Hey guys, i think i have a little problem, i have a rb25det shoveld into a R31, its got a 3inch dump and then to the stock rb30e exhust(around 1inch :lol:, im poor, not zorst yet) I connectd the gauge to the piping that goes to the stock boost relay in a R33, now was i right todo this? :), i know that the ehuast is really killing the power, but should there be anyreason for it not to boost to 7psi. It stays pretty firm on 5psi, and i dont know whats going on.. Any idea guys? Oh and i have the stock side mount cooler..

thanks

Nate

I would say the solonoid is wired incorrectly. (Considering its a conversion)

The stock wastegate pressure on RB25 turbo's is 5 psi.

You only get 7 psi when the solonoid gets power and opens by the ecu at 4500rpm and bleeds off a little air to increase boost.

The ecu provides earth to the solonoid, so the other side should be +12V anytime the ignition is on. (This is the part that won't be wired my guess)

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
