Just collecting up the last bits I need for my car before I start modding it. I will be running Power FC + Handset, FMIC, 650cc Injectors, HKS 25/30 turbo, Exhaust and Fuel Pump. I have heard so many different opinions from people as to what boost controllers to run but I am trying to maintain a relatively standard looking bay (exception been the FMIC and filter which isn't a real big issue) and dont want to have any lines and valves running all over the place especially with some known Jap brands plastered all over them as the cops in Adelaide seem to be real pricks with these skyline at the moment. And yes a bleed screw would stick out but if it would be a lot easier to hide out of sight than a control unit mounted in the bay or a controller in the glove box or under the dash. I'm not even planning on having the hand controller in the car when driving around as I am aiming to keep the car looking mildly modified and having that stuff hanging out on display would only add fuel to the fire.

My question is do I really need to run a fancy pants boost controller like a Blitz or even the Power FC units you can buy if my aim is to hit 220-230rwkw and leave the car as is. I don't intend on winding any more boost into it or start mucking around with it once the car is tuned as it is my daily.

The cost of the actual unit isn't the issue but would a simple bleed screw be ample or will it cause issues like boost spiking or cause problems with the PFC? I am also running a HKS adjustable actuator on the turbo if that information helps.

Also any feedback as to what set ups people have run successfully will be welcomed

A electronic Boost controller will hold a constant boost setting better without fade over the rev range.

For peice of mind get a Greedy unit less the $400.00

You will get better performance over the rev range..

The turbotech boost tee which is used widely on this forum has great performance. Everyone I speak to recommends it. The only advantages to an electronic boost controller that I know of is that you can have multiple boost settings and you can get it to build boost faster (my old eboost could).

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
