Hi Dave, what you are describing is totally normal, unless I have missed something. At idle the throttle is closed, the engine is running (sucking) so there is vacuum between the inlet valve and the throttle body. If there wasn't vacuum (sucking) then the engine wouldn't get any air in, so it wouldn't run.

Hope that answered your question:cheers:

Aren't they the T28 ? (Same as GTST turbo. . .?) If they are, they're generally good to run 14psi occasionally, but I wouldn't drive my GTSt any higher than .85 bar (roughly 10 - 11psi) constantly.

So when I get the stag (2 weeks) I put my AVCR in her and set setting A to 0.8 bar (normal driving), setting B to 0.9 bar (drag) :rofl:

On thing I noticed on mine when the boost was up to 12psi was that it was damn loud !! I'm still running the stock airbox with a highflow panel filter, oh, and the sound deadening wading in the airbox has been removed too.

But the difference between 5psi (stock) and 12psi is massive... Anyone else notice this ?

I'd rather it not be noisey, it sounds like a pod filter when it comes on boost...

I might let up the boost a little once I have the front mount and dump pipe on the car, that way in my opinion Ill be pushing the turbo just as hard as I am at the moment, with less restrictions such as full exhaust and front mount intercooler (well at least the piping change) you can safely say that running say 11psi as opposed to 7psi or so with standard gear you'll be pushing the turbo just the same..

As for increase in sound, what sound deadening stuff in the airbox are you talking about? Nothing I could see there? Mine isn't insanely loud, defanatly not as loud as a friends r34 with just a pod filter.. Certainly audible but hard to hear with windows up and a little stereo going.. Its not a whining noise is it?

I raised the boost on my r33 to about 10psi, and at the same time removed the sound deadening padding in my air box, and it is LOUD. I remeber going for the first drive and thinking to myself "did i put that panel filter back properly?" :wassup:

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
