And a heap of Golfs.

Yeah, but we already knew about them. The 370 I hadn't seen before.

orly? They pull you up or something?

Not me. They pulled up next to me at the lights at Rode Rd and Appleby Rd. Chatting away "hey, how's it going? Have a good night? Where you headed?" etc... and I was thinking "this guy is a bit... chatty... I hope it's not a cop because I have to go up that hill and my BOV is going to go off it's brain..." so the lights go green and the hero in the Hyundai coupe hits limiter, lays a massive skid and goes tearing up the road at about 90k through a 60 zone. Blue and red lights appear on the Z and I'm like :(

I took off slowly and limped up the hill so I didn't set off my BOV, when I got to the bottom he had the Hyundai pulled over and was getting out of his car with his little book of prizes. So I honked and waved goodbye and he waved back :(

...but yeah. Black 370Z hard top. Didn't see the plate because he was next to me, and then I couldn't see shit because of the flashing lights. Must be a Boondall or Strathpine one, so just be careful around Zeds.

So, finally figured out what is wrong with Jason's boost control set up.

What's wrong with this picture?

Hint: Symptoms include infinity boost, and (I presume) BOV not working

I can't believe I didn't spot it when I looked last week, my excuse is I was drunk on JB :(

I'll let you all guess for yourselves which 'mechanic' is responsible for this quality work.

So am I right thinking it should go Boost Control > Wastegate > BOV? but it currently goes Wastegate > Boost Control > Bov?

direction is irrelevant.

HINT: IF there was a boost source direction would be slightly more relevant

Sensor in the plenum then where else do they read air flow from?

But either way the BOV shouldn't be connected to the boost controller. Ur diagram is showing the BOV as the boost source right? Which means it wouldnt be getting any data saying open the wastegate. So wastegate stays shut and you get 11ty billion boost right?

Does colin get a prize?

No worries mang.

So whats happening with you and the alphabet lady?

Can't tell you... It's a secret :(

Jason's a flamin mongrel.

You love me really

I know this, but it is relevant why?

Because I'm awesome

No

Yes I farkn am... don't make me slap you

draw some direction lines on ur diagram then negro

It was a awesome diagram though :(

Hey ladies.

REgarding your l337 MS Paint 5k1llz Y0, you forgot to show the connection between the BOV, horn and the indicator fluid level sensor.

So you're all ghey......ah I mean wrong. Worng as in a bit fact guy with a bear touching himself whilst watching a Maria Carey video in nothing but a pizza stained singlet.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
