forget the term boost jet and call it what it actually is. A "Restrictor"

its a small piece of steel tube that is fittted snuggly inside the actuator supply line from the manifold.

it has a smaller hole in the middle approx 2.5 - 3mm compared to the 6mm rubber line.

im running one in conjunction with my PFCBC and a 18psi actuator and i have no issues controlling boost up to 27psi.

ramps onto boost hard, and then stays within 1psi to redline.

and just to clarify an earlier remark in regards to increasing boost can make it come on sooner.

if your target level is close or just past your actuator tension, then your internal gate flap will allready be opening before you reach your target boost as to control the clime in pressure. If you were to run a heavier actuator and run higher boost then the flap will stay completely shut for longer causing it to ramp up harder and earlier.

not 1000rpm sooner but certainly 100 - 300rpm sooner.

What I do is I start with a brass t piece. Solder the third leg closed. Then I use my micro drill bits used for drilling electronics like printed circuit boards. I just start drilling bigger until I get the right boost. Either that, or start big and solder it and go smaller.

soldering the brass is very easy. that way you don't have to keep buying nozels.

the t piece costs like $2.

It works without an aftermarket ecu. Just get rid of the stock solenoid.

Either that, or get a jaycar iebc and use it to control the solenoid (and use a restrictor to control the boost level).

The jaycar iebc will allow you to have the quickest possible boost build and best control over the boost curve compared to any ebc out there.

my gtr runs a Tee'd off little peice of silicone hose with a utilux bullet head clamped inside with a hole in the end. 13 psi.

Now thats a cheap ass controller!

"Clamped" Huh

look like zip ties to me.

back yard racing FTW.. lol

mine is an internal restricor inside the feed line. i dont have a T peice.

    • 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.
