guys just bought a turboX boost controller,hooked it up and have played with it for hours!!! and the loweset i can get it going it is 13 psi,with spikes up to a 15! car is a r32 gtst full 3 inch, high flow cat , pod,bov,why is it so high and is this safe?

cheers

have you got it setup right ?:S

cause we use turbosmart bleedvalve an we can run what ever boost we want ?

(r33 gtst)

spikes on a bleedvalves are common. their not to good for holding boost either.

have you got a pic of how its setup ?

Here is a pic (attached) of how it is setup. From the picture you can see that the bottom hose goes to the wastegate whilst the hose on the left goes down and to the turbo. It was setup as the instructions said and is set up the same as on my brother's 180. The instructions say to never let the fine adjusting screw more then 2 turns from fully closed otherwise lag will occur. If I set it to 2 or more turns then it spikes past 15psi. So it is now set at less then 2 turns. The coarse adjusting valve is also set as low as it can go. I'm not real sure what the problem is only thing I can think of is that the hoses have some kind of problem ?

u hook 1 to the wastegate line on the turbo and the other to a pressure line on the intake (cooler pipe is easiest), thats how it reads the 2 different pressures

Thats right :thumbsup:

it should look somthing like this. one goes to the actuator and the other hose coming off the bleedvalve should go to the intercooler pipe :(

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
