Hows it goin boys, i got my exhaust fitted yesterday 3inch turbo back, thats the only mod the cars got. When i drive it in the low revs it shows up around 5 or 6 psi then it goes up slowly till arround 7 or 8 then at pretty much exactly 5000rpm it goes straight to 10psi and stays till redline.

What my question is with a bleedvalve will that enable the car to be boost at 10psi right from the begining say 2500 (or whenever boost kicks in on the rb25's)

i just wanna make sure it will b4 i buy one, becoz a mate of mine reckons if its boosting to 10 psi now theres no point? Thanks.

yea your m8s correct.. u'll probably gain a more constant 10psi thru the rev range .. but u could invest ina r32 rb20 turbo actuator instead...... either way its naturally gaining boost as u remove restriction with the exhaust.

leave it for now .. save for a front mount.. then see where your boost sits when u fit that..

reading through my original post i think it may be unclear exactly what im asking, what id like to know if anyone can help me is will a bleed valve set to 10psi mean that the car will go stright to 10 psi as soon as it hits boost, as opposed to what happens now..which is a gradual climb (7psi up until around 5000rpm) to 10 psi high in the rev range? Thanks guys.

there is a thread in here on how to get high boost setting through out the rev rang, pls search

just ground the solenoid so its constantly on. that bypasses the 2 stage boost that the ecu has. dunno if it will burn out the solenoid cause its always on. or you could just purchase one of those nifty mech boost controlers on the forum for $35ish and just set it to 10.

Yea forget the bleed valve and just use the hiogh boost mod with the standard actuator. $2 for the wire,. $3 for the switch. Dash mount and switch it to 10PSI at the flick of the switch.

You said RB25 so I'll assume you have an R33.

Ground the solenoid and you'll get the instant 10psi as mentioned above. Also, when I picked my car up after a ton of work to it they left the bleed valve closed.

What this resulted in was a gradual increase in boost as the revs raised until it stopped at about 14psi. Opening the bleed valve up I was able to attain a much faster boost increase up to 15psi so as far as my personal experience goes, if after the solenoid mod your boost still rises slowly, try a bleed valve. They're cheap as chips anyway and you'll want one eventually.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
