Woohooo.... well finally got around to having my bleed valve setup swapped for a turbosmart e-boost controller. All I can say is this thing rocks and BD4s did a great install job, I also changed my faulty ignition coils and the car now revs like a demon.

Main difference I have noticed is how fast it builds boost now and I haven't experienced any spiking or boost pressure loss at higher rpms.

I also swapped my crappy simota pod for a HKS superflow for better airflow.

oh nice...like someone said before hide it somewhere where its not too visible to thieves..since its electronic it shouldnt spike (if setup properly) there isnt too much need to view the screen so much as using a bleed valve. Looks shmick, good that your happy with the preformance :)

Hi Guys.....Yeah I know that it is pretty vulnerable to thieves on the a-pillar....this car isn't my daily driver so it's not that big a deal, but i was thinking of just putting a black sock over it if i'm in a bit of a dodgy area.

I used to get spikes up to 14.5 psi with the bleed valve (boost set to 12psi), but with the eboost I don't get any spiking and yes it is much faster and smoother delivery.

The unit is larger than your average boost guage and would need a large pillar mount to fit...not too fussed about this though.

The unit cost $749 inc gst and was about 2 hours labour to fit (about $150)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
