Hello,

i have an r32 gtr and it came with a profec A boost controler and an SM Intergrate electronic boost guage. and they read different :S

The electronic boost guage reads higher than the digital boost readout on the profec. I had the boost set to 0.8bar on the controler for it to hit 1 bar on the guage. i wanted it on a bar but left it like that to be safe.

After getting the car on the dyno it turns out that the digital readout on the Profec is correct and when 1 bar is selected, 1.2 1.3 bar shows on the electronic boost guage. I was happy because the car was faster.

Today i checked where both units were getting the reading from, the profec was getting the reading from the top of the fuel reg and the the SM Intergrate was getting the reading from somewhere at the back of the engine bay. I changed the plumbing so they both read from the top of the fuel reg but they still dont match.

Im convinced the electronic guage is wrong. Does anyone know how to adjust the SM Intergrate unit. Cant find any english manuals or instructions on the net. I have manuals here but theyre in japanese.

Theres a unit under the bonnet that accepts the vacume line then runs to the powered unit in the cabin. Is is worth poping the top of it to see if i can adjust it.

Help anyone?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
