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

probably ball bearing also... i have one of those turbo tech it was on my car a totall of 3 hrs CRAP! you can have it if you need spring and ball....cheap and nasty... maybe i got a dud one but they sux!

and i did adjust it .....

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.

i have one as well that never worked prop at all no matter where you set it mine boost straight to 15 pound . not good on stock turbo or ecu . i have had it apart so many times and connected it up every way possiable and it does exactly the same thing . mine ended up in the bin .so im running stock boost now 7 pound and leaving it alone

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
