hey .. just in regards to your comment on restriction

did you take out the restrictor in the factory rubber tubing that connects to teh boost t?

I did ( as per instructions ) so maybe give that a go !

OK, obviously this needs clearing up.....

The boost controller isn't a Turbotech.

It's a JRD.

It is made up of a very standard Tee-piece, and two unions for the hoses, a ball bearing, a spring , bolt & lock-nut.

on initial install (incidentally done at a tuning centre), I knew that it was high boosting as soon as I left.

I got home (5 mins away) and started backing off the bolt. After a few runs around the block I had the bolt right out to the last threads. It was still about the same. I didn't have time to play with it further, and decided to do it at the track.

I did 2 or 3 runs at the drag strip (about 1 hour after the install). It was max boosting & cutting. I removed the ball and spring...... so anyone at this point would expect the car to return to standard boost mode.

No, it was still boosting..... after looking at the holes in the unions, I found that they are about 2mm in dia, the Factory pipes are about 4-5mm. That is one big restriction on its own. Obviously far too much for my S2.

The hoses were a loose fit and required tightening with hose clamps a fair way. (this should have warned us).

So as I see it the controller, controls nothing. It is poorly researched and needs a larger inlet and outlet hole.

I am not disputing that the idea is solid but it sure didn't work on mine.

I may look at either replacement, or modifying it. But one thing is very clear to me and that it that the flow needs to be unrestricted initally, so that it can be restricted gradually and thereby giving the control that the item claims to be able to do. This item controls nothing, it is a restrictor and that is all.

I have to written to the seller. I'll post up the resolution.

WELL LAD`S & LASS`ES ANY STAGEA`S GOING TO BE DOWN THE DRAG`S TONIGHT ????,I KNOW THEIR IS A FEW SKYLINES GOING ,SO HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU OUT & ABOUT,cheer`s chuckie

Hey chuckie hope your night was good and hope a few boys and girls showed . As for the dash mat will call you before the weekend and will meet . And spin a little BS . And let you know how the mods have effected my times over the 1/4 . 14.5 at the mo but has awhole lot more .

ALL WAY`S HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AT THE DRAG`S DON`T CARE ABOUT WEATHER TO HOT >_< BORING :down:$15 TO WATCH HOON`S :):):banana: ,LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK :yes: ,HOPE TO SEE YOU DOWN HAVING A CRACK KYLIE, MIGHT ENJOY YOUR SELF,OR MAY BE TO COLD NEXT WEEK :blush:,COME ON LASS`ES & LAD`S $15 THAT`S A CHEAP NIGHT OUT, :) chuckie PS LOOK FORWARD TO THAT CORY,HOPE TO SEE YOU BEENING A HOON ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT :PBJ: .

its a bit more than $15 if you want to race.... $40 + fuel, and there's no point going every week unless you do something every week to get a quicker time.

PS. kylie has taken her stag down the plex before you even owned one mate, and no need for the smart ass comments either. >_<

I WAS RIDING MOTOR BIKE BEFORE YOU WAS OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A DRIVER`S LICENCE :P MORE THAN LIKELY A SPEC IN YOU DAD`S TESTICLES,I SAID NOTHING ABOUT RACING I SAID THAT I WAS GOING DOWN & HOPE TO SEE SOME OF ARE FELLOW STAGEA OWNER`S. PLUS IF KYLIE WOULD BE HELPFUL INSTEAD OF NEGATIVE WITH HER POST`S IN THIS THREAD THAT WOULD HELP.SOMEPEOPLE ARE ON HOLIDAY SO I WAS HOPING TO SEE SOME COME & HAVE A SOCIAL NIGHT OUT :3some::3some::3some: BUT NO.THAT`S OK SOME OTHER TIME,HOPE TO SEE YOU DOWN THE DRAG`S & MAY BE YOU WILL COME & SAY G`DAY :yes: ,MAY BE NEXT WEEK IF IT`S NOT TO HOT :wave: .LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU BOTH. :cheers: CHEER`S CHUCKIE

Chuckie I wasn't being negative, I was merely stating my reason for not attending,

and... err... ummm... you have met us both :wave: (time before last) Mitchy was racing his leggy and I introduced myself to you and Carl.

Anyways, I've raced my wagon, and although I'd like to see what she does now with a few tweaks here and there, I wont go down in a black car in 40 degree heat!

I'd rather it cooler any day! Least you can chuck a jumper on...

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
