hey i was talking to this guy and he was positive that his car was running 10 psi. now his car is completely stock, i mean he has an aftermarket muffler and a boost gauge. his gauge reads 10 but i cant see that it has been boosted by any method and it sure doesnt drive like it run 10psi.

anyway i said that stock boost is 7 to 8 psi depending. this is right yeah?

  • 4 weeks later...
he got bleed valve or seomething?

one of those turbo smart ones

You can get extra boost by doing as I've done.

...and yes......7-8 psi is about standard on a R33 GTST (RB25DET).

Small hole drilled into the wastegate rubber hose. (directly before WG).

Innitially, it's hit and miss.

I made up 5 small lenghts of pipe with holes of various sizes. (.5 to 1.5mm), till I found the right one, (i carried them in the glovebox for easy change over).

Making constant 12-13psi (measured) for the past year now.

I had the GFB bleeder valve, ....cops pulled it out for me.

The hole in the W/G pipe is undectable!! (and also has the same effect as the $80 GFB!!!)

I re-gapped the plugs to .8mm at the same time.....could never bo back to std boost now!!

Also have been running the 'black wire' mod too, on the solenoid (also undectable), so boost cuts in earlier. Works great, that mod!! (search the forumn, but make sure you earth the right wire!!!).

All this works for me, and the car makes a conservative and safe no- bullshit 174RWkw....not bad for standard...thanx to these forumns!!!!

Mark.

Hey mark.. when you say standard, how standard??

cause i have read that R33's run about 140rwkw stock (7psi).. im just curious (QRI05E) if ONLY 5 psi of extra boost have given you 35rwkw?? or you have a 3" exhaust and pod aswell???

Oh yes, and to help answer the topic question... i have seen R33 GTSt's fitted with an R32 GTSt WG acutator which are set to 10psi from factory therefore no bleed valve required!!! maybe your friends R33 has one fitted??

Well there is such a thing called Boost creep, From Small mods like Exhaust and pods, When I got my car in with exhaust and pod the boost gauge was running around 12psi, I got told from a good source that mild mods that you would norm wouldnt think anything about can cause boost creep. So that could also explain about your friends R33

Hi QR,

I don't know the standard specific power output at wheels of 33GTST, your numbers seems ok. By standard all I mean is there are no internal/turbo/ECU changes to my car.

3 inch zorst and old foam Airinx pod (as per my Avitar description) is what I've got. So I guess that 'in-combination' with these 'shallow' and basic mods, I would be making the extra Rkw.

By the way QR, I can actually put my car back to 'stock' within a couple of hours and feel a dramatic difference. (much slower on take off, which is all I'm interested in by the way!!!)

Picture is of my 'bleeder valve' prior to Police kindly removing it for me!!

Hole in the WG pipe works just the same, (says a lot for these devices!!$$$$$)

ps .I don't think the R32 actuator you mention relates to me??

Thanx mate!!

Mark.

12psi on a 33-t with nothing more than an exhaust and a pod?

:D:D

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
