Hey,

I decided to hook up the ebc after a long time(was using link boost control instead).

Setting 1 set to 10 psi - DC - 20, Gain - 0

Setting 2 set to 17 psi - DC - 55, Gain - 0

Spike protection set to 0 - Running in closed loop. Not using Overboost etc or any other features that I know of.

Problem - High boost will drop to 10psi or so in higher gears. Eg, Take off in 1st - 17psi.. 2nd, 3rd on wards I only see 10~psi.

What am I doing wrong? btw, not a factory turbo and setup.

I'll go for another drive today to confirm the above, but from my drive the other day that's what I noticed.

Most ebc if u turn the gain up it helps to hold the boost from dropping off. But if urs is not reaching the desired boost in higher gears then i would try running open loop so it uses duty cycle only.

Why dont u like the link boost control?

Hmm.. havent tried open loop. Guess I could try that out, thanks! :)

Gain definitely needs to be turned up.

Hmm, I did have gain up as well. I will go for a drive and test upping the gain to around the same as DC. If that doesnt work, I'll try open loop mode.

What a weird issue eh?

Thanks for the help so far guys.

No, not a stock turbo. Using a 10psi R32 actuator.

Issue seems to be resolved. I tried open loop - no go.

Increased the Gain to 35. Will fine tune it later on, but it seems to be okay and holds 15psi through 1,2,3rd(Couldnt go higher as traction/public roads). Have my DC set to 55. Car is tuned to 1.1 bar, but thought Id set it to 15psi instead of 17.

With high boost I need to upshift very quickly as it gets to the limiter in a hurry, lol.

the basics are that the duty controls how much boost % you have and gain controls how quickly it will get there, turn the gain up too high and you will over boost, just have to play with it to get the perfect combination.

On your original settings it would have taken ages to get full boost, should be heaps better now that you have increased the gain, the way i did mine was to keep turning the gain up till it started to over boost then turn it down a little.

One way to fix the traction issue is using the button you got with it (if you have the same unit as mine), you can use it as an overboost button or you can use it to cycle through the presets.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
