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.

    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
    • Damn you’ve done well, definitely snapping necks.
    • Great weekend and event. Open fire at the caravan park, perfect weather all day and a great feed and a couple of drinks at at awesome country pub.
    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
