Fs: Blitz Twin Solenoid Boost Controller.

Hey ladies and gents, looking to offload this boost controller as I've bought a replacement. It currently has a glitch where its not running the original boost pressure it used to, traced it to the solenoids I almost 100% sure, bleeding pressure, even when the controller is switched off. Works as is and seems to work quite well but I don't want to risk damage in case of a spike or what not as im running a pretty 'on the edge' tune.

Issue started about 2 months ago, where base boost with controller in the loop rose from 7psi to 10psi. Had marks for my 'safe tune' on the controller unit which is now useless to me as I had to wind the knob down for it to run near correct boost. From face appearance (I cant confirm, just looks exactly identical, the solenoid box itself I talk of) the twin solenoid setup is exactly the same as that used in the newer Blitz Dual SBC Spec R pictured here : http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/images/sbcspecr.jpg so you if you could just source the solenoid box, or even just the solenoids, then its quite an easy task to swap them over (I've opened up the solenoid box and applied some silicon to wherever I could see joins on the 2 solenoids to make sure there were no external leaks - didn't help, so obviously one of the solenoids is leaking internally)

Difference from the unit in the picture and the older Blitz Twin Solenoid I have for sale is that there is no digital 'boost gauge' type unit on the controller, and there is also an extra component, guess its the brains of the unit, where the controller is connected to, as well as a vacuum line and loom going off to the solenoid box that you position in the engine bay. Has adjustability for sensitivity and switch for use for both actuator and wastegate setups.

Anyway, as I said, it works as is and when setup the boost doesn't seem to be all over the place (ie, its continually holding the same boost when setup the same, not one minute 10psi, next minute 15psi etc etc) but I cant promise that that'll be the deal in the long time (solenoid could start bleeding more air). Has two adustable levels and a button to switch between the Hi and Lo settings, as well as power button to turn it off altogether (although as I said, it currently wont run 'base' boost even with the controller turned off, ie whatever the wastegate or external gate runs as standard, which I believe is ~5 or 7psi in MR2s with stock wastegate actuator.)

Anyhow, would like $150 ONO but throw me an offer. I'll take pics of the unit once I get my hands on the eboost 2 and remove this unit.

Bump, this may not even be faulty at all. Seem to have similar issues with the eboost as well. Admittedly its not setup correctly yet but I'll keep you in touch with the results.

Ah, appears it wasn't the boost controller playing up at all, the diaphram in my external gate has splits in it :miner:

As such, im pretty sure this is 100% working and without fault. Adjusting price to $200 ono in light of this new info.

Anyone interested? Will try get ahold of a digital camera tomorrow and take some happy snaps.

It comes with:

Controller unit.

Little 'brain' box I guess you'd call it.

Vacuum line to from above mentioned box to engine bay, with a T piece on that end.

Solenoid box.

Loom to connect 'brain' box to the solenoid box and also power and ground connections (these will probably need shortening for most cars, it was pulled from an MR2, and as such, wiring is a fair amount longer then your standard front engined car).

Anyhow, pics to come. I'll take some pics of the external gate diaphram whilst im at it to show you that im not having you on, unfortunately for me :rofl:

Pics postponed till tomorrow for all that requested them. Had to attend a birthday party today of a family member, as such didn't have time to get around and borrow a digi cam.

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
