bleed valves will always always always spike then return. manufacturers can argue this point till they're blue in the face but they're shifting the truth sideways... :(

dna make the best one that I have seen in practice with a significantly smaller, (but still there) level of spiking. boost leveles also remained steadier than the turbosmart ones they had there too...

i think they wanted 80 bux for the ones they had at the dyno day.

** I have no assocition with dna whatsoever. just calling it how i saw it **

yeah i have dodgy homemade one on my car .... it was like that when i bought it - does do the job but not as good as a proper one - lets just say its as open as it will go on my car :(

I had to drill my homemade one out a bit to let more air through. Now I can adjust between 7 and 15 psi. It hits 12 psi at about 3500rpm and stays on it all the way to the redline.

"does it bring on boost earlier"

This is a very debatable subject.  I personaly did experience an earlier spool up but there are some experts on here that will prove otherwise.

No expert can prove that they won't bring on boost earlier for the simple reason that they do! OK, before anyone gets all emotional, they can never do as good of a gob as a EBC but they WILL help.

Read this, It is explained how bleed valves do it.

If your going to muck around with bleed valve systems this is a good thread to read as well.

My R32 holds 10.9PSI all the way to 7500rpm if I take it there.

With the Bleeder no matter what I set it to it would drop down to around 12psi. With the stock IC it would drop to around 12psi and with the fmic it would drop to 12psi. It is the turbo running out of puff.

The max I could get out of the bleeder (rwkw) was 155rwkw.

When I fitted the FMIC a lighter tune with less timing and holding 1 bar of boost to redline made 164rwkw.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
