hi all,

I would like to know what EBC I can use that will allow me to run 0-20psi boost on a R33GTR?

My wife is not used to manuals and I do not want her to get into any trouble, so I want to set the boost at say 1psi for her, but I want 20psi for track days. I do not need any bling bling just full control of the boost.

Thanks

Get an adjustable actuator to set it less than the normal "factory' setting. Depending on the actuator used you could effectively get rid of all boost.

This will need to be adjusted manually between driver swapping though, could turn out to be a big pain in the arse real quick :mad:

You could also just disconnect the actuator, a much quicker job. I don't know how healthy this will be for your wastegate/turbo though, because it'll probably be flapping around a hell of a lot.

Thanks for the replies people,

I was wanting something that would drop the boost down below factory specs, but I am guessing I would need something with an electronic wastegate/actuator and that would equal big $$$.

Tha AVCR looks to be the go, do I need a specific model to use on the RB26DETT ? They seem to be costing around the $750AU for a new one, but I did not want one that was for a different model motor and want to make sure.

Are they also user install or do i need it pro installed and then dynoed ?

Thanks all

best to get it installed/setup by a pro. Here in adelaide i was quoted ~$250 (for install/tuning). It suits many types of cars, not brand specific. I've got the "vehicle specific wiring diagrams" book sitting in front of me (come with the AVCr when u buy it) and the Rb267dett is listed. :mad:

Depends on how competent you are with the iron. I installed my S-AFC myself and I've removed/replaced the turbo myself, I don't imagine a boost controller would be much harder than combining the 2.

There are no tuning costs if you don't have a reprogrammable ECU or piggyback device (S-AFC etc), but don't expect it to run very well until you get one and tune it :mad:

there very easy to put in it took me 1 1/2 hours to put in from opening the car door to taking the first run down the street just take it to some one who has one to show u haw to us it the boost setings r very low so u cant realy do much damage if u dont play to much with the set up but just dont give it to it to much till u have been shown haw to us it

yes but with the avc-r you can set boost for each gear and rpm range..and ye u cant set boost lower than lowest on wastegate.

install you can do urself with a bit of skill and tuning you can go dyno or with a mate and long stretch of road :D

if u only want hi / low setting then profec b spec2 is good buy..

its still a single solenoid unit, it displays injector cycle etc but if u got a pfc with h/c u can see that anyway.

So so many people have stated u can set boost in every gear but has any1 actually done it??? coz how does the avc-r know what gear u r in?? it doesent get a signal from the gearbox.

Right ppl. I have in front of me the AVCr instruction manual. I haven't had it installed yet (due to engine dying week after I bought it - different story). The Avcr has a number of different learn modes. Its pretty complicated, but there is a wire for the revs and a wire for the speed signal. It uses some sort of calculation from these two values to know what gear its in

Yes it would work - cos its in the Manual. Just need someone in the know to set it up fo u.

:O

    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
    • Yes, ther are plenty of [racist statement alert] terrifying 50+ yr old ladies of a certain ethnic origin who have no demerits yet still manage to park their cars on top of roundabouts, hanging out of multistory car parking structures and other wild shenanigans. Somehow they puddle through years of driving without ever attracting the attention of the cops, yet the whole time, they are an instant away from doing something spectactularly stupid.
