Hi guys how are we all?

I have a blitz sbc type s (single solenoid with the dinky lil finger conntroller)

I cannot get it to behave itself for love nor money.

Im not after mega figures just a stable 10 psi ish.

It is installed correcly as far as i know (e.g it works) my solenoid is tapped in as close to the turbo as pos maybe 6" of hose on both pieces solenoid attached to wheel arch with dampening washers so im not living with zebedee. The controller itself tho takes its feed from the plenum but does share the line with the boost gauge and turbo time. I have full vacuum.

Now then im currently playing with 2 setups. My low is currently set 35, gain 5, p gain 0 which i know isnt great i get around 9.5 psi of boost but it does drop off a bit.

My high setup is something like set 30, gain 20, p gain 15. That is a bit off its head in 4th and 5th it gets 9.7 and kindo holds but in lower gears im getting spikes up to 11.1 which obviosly sets my warn and back off (20) off and never hits high boost correctly.

Im basically fairly sure my engrish manual is.......weeeelllllll vague.

If i follow the manual i set my boost (35) then adjust gain to allow the turbo to spool and thats it overboost as soon as i put 5 in.

I cannot find anybody else's settings for love or money, or even if im doing it right. Its all just sooooooooo vague!!

Am i to expect a certain amount of overboost?

Any help/example settings gratefully recieved!

For you 0.7 bar setting increase the phone gain so it's the same as your gain.

As a starting point always have your p gain the same as your gain. If boost drops off heaps up top, increase your p gain.

Think of it this way.

SET = how much possible boost the controller will allow

GAIN = how fast it comes on

P GAIN = Post Gain

I prefer to supply the boost from the compressor housing rather then the plenum.

That's not the way I was reading how he set it up. My understanding of what he said was.....

Boost source = close to turbo.

Controller boost signal (ie that used for displaying boost on the controller) is sourced from plenum.

Which is correct.

If my understanding is faulty, then, yes I agree with Kiwi.

I read the same as GTSdoseboy

Actuator pressure source = turbo

EBC display reading = plenum

sounds correct, settings need tweaking.

I like the older controller.. none of this P GAIN crap lol

wow thanks guys! i so should have joined earlier! im a UK chap and if im honest i rate you aussies as the best guys for skylines. Great products, great advice and mostly hilarious how to videos on youtube!

i've been lurking in the background stealing your info for a while.

yep you have read it correct that is how i have it setup and its nice to know im all good there.

that p-gain advice is great, nowhere does it mention this in the Engrish translation manual. it also confirms why when i had my gain at 0 and p-gain at 0 whilst not an ideal setup, behaved well.

its also nice to know i havent gone off the reservation with my settings, you would think you were asking about someones mothers vagine in the uk the amount of responses you get on this subject.

thanks again guys, and (sadly for you) as a result you will hear a lot more from me :)

i have a set of Gen7 celica seats i am going to do a fitting guide for at some point to give a little back. Cheers guys!

OOPs reading too fast (or brain too slow)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
