Time to choose a boost controller for my R33 GTR.

Does anyone use just a simple boost tap? Or is it not a done thing? (I was thinking about using the TurboXS Hi-Po one)

This is my first twin turbo set up so I'm not really down with what people use. I've used an eboost on my previous car but I felt it was a waste of money as I never changed the settings/used the features.

I don't need to turn it up and down regularly or switch between different settings, just hold the one setting sufficiently (20psi).

What are your thoughts peeps? What do you use?

Cheers.

I dont run one... and plenty of other cars (all racepace customers) dont either :(

You cant say they lack response due to gate creep or anything that a EBC sometimes might alleviate

Maybe head down, have a chat and save yourself some money?

I never planned to run one with 20psi... although im stuck @ ~ 12.5psi for a while until i find money :)

Infact, with the 4 different setups ive had in 5 years... ive never used a EBC once now i think about it

Yeah I use one of the $20 options that was recommended on here, that guy that was making them.

Holds 20psi everyday flawlessly so I don't see a need for anything else, I don't need real time flashy bar graphs or any bs like that.

So I would recommend one of those, search for $20 boost controller should come up with the thread. Otherwise if your a poser a HKS EVC *runs*

+1 for Racpace style controller.

Simple and effective.

Spend your money on other mods.

Do they still use the standard boost solenoid with a different restrictor or is it boosted solely off the wastegates?

Yeah thats what I was thinking of using. The price is right and the feedback is good. Don't need to look at gauges and fancy shit, gotta watch the road! Was just curious as to if they were just as good with a twin turbo setup.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
