Noob question but thought I'd double check..I got my greddy profec b spec 2 controller installed and tuned to 12 low and 14 psi high I removed it and am thinking of getting it installed in my Gtr, can it be put straight in with out needing it retuned

OP, what car did it come out of?

It all depends on actuator pressure as the boost controller is a % increase.. i.e. 50% on an RB25 actuator is not the same as 50% on an RB20 actuator

And as said above, I would reset the gain and setgain and tweak them from scratch to suit the setup in the new car.

Start from scratch. Its a pain in the arse to get right too. You need alot of road, alot of patience and alot of trial and error. Its a % over the current actuator setup and as said above, different tensions on different actuators will mean different things when you open your boost controller to 50%. Ive got mine on 0% low boost(14psi) and I think about 40 or 50% high boost for 20psi. Then you got gain, to make sure your boost is nice and consistent. You've also got your warning crap. Set this shit up wrong and you will be ON AND OFF BOOST, you can feel it and hear it loosing then building boost then hitting the limiter, losing boost and then building it up again.

You have set, which is your boost, then you have gain(set gain?) which controls boost falloff. Then you have start boost which is your desired boost -1psi, your warning which is your boost limit, +1psi of target boost(maybe even 2 - 3psi) then you have warning which is how much boost you would like to drop usually about 5 - 10% lower than your set. I had my boost controller, profec b spec 2, setup by CRD and they suggested the warning should be set to 0% all the time. It was perfect on my car. Anything more gave me the symptom I described above(on off)

Best to do it on a dyno where you can graph boost vs rpm so you can safely play with it without crashing your car into a tree or popping your motor because you weren't paying attention to both at once.

Also means you can get the boost curve nice and flat.

      Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).

      Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.

      Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...

      I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
