smoother boost response from the turbos

You'd be suprised how well a good combination ball and spring/blled valve works

Im not a mechanic dood.

I wouldn't suggest a cheap bleed valve is the solution. If you can't afford an EBC, save your money up until you can

Yeah just get a crappy bleed valve for now, shit i cant even afford a boost controller yet and im running 1.2Bars on the GTS-T also with a GT-2540. Dont know what you mean by laggy, the mechanic when i had it on the dyno said it kiked in very early.
