I took my turbo smart boost controller out bcoz the police told me to otherwise its a $300 fine.

Just wondering does the boost controller have to be in the engine bay?

Can I install it under the dash somewhere and run the line into the engine bay into the actuator.

Or is the length of the hose critical that is connected to the controller and actuator?

Also my Autometre boost gauge always needs calibration after 3 months or so...which means i have take it out of the dash and pull the dash apart to get in behind it to calibrate it. Any suggestions or similar problems.

I Also need an air box made up to fit around my Blitz pod filter. Any suggestions in Sydney?

lol suprised the boys in blue knew what to look for, havent got one but a few mates run them and havent had any trouble as yet , i thought you could get in car digital ones that you could up and down at a push of a button

in both cases, electronic or gated, you can run a hose into the dash.

a 2m or so added length to the hose wont affect the performance etc..

turbosmart sell a 2 stage in cabin unit, which has vaccum lines from the wastegate to the cabin, then to the manifold. that short of a distance should do nothing

my waste gate has one tube in the middle of it going to the intake manifold but it also has a connection on the back of the wastegate for another tube where would this go to ?

is it an internal or external gate?

ok 4 sum reason i cant upload, so il try n explain it.

the top pipe goes to your solenoid, and the other pipe goes to a "t" peice. this then goes to the other side of the solenoid and to the manifold.

comprende?

yeah i understand ,the top one on this goes to a T which splits it to the boost gauge and to the manifold the one on the rear of the WG doesnt have a pipe going anywhere just the fitting

The less hose there is between the bleeder the better.

My bleeder was very close to the turbo for a while, not a spike.

Ive seen other "in cabin" jobs and they are appaling.

Either way, the police these days are not stupid (i assume you are in Vic)

I would just take the car to a workshop and have the actuator modified to run a higher boost level for minor applications

I was told by a cop to remove my ebc one day, i rang transport and they said it was fine.

Called the cop back and left a message to call me, suprise suprise he never called me back.

I am in qld, dont know about victoria though.

I would never use a simple bleeder, grab a pfc and the boost control kit for that. You should be able to hide it pretty well!

Whats wrong with using a bleeder?

Dont know what experience you have had with ebc's but mine have been all good.

I wound never use something as cheap and coarse and a bleeder i also like the ebc's ability to bring boost on a little faster!

If the budget allows i would always grab a ebc, but yes there are some out there that are a little dodgy.

I have used profec b, and profec b spec II, for my 26/30 i will use a pfc and the pfc bc kit.

Well see how it goes.

However i will be the first to admit it can take some time to set an ebc up perfectly!

If your labelling a bleeder dodgy, you have NFI what you are talking about :D

I've never used an EBC. Bleeders since day one.

EBC's are nice, bleeders are nice.

To say one is dodgy is just wrong

As i said i feel they are a little coarse, and cannot bring boost on earlier as a ebc can.

I also said that some ebcs are a little dodgy, does this mean i have NFI what im talking about?

I suspect that it people are having problems with ebcs that are known to do the job well then perhaps they need to look at uprgading from the stock actuator to bring their mechanical boost level closer to their desired higher ebc boost level.

i dont reckon an EBC can bring boost on earlier compared to a bleeder.

I certainly didnt have boost delivery issues

With an ebc you can adjust when the wastegate starts to open, this brings boost on faster than a bleeder. If you set this to close to your desired boost level if will spike. You must find a good compromise which is the difference between a well setup ebc and one that isnt.

The greddy profec b spec 2 can also limit boost spiking. eg i have it set to 1.18 bar as i dont want it to go over 1.17. This feature is really handy when setting it up.

Maybe give one a try someday, you could always sell it if you dont like it.

If you have a pfc i think it would be silly not to run their pfc ebc kit.

Also i wasnt saying you were having boost delivery issues.

EBC vs a Bleeder, I have a Turbosmart boost Tee I have no problems with it, if you hit the Accelerator hard a 5000rpm it spikes only .5 psi and it is conected after the coola. is spikeing all that bad, $80 to $400 I think the Bleeder does fine.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
