Hi Guys,

Buying an Apexi AVCR very soon.

Just want to know if i can hook up an external switch (i.e. not by pressing a switch on the avcr face) to change between hi and low boost?

My idea is to have a switch on my dash which allows me to run low boost, then when i punch this switch the AVCR switches to high boost setting.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Cheers

Excuse the incorrect use of language, but you dont want to use a missile switch. The AVC-R has two boost settings so yo ujust go to the setting you want to run. A missile switch is a two pole( Language???) switch . You want a sinle contact button so that only whilst pressed it will complete the circuit thus giving you the scramble

I have a button on my old steering wheel for it. Though i never really had enough power to justify using it. I actually used it to drop boost with the scramble feature. So when launching in 1st gear i only had 8psi then in the higher gears i used to use the normall Setting B high boost setting of 15psi on my std turbo. Like i said never really had enough power to justify using it that way, maybe make use of it now that i have more power but i dont run it anymore :(

whats the point? why not just tune the car for the maximum possible safe boost you can run

and use the avcr tuning ability to curve the duty to correct wheelspin etc

most people break things when their car is setup for a safe level

and they have a switch to go higher "for short runs"

if you run higher, why not run higher all the time

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
