getting a few bolt ons for my GTR soon and i've purchased most of the parts.

Here they are

34 N1 turbs

trust dumps/fronts

PFC

cat

exhaust

JB clutch

bosch 040

sard 700 inj

THe last thing i don't have is a boost controller.

I haven't decieded between the turbotech one ($22) or a EBC.

Can someone explain the pro and cons of both and if the EBC is a better way to go, should i go for the apexi one or somthing else.

Thanks.

i've heard alot of good feedback about the turbotech boost vavles, like they come onto boost quicker and there very accurate. but i used to always get told that you should only use EBC's because they dont spike and you can see wat you've set your psi to wihout haveing to drive it and read ur psi off you boost gauge.

id rather the EBC but the cost of them compared to the turbo tech units is a bit much (im still an apprentice) so id get the turbotech boost valve.

dont know if that helps at all . . .

:(

Anything up to 15 - 18 psi the turbotech will do the job just fine... i have been running it in my car on 10psi for quite sometime without a single spike... but my car is pretty much stock...

For larger power applications and high boost settings, a decent EBC is the way to go... the Greddy Profec II are selling for $390 delivered! Pretty cheap investment for an accurate boost control unit with incabin adjustment and setting...

Cheers

The other option is to get a larger spring for the turbotech, which will hold high boost better.

I've seen both on a dyno, and the EBC is obviously better, but the turbotech does a very good job. EBC sat right on the set boost, the turbotech creeped 2psi over 4000rpm, no spiking though and good boost build. Hard to compare that to EBC though cos they were on different cars with different turbos

I've got the Blitz DSBC spec-R and yeah, very happy with it.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
