Hi all

before i start ill just say i have a r33 95 with one of those turbotech boost controlers

i was running 10 psi quite confoirtable since i bought it and during my drive home frpom work i noticed the car not pulling as hard as usual . so i planted it and npticed i was only hitting 5-6 psi max... pulled over, lifted the hood to notice the boost controller adjustment twirly me thingwas very loose and with one more revolution could have come completely off.. anyway fixed it up tightened the twirler and jumped back in the car only to notice i was still running the same boost (5-6 psi) , anyawy i kept on pulling over and adjusting the boost cotroller about 5-6 times and not noticing any differance in boost.... ?????

Am i missing sometihng here ??? why isnt my boost adjusting ??? its probably sometihng really simple but ill ask someone who has more of an idea than me

cheers

Tim

iv heard a lot of problems with those ones ... they dont hold boost or anything - piece of shite . i have a gfb and i was in my mates car who has a $30 mbc and you can tell it shits on all the others out there - im pissed i spent $100 on the gfb . you will know the difference when you put an mbc on or leave the stock running - you will feel an amazing amount of power loss. im feeling the same problems some times = im yet to get this boost controller - but this 1 has a fat adjustment bolt and holds so well.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      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.
