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?

Edited by R33Turbo

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...

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
