Hi Guys,

I recently purchased an r33 gtst ser1 and it has an eboost 2 40psi controller on board, Now im having torubles with getting the correct settings, I have taken it to a tuner but after 3 days of taking it there they have had no time to look at it,so I have decided to try and get the correct settings dialed in.

When i purchased the car the owner told me that his battery had died and the eboost was causing the boost to fluctuate under full load, it seems that the turbo will spool up and then die for a second and then remain on full boost. does anyone here know what settings I would need for my car to run @ 13psi with the following mods

FMIC

3inch Turbo back exhaust.

What i need is

gate pressure

sensitivity level

boost set point

any help would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

why bother with a 40psi boost controller?

if its too complex, it probably is

a boost controller should be fairly easy to set

sell it, and buy something more normal?

otherwise google for some instructions

because it will come in handy for future mods, why downgrade and then have to upgrade again, it was in the car when I bought it so there is no point spending time removing it then selling it for the same price of a new lower spec boost controller, seems pointless to me.

The Eboost2 is a good unit but it is fairly difficult to get right. i have one on my r33. The problem that you are haveing is the same one as what i used to have. I had lots of trouble setting mine up it would not go passed 9 psi. I had to take the car to a couple of tunners till i got it worked out. It could still be adjusted more but i have become used to it. what are some of the mods u have done so far ?

I have 3 different settings SP1 10 psi, SP2 15 psi & SP3 19 psi. It would be easy to make your settings do these but will your car handle it.

mods t mine are

Hyper Gear Hyflowed Turbo

FMIC

3" zorst turbo back

Splitfire coils

Microtech lt12 computer

Eboost2

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
