Boost Controller


Recommended Posts

I've got a R33 GTST running a stock turbo. I was wondering if there is any value in buying an electronic boost controller or a two stage controller and just follow the sticky elsewhere on this site and just ground out the neutral and run it on high [stock] boost all the time.

Whata ya reckon?

Depends how much you want to spend, $300 can get you a proper EBC; Gizzmo MS-IBC (soemtimes theyre $250), I run one with my 32 GTR and pretty happy with having 6 boost memories.

since you're running the stock turbo, why not just get a Turbotech boost controller for $30

+1

Yeah go manual if u got a stock turbo, they do the same thing as an ebc, just a bit more hassle to get what you want.

way cheaper tho :P

Wouldnt it depend on how much boost you want to run?

Cant go much over 12psi on the turbo safely, and then the ECU runs out of happiness too.

So if your looking at less than that, R32 actuator is key! Cheap and hassle free.

get either a r32 actuator or a cheap turbotech controller. much cheaper than an electronic boost controller (so you can put the extra few hundred dollars towards other mods), and work just as well and easier to set up.

    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
    • Id like to race in the US i think alot of those track would suit me   For the s15? Youd be stuck between club sprint and the new Open Am wouldnt you depending on how much interior you have left in
