look man i didnt invent the thing....to my understanding this is one of the functions of the gass.... i've gone alot faster with it compared to other controllers full stop. you want to try one out, cool come down,  

you want to bag it out come up with something better yourself, and then prove its better else...

u r just repeating the bs the guy that sold it to you told you aint u??

god, i cant beleive how much of a joke this thread is becoming. Its more about who knows what instead of what this thing really does.

Why dont we start a pole/vote,

IE weather this product 'floats' or 'sinks'

Just on the compressed gas note,

ahhh how much could it possibly hold? 100ml of compressed air?

how long would this last? like a week?

now who would want to 'refill' there bleed valve every week.

This thing is starting to show more and more holes the more we disect it.

Why dont u do us a favour MX, find someone in your area on SAU, go put the bleed vavle on their car, set to the same boost as they were previously running, and get them to post a report.

infact, why dont u post some pics of this thing, where it holds the compressed gas etc etc

untill then :kick:

but you have NEVER seen it in action howcan you say it is not worth it?? what if you put it in and your car picks up .5 of a sec down the 1/4??? i know heaps of ppl that have spent alot more than that to make up simular resaults....

as i said ppl with ANY controller come try it out and compare

I hope people who do this dont automaticaly think its better, when it might have been a case where thier original boost controller might not have been set up correctly. Just because the new system might have made the car quicker, doesnt mean its a better system, just might have shown up a problem in the setup of their original controller.

howz about i get back to everyone with some more info...  ? ? ? sewid your in syd ???  i'll get another controller down here and you come try it out....what are you using ATM

I currently have the Apexi boost control kit connected to the Apexi PowerFC.

I admire your offer and you seem to stand by your device so I will wait until your more detailed information arrives before i would take you up on anything.

Currently i dont run anything more than 9psi anyway due to summer (i know its not now but yesterday was 39!!) and it being my daily driver.

So for now im laying off in this thread.

you don't even need the times down the quater you can feel the difference ...

you dont have to call it better you can call it different...

but it definantly feels great the boost rushes up real fast (feels mad with my twin turbos) the acuracy is just freaky but now im repeating my self :)

Dluded,

Boost coming on hard has got to do with quite a few different things.

1. being the correct fueling

2. being the correct timing for the boost

3. being good fuel

4. cold night

5. being a good boost controller

On a cold night in second gear with new 225's on the rear boost comes on hard enough for it to break traction in second for a little while then power off down the road. If the road is a little lumpy or off camber it will spin up the rears sending the car sideways.

Its a lot of money to spend on a pneumatic boost controller for little gain.

Also his car will be making a lot more power than yours providing you are still with the stocker turbo.

i just went in mx83toys car 2nite and after being in the passengre seat im definately goin to get one of these things when my r32 arrives. seriously ive never felt boost come on so hard.  

just my 2 cents (everyone at toymods.com has only good things to say)

seat of the panths feeling is not factual proof!!!!

good luck to you if u want to fork out $300 for a bleed valve

Its a little more then a bleed valve people pay ~200 for turbo smart dual stage type setups, and they are worse then just crimping the wastegate line. Instant now all your arguement has come down to is the price, not the actual ability of the boost controller to hold boost, if you wanna talk about wastes of money how much did the 'eyelids' on your car cost?

Its always been about the price.

What made the price look even worse is the bloke who is selling these things sounds like a n00b or a con artist with his stupid lines.

Hence:

In fact i had to fit an LSD to overcome the BIG increase in acceleration

HAHAHAHAH

That was just one of the bullshit things he wrote.

Sounds like a really bad used car salesman.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
