Hiya fellas,

I've just picked up a turbotech manual boost controller and i'd just like some pointers before I start. My question is :

Is the pipe i've put a red arrow to on this picture the line to the wastegate actuator?

If so is that where I should fit the turbotech boost controller ?

Thanks very much all,

Howie

So make a cut where the red line is, insert the boost contoller there, and then which line do i bung up?

And do you take the brass piece (pictured on top in photo) out of the equation totally thereby bypassing the solenoid?

You don't have to cut any lines (unless you can't get the old lines off that brass F fitting).

The Brass F Fitting is taken out completely... leaves you with the wastegate line and 2 going to the boost solenoid. You can use either one of those 2 lines for the new boost controller, the remaining line - just put a screw in it to bung it up; make sure it's tight.

PS: I was trying to look for a photo that Zymotic sent me when I installed mine; perhaps ask him for it?

Hiya Stan,

Thanks mate, clear as mud now (hehe). QRI05E just sent me that photo... makes much more sense now.

Cheers heaps, i think i'm sorted out. I'll take some photos during the install and post it up here in case anyone runs into this thread needing help.

So how does it go with the turbotech in Howie?

Gidday bud, lo and behold it arrived last night. i'll stick in the boost gauge first (thanks stan for tips on this btw), then check that it's accurate, then give the turbotech a shot.

I'll grab some pics (maybe a video too) for the R34 so you can do your install when the time comes.

Cheers

Howie

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
