I have just received my turbotech boost controller and wondering how to fit it.

I know it goes between the wategate actuator and turbo but what does it look like and where is it?

Anyone have any pics of install?

I have a R33 gtst series 2.

Also when i fit it will the two stage boost solinoid still function or do i have to bypass it somehow?

CHEERS

dave

you have to bypass it run it. there should be a hose from you intercooler intake pipe to the solinoid run that to the boost controller and then run the boost controller back to the actuator..

do you have a boost gauge?

you'll want one..

lol then it goes between the cooler pipe and the wastegate actuator, make sure its wound all the way down (check your manual), the stock boost controoler has 3 lines just take them off i think from memory one needs to be blocked up just use a screw or something. Then make sure you have a good boost gauge not the shit factory one and go for a drive it should be like 5psi etc then increase the boost little by little untill you get your required boost.... i hope i have helped

OK done.Now running a constant 9psi.Would this be a safe boost level for stock intercooler.I have a tube and fin kit waiting in the garage to be fitted.Then ill go 11psi.But then i get into the rich and retard bracket dont i.What are you running on your setup?

post-26632-1166237407.jpgthis is what you did right? its not very difficult, only two hoses.

you can take the stock solenoid out or leave it in the car, either way block all unused hoses by screwing a suitable screw into the end and maybe a zip tie over it. there is only one small hose you need to do this to though. if your having trouble maybe you forgot this bit lol.

do u screw the bolt in for less boost or out? im still learnin haha

screw in for more boost, so when you first put it on have it screwed out so you dont overboost straight away, turn it bit by bit til you get to a good boost level.

PLEASE NOTE : this instruction is for turbotech design only, some other bleed valves may work differently.. if you have a different controller it may be the opposite. If so and you blow up your turbo dont come crying to me.

    • 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.
