Hi, I have just installed the above boost controller.

It workes fine in 'OFF' mode (Standard boost) and i can get throught the whole rev range of the car but as soon as i choose a aftermarket setting and hit anything above atmospheric pressure, the car coughs, the hicas light flashes and it feels like it dies. Switch it back to 'OFF' and it boosts no problem.

The boost is set using a range of 0 - 100. when i set it to 0. I can boost with no problems (as 0 is standard) but once you go up a touch, like to say 5, it doesnt like it.

(For the pressure signal to the controller, I tapped into the line that goes from the fuel press reg to the manifold.)

Any suggestions?

My thoughts exactly. either wa iy i tried it 't'd where the standard gauge is connected to the manifold, and i get the same result. still dont understand why it wont boost past standard. additionally when i boost in off mode the standard gauge shows 6ish psi but the ebc shows .72 which would be closer to 10 psi???

where are you getting your power and earth from? I ask because hicas gives no shit about about a lot of things, boost pressure being one of them. However, if you're spliced into an earth trigger with a solenoid stuttering away giving an odd ball signal to the ecu......

Have you completely removed the factory boost control and blocked off any loose hoses?

The line between the FPR and the manifold is fine to use but the reason you DO NOT use it is because if that line pops off, or somehow you develop a leak to your boost sensor or something goes wrong with the boost sensor, you will loose pressure on your fuel rail and the engine will run lean and detonate.

There are many places. The best place is between the actuator and the hot pipe. From the manifold, you have the delay of pressure from the turbo to the throttle to the manifold. Between the actuator and the hotpipe is best because this is the pressure closest to the turbo so your boost controller can read the boost and control it as necessary. It might practically do jack shit but in my mind it feels like the closest point so to help prevent boost spike, get the source close and respond quick.

Spends alot of money on boost controller. Spend $0 on engine management. You may need to rethink priorities. Anything above 10psi the stock ECU will just go into R&R "Rich and Retard"

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
