Ive had this thing in my car since I bought it. The guy I bought it from had it set to ROUGHLY 14psi but it would over boost. Ive been playing around with settings for what, 3 months? And still can't get it to work properly.

I had it at one point set to 20%, 5%, 11psi, 14psi, 15% but the piece of shit wont let me hold boost. It goes up and drops, up and drops. I managed at one point to get it to work without hitting the limiter but it would only work on low boost.

Ive tried literally every set of settings I could find to get the thing to run 14psi. The current settings I'm using which I got from some UK skyline forum(and are good for 1bar/14psi) are 44%, 25%, 11.5psi, 15psi, 20%.

Ok so my limiter is set to 15% yet it will still boost to 16psi peak... SOMEONE HELP ME BEFORE I TEAR THIS THING OUT OF MY CAR!

I need settings. Ill put my engine specs here.

I figured that but 1.7psi over the limiter. I was losing traction and straight away backed off because I knew it was too high. My car's high boost is designed to run 16 - 17 psi but its not tuned for that level yet so I'm trying to keep it safe and healthy. I need someone to monitor my boost gauge so I can properly get some WOT and see what boost I maintain.

you cant copy other peoples settings, its different for every car.

start with the gain and set gain set as low as they go, and set the limiter 3-4psi above your target boost and the % limiter thing down low. then start winding the boost up til you reach close to your target. then wind in gain until it spikes then back it off a touch. after all that set the start boost (set gain) to 2-3psi below your target boost, if it spikes set it a bit lower.

if all else fails, find somewhere in your area who knows what they're doing to have a look for you

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
