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.

    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
