Installed the new engine into the car on saturday and it runs fine. Cars driving and seems to be working good, except.......

When you put your foot down the car boosts way to high, it hit 1.8bar when I put my foot down so have only done it once way to much boost......it drives fine if you dont put your foot down hard and its still got the boost restricter in it so it should only be hitting 0.7.......Any idea what would cause this?

Fane suggestes one of the actuators on the turbos?

Make sure the boost controller is connected..  could be a simple thing like that..

I dont have a boost controller it just runs stock boost through ecu atm. Pretty sure its actuator, am going to work on it this weekend, out come turbs and pipeing again.......

Pretty sure you can see if the actuators are working on the turbs without taking them apart.. you sure the stock boost controller is hooked up properly, I only suggest it as having no solonoid working will cause stupidly high boost pressures.. if not my bad and good luck pulling it apart again.. :cheers:

Cheers

cant believe you got all the way to 1.8

on a new engine?

How about backing off when it passes 1 bar next time, or even better when it just gets over stock boost

This doesnt help me solve my problem......

We didnt know it was broken, just put the foot down, doesnt take much time to hit that kinda boost, i watched it climb to rnd 0.5 bar i wasnt driving dad put his foot down then I told him to stop.

If you must know we didnt know what to expect or to do to fix it really which is why i've posted here. Now we know what to look for wont happen again.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now

      So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
