I don't think I really need a boost controller? Overkill? I will look into this a little more though in any case. I doubt taking off that little restrictor will make my car boost so much more. If I do blow the turbos... then I will just have to get new ones which don't have ceramic bits! :devil:

i can change the way boost comes on with my avcr. unsure how it works with a say a profec but with the avcr it really makes a difference. comes on much harder than just with say a bleed valve because i can control my boost solenoid.

i'd say every turbo charged car needs some sort of boost controller that is seperate to a wastegate. wether it be a bleed valve or an electronic unit - the restrictor you just pulled out is in essence a "boost controller" =)

taking that restrictor out made you go from what? 0.7bar to 1.0bar boost now???

APEXi ELII boost gauge; from XSpeed. There are 2bar and 2.5bar variants.

good place is to mount the boost gauge in the airvent on the RHS of the dash (next to the ignition). it fits gauges perfectly and the gauge will be flush with the dash, thus look like its stock(ish).

and as for the restrictor removel - great move, a good bang for your buck modification! i like the idea also of drilling out the hole to a bigger size to find the perfect boost level that you are after...

good luck with it all,

Warren.

my car has a mines chip and 3.5 inch HKS exhaust.... running 1 bar atm..... i have a R32 vspec... i am sure my turbo's are not ceramic.. can anyone confirm?

If i do have non ceramic.. then it should be cool for me to get rid of my restrictor without having to worry about them blowing.... true?

With more boost, you may need more fuel too... To do that there is a vaccum hose connected toa part of the airflow meter set up, (connects onto a little round thingy) If you take this off and block them both off you trick the car into thinking it needs more fuel all the time instead of just when your driving hard...

Also you can get a diode for your computer to make your car think it is cold all the time, So it idles higher and also provides more fuel... But I don't think you'll need to do anything like that if you have an AVCR

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
