Hi guys I'm a new member here, I recently got an 200sx standard ca18det the guy I bought it from dropped the boost to 0.2 I want to get the boost back up, this is my firts turbo car don't know them yet, can I adjust the boost myself or must a take it to a dyno shop to get it done thanx
boost to low
you can adjust it yourself buy adjusting the wast gate on the turbo. how sure are you that the guy adjusted the boost or he could be making an excuse for a leaky exhaust manifold
Welcome, wheres some pics and a intro lol? Where you from, maybe someone can come and help you out...
Previous guy dropped the boost ?? Mmmmm..... Does it still smoke at 0.2 bar ?? 😉 😉
Only smokes a little when I start it in the morning,,,,
You guys think there's something wrong with it?

lol, i agree with bigkriss it sounds quite odd 😕 i cant think of any reason why someone would drop the boost below the stock level on a stock standard ca18det, im afraid theres most probably something wrong there, turbo shot, leaky manifold, leaky boost pipes or intercooler....... could be a few things, plus i havent seen any adjustments for boost on the stock T25 turbo, you can connect the vacuum line from the waste gate actuator directly onto the vacuum nipple on the turbo, perhaps the boost cut solenoid is faulty or something, but if its smoking then you gonna have to get turbo checked
There is no adjustments on a stock setup. Stock boost 0.6
this is very interesting to know actually...
We should compile a buyer how to post!
cos i still have loads of questions
Thanx for the help guys, got my boost right car is now leke
What did you do to get it right?
There was an screw tipe thing on the waist gate I just turned it a little

Good to hear there's no other complications.

And its not the stock t25 its the t28 from the sr20 motor
