If you have time to glance at the boost gauge while driving the car hard it means your not running enough boost!

I'm biased towards my Apexi AVCR because they are so easy to setup and get consistant and stable boost control with. I find the display, and recall peak are all I need and combined with a power fc and datalogit you don't need anything else.

Ive heard the Blitz controllers are comparable but have never used one.

i havnt used delfi in the pass, but when i looked into it the cost of 1 single boost gauge with control boxes etc was way to expensive.

brought a Eboost 2 for $645 it does both boost gauge & controller.

honestly 80dollar mechanical gauge and a 40dollar bleed off valve to control boost under 15psi is the most reliable without a doubt.

thats true but you cant do anything fancy with that so wheres the fun ?

handle more boost more stable..

I've read somewhere (don't quote me) but single solenoids are great for about 1.3bar and the dual solenoids are for anything higher than that. Not saying you couldn't use a dual solenoid for lower boost.

I got a mate using a Blitz Dual Solenoid on his S15, holds boost very well and considering it can be had off eBay used for about $350 delivered, it's quite good value!

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
