Hey,

I'm new to the import scene, and have recently purchased a 32 w/rb25det as a daily (wanting to keep it legal and just as a daily, not chasing massive hp.).

The car came with a Blitz boost Controller, but it was not 'plumbed in' (previous owners words).

I have managed to read the manual online, and get it displaying boost pressures, but I have a strange feeling that I've either; misinterpreted the instructions and hooked it up incorrectly, or I have hooked it up correctly and set the unit incorrectly.

I have intentionally set the limit low -12psi- (so as to avoid damage to my engine or turbo), but I don't think it's good for the car to do what it's doing now.

The big problem I'm having is that, when I accelerate hard, the car backfires and sputters and seems to cut boost.

It is reading that I am getting up to 18.9psi, and I'm assuming that it's not actually running that pressure.

My two main questions are:

What boost pressure does a standard rb25det run at (and what is safe for it to run to on standard everything-ecu, internals and turbo etc)?

And, could anybody recommend a tuner/ mechanic who could tune up my car/ program my blitz boost controller properly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks, That Nick Guy (SAU Noob.)

Stock runs 5psi then up higher in the rpm runs 7psi through the stock bleeder setup.

Run 10psi if you can, anymore you'll go no where unless you get an aftermarket ecu or socket/chip your stock one.

Set it up yourself, no need to pay someone for something so simple.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
