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 to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
