Hey guys.

just bought a Manual Boost controller of ebay for $30 bucks.

came with the t-piece and the controller itself.

I followed the instructions provided and ended up like this ( look at pics )

Does that look correct.

NOTE : with the T-piece's Arrow it says face toward actuator but in the little box i got it with said carefully note face t-piece away from actuator not towards as stated.

But the thing is when I listen to those instructions the car isnt boosting. but when i flick the t-piece the otherway which is what i shouldnt do it seems to work. It is silly and confusing

look at the pictures and let me know if ive done it correctly. The first one is before i touched it second one is after i attempted to install the BC.

comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

cheers

the 1st pic, just cut the line and use the bleed valve between it. Keep the intake hose blocked as the 1st picture.

I suggest selling it and buying a ball bearing valve. Those bleed type controllers are not efficient at controling boost and often you'll get huge spikes.

would you have a pic (example) that i could look at before i do so ? I dont know much about turbos and such as this is my first Forced induction vehicle ive owned cheers

EDIT : Is this what you meant John ?

looks dodgy but sounds like they are saying what is written on the T is wrong and the Arrow should face the boost source instead.

Personally I would either get one of those $20 boost controllers, someone should know what I'm on about

Or fork out for a decent electronic boost controller if you are going to be chasing more power later on down the track.

Looking at your first set of photos, it looks like you have a in cabin adjustable boost controller perhaps? Just from the looks of it, looks like the in cabin ones, but I dunno

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
