i recently (last week) went out and bought myself an electronic boost controller, GReddy Profec Bspec II, while not exactly top of the range, its good for what i need it for,

now all i need, is a workshop to install it, and give her a dyno tune (badly in need of one)

can any one recommend a shop? and rough price?

thanks in advance :down:

then there is nothing to tune.... but you could get it remapped by speedlab etc there in adelaide.

best bet is to get a mate to help install it and set it up on the road. Best boost control settings are ALWAYS done on the road as a dyno CANNOT perfectley replicate road conditions.

then what the fark is wrong with it if it cant be tuned? it spools up hard like normal, but only pushes a whole three-5 pound boost! its slowly getting lower and lower!

i got told to get an ebc and take it to be tuned.

is this the prob? or do i have a bigger prob on my hands? like a dying turbo?

Stock ECU's can't be tuned (or re-tuned easily) the boost controller could be "tuned". But its more just putting the settings on the controller correct.

If your losing boost you may have a problem which a workshop could assist with, how are you measuring boost though?

Also, most states have a recommended workshop list, I'd recommend workplace, just drive to Bayswater, Victoria :P

ha ha, bit far to drive mate, im measuring the boost on the guage in the stock cluster, and the autometer boost guage i had installed, both read the same, and trust me, it feels no where near as quick as it used to..

Read your profec instruction manual, then go to a quiet bit of road somewhere with a friend and play with settings.

Since its a stock 33 turbo 12 psi is an appropriate amount of boost. On mine i do set to 50% gain to 20 and set gain to 12 and that gets about 12 psi.

Just as long as you notice when you go over 12 or so psi and de tune to less pressure so you don't hurt your turbo.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
