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 put the settings in.

Install it yourself, very easy to do.

From memory all you need is a power and earth source (from under the dash), and run a vacume line (and wires to the solenoid) through the firewall to the unit.

I installed mine in around half an hour. If you live up the north east you are welcome to have a look.

It was much better than the old bleed valve, boost came on a little earlier, and didnt spike (allowing a slightly higher boost setting)

I tend to drive on low boost most of the time (good for wet roads and when leaving it at a workshop), and go to high boost for occasional spirited drives or track day events

no i didnt contact foursnmore, they didnt answer there phone after 3 attempts of calling! :D

as this is my first import (used to own holden 8s) ;) , im just trying to find the best work shop that is most convienient, to be honest, pricing doesnt really bother me to much, as long as the job gets done as best it can,

i hope it feels quicker, it felt quick for the first week, but now im used to it, so out comes the wallet :)

thanks again for you help people, will let you know how i go, and how she goes when i pick her up.

well i got it back from morpowa today, they managed to get 205.6 rwkw out of it, on hi boost of 11 psi, they couldnt push boost up any more cos the injectors where leaning out,

now i just gotta figure out how to use this bloody controller, i have the instructions, but who reads them these days? lol

im happy with this figure for now,

and im happy with morpowa, i think ill be using them again for sure! :domokun:

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
