Good Morning All,

I currently have a turbo tech boost controller on my skyline and have purchased a powerup dsbc in the hope to run diff above standard boosts. The instructions say that one connection goes to the pressure side of the turbo and the other connection goes to the waste gate Actuator. I am pretty sure its the same connections as the existing turbotech. However having a look at the unit it doesn't seem to have a spring and ball setup like the turbo tech and im pretty sure that the unit is a bled valve system. ( i dont really know much about them. ) I tried this by blowing into the fittings and i could hear more/less air escaping depending on how much i turned the controllers. Are these any good and also are these legal? I cant help the feeling i wasted $99 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

put the turbotech back on.

the powerup one cannot hold boost properly and loses response compared to the turbotech item.

Invest in the new turbotech dual stage controller. (im yet to use the new dual stage but if its based on the old design there will be no issues) i dont see the need for multiple boost levels.... my right foot is usually the best controller.

yes they are just a bleed valve setup like pretty much all dual stage boost controllers, even the new turbotech dual stage one, which isn't really a dual stage boost controller, it is just a boost controller that allows you to run the stock boost and then a higher boost. if you want your low boost setting to be higher than stock then you need a normal boost controller as well. even the stock solenoid in the r33 and r34 skylines works by bleeding air off to give you about 2 psi higher. all electronic boost controller are bleed valves as well. to a small extent the standard turbotech boost controllers have a bleed valve aspect to them as well, because once the boost pressure pushes that ball and allows air to get past it and go to the wastegate, there will be some air bleeding out of the small hole drilled in the side of it.

and yes, your dual stage should just get hooked up like the normal boost controller in the line from intercooler to wastegate.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
