    Boost Controller Is On

    in Classics (1953-1988)

    Posted · Edited by slide247

    These are probably a stupid questions but...

    Can anyone give a straight answer about getting your engine re-tuned once a boost controller is fitted..?

    If you don't does this lead to detonation, or leaning out?.. or anything else that may be detrimental?

    Also what is a safe boost increase for a stock FJ with 2.5 exhaust and no cooler?... around 8 pound?

    Cheers.

    :D

    Don't know about you guys but my mates DR has a 2.5 exhaust with a single cheap cannon muffler and it sounds VERY much like a truck,

    Espicially with the lack of bov, can hear it spooling every gear....

    This is outside by the way

    DR30 engine relocation???

    putting a 3L engine in opens a whole new can of worms, any reason you want to move the engine back??

    I was just joking with the rb conversion.. just stirring s*#t..... FJ's are better though :)

    The car is headed for drift and I've been l led to believe that weight distribution/ balance is very important.... I.e SR20's into laurels and cefiro's

    But what's been mentioned on this thread it possibly makes more sense to work around the problem than just creating more for minamal (if any) gain.

    my friend just bought hks d1 s15.  

    car is next to impossible to drift. lag lag lag boost peak. thing either spins or drives straight into a wall. spins wheels in 4th gear etc.

    any one know how to get it right?

    Same thing happened to me at the start....Bought the BLITz and HKS D1 cars and couldn't drift them at all!

    First thing to do obviously is turn all the driving aids off...

    Then change the tyres to either normal "ecomomy" or normal "comfort"depending on what power the car is making ... Doing this really helps alot making sliding more predictable and easier, though you may have to change ur style a bit.

    Also playing with the suspension can help if you get it right..... Try starting with upping the stabilizers to 5 each, camber at least 2.5 and 1.5 front/rear respectively, then work on the spring rates from there.

    Yeah,as Boof said,remote booster/master cyl and most likely clutch master as well. You'll also have to make decent crossmember mods to sit the FJ further back,and also gearbox x-member too.Ask me how I know :cheers:

    Hey OHR-30t, I've been through ur whole website... How long until the beast is on the road?

    Before I start to get to serious (havent got the FJ yet wich will probably help)

    do you have any idea how much this is going too cost?... Incl. modified sump, engine mounts and tailshaft and the other things you've mentioned.

    I'm also contemplating doing a r31/bluebird front end conversion wich I've seen has been discussed in fair amount of detail in this forum....

    I have'nt got too much mechanical expertise so I will probably be paying a workshop to do moat of the work..... Has anyone got Idea's on price$$ to get both these conversions done?

    Hi.

    Just bought a dr30 project car minus motor/gearbox

    When I eventually buy a fj20 and box, I'm throwing up the Idea of moving the motor back closer to the firewall... Problem is When nissan first designed the r30 I don't think they were thinking of installing an fj20, because the brake master cylinder and design of the inlet monifold prevents the engine from being mounted any closer than about 20c.m away from the firewall.

    It would be possible to get a cutom intake made up but that costs$$$ and the design of the standard FJ inlet is meant to be fairly power productive with some light

    touch ups.

    The only other option I can think of is relocating and/or modyfying the cylinder and pedal box....

    Any info or idea's greatly appreciated.

    Cheers
