LOL i am hardly an expert!

Ive only had it on there for bout 2 or 3 weeks and been playing with it tryin to get it somewhere right.

just went and had a look at my settings and atm they are-

set: 40%

gain:27

set gain:6psi

its holding boost pretty well but needs more fine tuning. also been hard cause ive been trying to do it on my own...

My cars mods are just 3" turbo back and a K&N panel so pretty stock...

hope that was of some help to ya! :P

oh also just adding the peak boost with those settings was 10.3psi....not sure of the rpm(bit hard to drive and look at it lol)

Cuz ive got it installed and set by UAS, i didn't really wanna touch it so before i do this how do i check wat the original settings are currently? what do i turn or press on the EBC? :D thanks alot by the way

to check the set just turn the nob but dont press it in...it will display the current setting and go away on its own.

for the gain just press the mode button once, press it twice for set gain, and all the other settings are the warning and limiter and peak boost etc...

let me know what they are set to atm and what kinda boost ur getting...

:P

Set: 45%

Gain: 20%

Set Gain: 8.7psi

Those are the high boost settings which makes around 11 psi boost like 10minutecar and also drops as much as he does (to about 9 psi)...

Do the other settings affect the boost or performance wise at all or are they just extra features such as warning alarm and etc?

Also does the setting you have spike boost at all? And if it does spike the warning alarm will go off right?

I havent even been in my car since yesterday so nah havent tried em out yet. It sucks in the rain i get to much wheelspin in second gear...

With the warning, i have never hit it as ive been conservative with my settings as not to overboost.

But yeah according to the manual the warning light comes on and the unit will lower boost by whatever you set the limiter to.

so at this setting u gave me it reaches 10.3 psi max?

If i wanted to reach about 11 psi with the boost not dropping below 10psi..how would i set the settings? im not too sure how to do this percentage setting thing

what i would do is just turn the knob up a couple of % at a time. dont forget u gotta press the knob in to actually set it.

just dont go upping the gain or set gain too much. It should only be adjusted up like 1 increment at a time....at least once its close to being right anyway

Have you gone for a run with those settings tho??

It probly is.... like i said im still playin around with it and have only had it for a couple of weeks... ill give ur settings a go tomorrow and see what happens.

It was hard for me to tell if it was dropping off much as i couldnt look at the guage as i was driving and was only relying on the peak boost and last boost features on the EBC.

If the boost is dropping off try increasing the gain setting by 1 or 2 increments at a time. just keep an eye on the peak boost. its a good idea to clear it before trying out new settings.

Where abouts are you from?

Yeah the last boost tells ya what it was as u let off the accelerator, not a drop in boost. I really just need to get a mate to come for a drive with me so i can see whats happenin. Like I said before ill try out the settings u mentioned and see what i get with them...

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
