Hello

I am installing a HKS EVC VI into my R32 GTS-T car.

Everything is just about hooked up.

The boost controller has the option of having the throttle control and rpm settings work with the boost control settings.

This envoles splicing into the computer harness.

Is it worth having the throttle control and rpm settings to be able to work with the boost controller setting?

Do you want it set that way?

The fact you are asking to me means you don't need it

Doesn't the throttle control boost anyway?

It allows you to set the boost setting based on what the throttle position is.

Does this give better performance vs just setting the boost level?

You also don't have a measurable TPS that you could use on an R32. The ECU's TPS on an R32 is only closed and open switch - not variable resistance to show opening %. There is a second TPS on auto R32s for the TCU. On manuals it is not wired to anything.

You could monitor the revs easily enough. There is a tacho output from the ECU which is easy enough to tap into. Setting up rev dependent boost levels is a bit of a pain in the arse though. The only useful reason you'd do it is if you were also monitoring vehicle speed and using it to give gear dependent boost (ie lower boost in 1st).

ok

TPS is Throttle Position Switch?

So not worth connecting those wires than?

TPS is either Throttle Position Switch (in an R32) or Throttle Position Sensor (in cars that have a variable resistance output, like R33 onwards, and many other cars).

If you have the unused auto TPS(ensor) on your car, you could hook it up, but you'd probably need to get 5V to it because I don't think they're powered up on the manuals at all, and it all starts to sound like a pain in the arse and I just wouldn't bother.

Thanks

Can anyone offer some boost settings suggestions please? I know max I can boost the stock turbo is 14psi, so how should I set it up? If I leave the boost controller in basic mode I can set low and high boost.

The car is a daily driver and I drive through traffic lots coming and going to work. I use the highways on the weekends. But I want to be quick on the street and on the highway.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
