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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
