As the topic states,

Last night I went down to have a little run down at the drags and noticed that the boost would consistantly drop.

Boost was set at 1.3 bar and once running any more than say 6000rpm the boost would drop back down to 1 bar....

Turbos are Group A N1's so are these running out of puff or could it be the wastegates?

I have no idea....

I tried screwing up the "gain" on my profec to try and get to hold a little longer. Didn't do shit.

Cheers,

Dan

Your dead right in regards to having it occur once a certain pressure is reached. It will hold 1.1 bar nicely, but anything over that and it would just taper off.

Second to third gear change it would hit 1.3bar nicely for about 1 second, and then taper back to 1bar.

I managed 3 runs of 12.0 @ 119mph last night, very consistant. Trying so hard to get that 11 but it wasn't going to happen :)

Yeah I thought it might be a leak somewhere, will have to have a look later on tonight.

How do you diagnose a leaky BOV? Could it be that?

P.S I might need your help soon with that thermo fan mod! I'll pay ya with beer :)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
