Boost Controllers

[ben3322]

need an electronic boost controller to stop boost spikes but i dont have much cash at the moment.

been looking on ebay and just wondering if anyone has tried these ones and what they thought???

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?

Woah... no!

You get what you pay for with anything in this game...

Save up for a genuine brand one (Greddy, HKS, Apex'i) and until then, just lift the right foot a little

you should not be getting spikes on a stockish GTR.

if you are, there are other issues.

[ben3322]

its just got a shitty turbosmart bleed valve. just running the stock N1 turbos.

fingers cross its just the bleed valve causing it. i really dont wanna go chasing problems.

starting to wish i kept the V8!!!

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.

[R31Nismoid]

of course its the bleed valve, the turbosmart ones are very well known for it.

just get a turbotech one if you want a cheap solution.

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

[Jay11]

+1 for the TurboTech boost controller.

Running it on my 34 and it doesn't spike at all.

Cost me a whole $30...

Benefit of Dual over single solenoid ?

[ZED X]

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.

[Deano 1]

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

gizzmo ebc allows a remote button to switch profiles or overboost for x no. of seconds

none?

thanks will keep that in mind

[sleeperdatto]

i cant find any thing on a turbotech ebc except ebay so i think some thing else like in my previous post will be for me

[Harey]

At least try a turbotech bleed valve, they are excellent and cost around $30! Dont worry about the multiple boost settings etc, just get it right and leave it.
