if i may jump on the bandwagon here...

my r32 gtst is running 15psi, through a no-name bleed valve, (was running 17psi with no dramas) and i dont get any of the missing/hesitation that some ppl have mentioned... Does this mean my ecu has been re-mapped?

standard turbo (hiflowed)

How about setting the boost with the control arm to the wastegate and leaving it alone. Power is controlled by the right foot right ? Mine is set at 20psi and thats it. If its raining I don't nail it.

The only purpose I've seen so far for adjustable boost is so that when I beat a dude in a "traffic light grand prix" he can say "but I wasn't runniing full boost" or "I was only running 12psi" etc.

Oops, I can feel a flogging from Sydneykid coming :D

bleeders 'trick' the car into thinking it's still running 10psi while it's actually running, say, 12 etc....

That is exactly what a EBC does !!

It will bleed pressure out of the wastegate hose to increase boost, as well as (some do) stop any pressure going to the wastgate to eliminate wastegate creep.

Basically a EBC and a bleed both 'trick' the turbo/wastegate into generating more boost.

It's just that an EBC is usually more stable.

yah dont bypass the boost solinoid it doesn't like it. I tryed on mine and the dyno said something like this. bypass boost solinoid: 10PSI. fuel mix, 10 (ritch). power, not even 110KW at wheel.

with boost connected: 7PSI fuel mix, 12 (just right). power over 120KW at wheel. if you guys dont belive me try it. dont think you got more power untill you put it on a dyno. I hate those !^#@$%( that think boost is everything that makes a car go quick and that's all you need.

This sounds like the answer i was looking for... are you saying i can have the standard wastegate adjusted for more boost? then the ecu remapped to suit?

Here here!

WOOOHOOOO!!!

ok, now lets get technical...(not too technical though)...

I'm gonna have a dyno tune done in the upcoming months, can he do the retune on the ecu?

how do i adjust the wastegate (or how is it adjusted?)

"Oops, I can feel a flogging from Sydneykid coming"

No, on the contrary GTRman1992, if you read my past posts you would notice I agree with you. Multi stage boost controllers are a waste of money better spent on something that makes the car go faster, not slower. Like you, I use the throttle to control how fast I go. If I don't need full power, I don't push it down so far.

I'll get back to those turbos of yours in another post........

Yes, I can name at least three dudes I know who installed a turbo smart bleed valve and blew up there cars. You cannot just wind up the boost without considering a lot of other parameters. Best to set the boost with proper tune and leave it alone.

I look forward to continued discussion re my setup.

Put your car on the dyno before playing with the boost. Not only will you be able to determine exactly what boost pressure your running, but also determine other things like fuel pump health which is almost paramount.

bleeders sux and so does the single solenoid avc-r. Get yourself a dual solenoid ebc like a profc b spec 2

I could be wrong but dont most electronic boost controllers 'pulse' the signal hence making the top of a boost curve like a sine wave? A bleed valve just lets it flow with less turbulence?

I believe that BMT took the HKS EVC off the Endless R32 to make way for a $150 bleeder. This is a car capable of running 10s....

The only purpose I've seen so far for adjustable boost is so that when I beat a dude in a "traffic light grand prix" he can say "but I wasn't runniing full boost" or "I was only running 12psi" etc.

:werd: That, and its fun to flick the switch.

    • Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
    • Extend the sensor out of the car, put it in a pot of oil, heat oil up. You'll get to 80-120 then 馃槢
    • Yeah - I tried throwing the formulas from ChatGPT and it tried it's best as it told me that the Formula in HPTuners as requested is a Linear function, but the original data I provided it (resistance to temp) is not linear and thus it kept trying to suggest formulas that would be more accurate in regions I actually want it to be accurate in. But I didn't quite understand it at the time. I have now thrown the data into graphs and can clearly see they're all different shapes. Given it's an oil temp sensor I probably want it to be most accurate between 80 and 120c - So I don't really see much alternative other than driving the hell out of the car and letting it cool down from 120C, noting the voltage on the sensor as it chills out. But at that point if I write it down, well, I'll be able to know this from the voltage. Would look pretty stupid on a datalog or a video showing me going down the straight at 0.265V Oil temp 
    • Yeah, it looks like it's being ran as a constant current setup is my guess. Get some more data points, reading the degrees C on the gauge, and what the voltage is you're seeing out of it. The sensor itself is not linear, even in smaller ranges of like 20 - 60 it's non linear. But if we can get some good plots, particularly at those 5volt steps, it will be very easy to work out, and then I can give you a logarithmic formula if its you need an actual formula. Also, very likely ChatGPT will lead you astray with some of this stuff, as it totally depends on how the circuit is built.
    • So to further complicate things or hopefully explain better: This is a VDO sensor. It clearly does this math inside the gauge itself... because it displays a temperature in C to me instead of a voltage. The signal wire to the gauge is in Volts, not Ohms. I have just teed into this and sent it to the ECU.
