Manual Boost Controller = Boost Tee = Bleed Valve. If you're going to buy one, get the one Kris recommended: Turbotech. Cheap and very reliable.

dont like manual boost controllers....cant tell what your boosting up to until you try it out...recomend proper digital boost controllers....

That's why you start off with it in the factory setting and adjust incrementally, as opposed to just winding it up and letting loose. Will take about 5 adjustments to get it perfect. Turbotech manual boost controllers are fantastic, never had one spike on me, ever.

i bought a manual turbosmart boost controller but dont know how many psi is each click anyone have a rough idea? im guessing all the way to bottom end would be standard boost just wanting to know how many more clicks to 10psi? if anyone knows thanks.

I'm pretty sure if you run am turbo, be prepared to upgrade a lot of things otherwise your standard setup is not going to last long. Most the time its recommended getting a tune done after certain mods. It also depends what power range for a particular turbo. Increasing boost means your fuel:air ratio changes dramatically with the potential of running way too lean.

if u run a am turbo but stock other parts except exhaust from the front pipe to the tip, would 14psi hurt?

i still had stock turbo but was running 14 psi with profec 2 boost controller,exhaust,pod filter,front mount and bov and kept getting fuel cuts,pump or injectors weren't keeping up foot flat and was like speed limiter was kicking in at 70-80 k's (well mechenic told me it was fuel system anyway)

yep. you'd be leaning out and even more so with the aftermarket turbo. would require fuel pump and retune.

there's only so much equipment is designed for, fuel maps aren't designed for large turbos @ 1bar thus lack of fuel = lean.

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
