Hey guys need help setting up my boost controller. I can seem to get it to run anymore then 0.4 bar of boost. Have a gt3076 with 38mm external gate.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What settings should I be on?

Here are the instructions on how to install it to an internal gate and an external gate. Makes a world of difference when its wired up properly :)

I have the newer one to that it's the digital one and it's silver.

Yeh I have it plumbed right it's just the settings I just can't understand them.

SET is how much boost you want

GAIN simply put it, too much and boost will spike too little and it's lazy

Newer Profecs also have the Start boost, which works similar to the GAIN

if nothing is happening, you've plumbed it wrong

Oh ok well when I turn the controller off it goes unlimited boost. When on it runs .40 bar. I'm surprised that there is a .40 bar spring lol who wants to run. Like 6psi wtf

Sounds like you've plumbed it wrong already

When it's off it should only be gate pressure

Sounds like you have the NC and NO mixed up, try swapping the fitting into the other hole if it has one.

You have an external gate, why don't you just swap in a heavier spring? No need for an electronic controller really...

yes and no, the gate cracks open a touch before it reaches its defined gate pressure (if you want to call it that) running an EBC and utilising both top and bottom ports can keep the gate closed a little longer giving you a flatter boost response, instead of gentle ramp

I tend to like to let it spike a little and then the boost to settle, but that's just me :)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
