If you are getting boost spikes with no boost controller it wont help, it is your gate setup that is causing it, boost controllers can only make the boost come on faster and higher, cant lower it or make it slower.

What are you currently using for boost control and what is your turbo setup?

Get rid of the bleed valve and get an EBC, eboost street are around $400 and very good, as good as any of the other brand name ones for $600+

You could also try reducing the line size on the bleed valve, the mechanical ones often spike if they have more than 10cm of line on them, when I first got my first turbo car it had almost a metre of line, spiked to 16psi then dropped to 10 on the lowest setting with a turbo smart one, cut the lines right back and it got a lot better but still spiked.

EBC is the only way to go, a stock GTR controller should let you run 10psi quite easily and this is all you want to run max anyway if you dont have supporting mods, if you do then EBC it up.

hey sorry to take your thread but does any one know about an ebc that will have a high/low boost button.

ie. press the button remote mounted and your car goes to 20 psi until button if pressed again, then boost goes to 12psi.

not the turn and push because to have the car leagel in qld you cant have a in cabin ebc. may get around the boost controler in cabin senario by putting the controler in the bay or deep inside the dash and just hiding the solenoid. yeah sorry about the hijack but this may be used in future by me.

As Nismoid said get a turbotech boost controller so many people have used them with 0 issues (me included) they even do an electronic kit now for like $80. It's all on ebay not sure how their electronic kit works but if it's anything like the MBC it will be very good

pretty much all have different boost settings where you can just press a button, just cut the ass out of your ashtray and mount it in there, easy access and no one will ever see it, thats what I did

Benefit of Dual over single solenoid ?

Dual's tend to hold boost more reliably and tend to reduce any boost spikes caused by the EBC itself.

As they are Dual Solenoid they can meter/read from two sources therefore have a more reliable reading.

Turbosmart eboosts can have a remote mounted switch wired to earth that changes between boost groups.

Get a decent ebc man, your standard nismo turbos are good for 20psi mine are anyway. Im making 300kw on 18psi. Get the ebc and a PFC and send me a PM. I can get you good dyne time at a good price

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
