I need a boost controller that can have two settings (hi / low).

I need the boost to come on later on low and earlier on hi. Is this possible or am I dreaming?

Why would you want it to come on later on low anyhow?

Won't save you petrol if thats what you are thinking.

The principle of saving petrol is not having to keep the accelerator on for long.That is cruise as much as possible at a steady high speed and avoid braking. So just get up to speed quick and coast in high gear. Revving slowly up to high rpm without the boost on won't help your cause as you are still using the same amount of energy to get up to the target speed.

The main advantage of accelerating slowly is that you may end up braking less because you don't get make it up to the target speed before you are already braking at the next lights.

Who cares about low boost controller setting - if you press the accelerator less; voila! lower boost is created.

i was thinkn bout apexi too, is it ne gewd?

They arnt bad. You can set the boost level by rpm, so have lowish boost at low rpm to help get off the line without too much wheelspin and then higher boost in the mid-high rpm. I use the blitz sbc type s and it works very well, combined with my external wastegate they hold boost dead flat across the rpm range.

also have d profec a.....

has 2 settings low/hi plus scramble boost

its like gettin instant boost..... set 2 a desire boost level n 4 a designated amount of time... so u can run low boost all day day n when need more boost just press d scramble boost button n whoilla

I agree with Edge, if you want to go faster you push the throttle pedal down some more.

Bringing boost on earlier by using a boost controller is impossible. If there is not enough exhaust gases to spin the turbine fast enough to make boost, then I don't care what boost controller you have, you ain't gunna get any boost.

The point at which the manifold pressure becomes positive is always the same regardless of what boost controller you have (or don't have). If you have a wastegate that opens a little earlier than its preset pressure, then a boost controller can help to keep it closed a little longer. This enables a slightly steeper increase to maximum boost, as no exhaust gas is escaping (bypassing) the turbine.

You don't need fancy electronic circuits and logic to achieve this. We have found this $125 system to be as effective as any;

I would use the saved money on other things that are much more effective in making the car go faster.

Hope that helps

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
