Hey ppls,

I going to make up for myself this weekend an Autospeed DIY Boost Control Kit which controls boost level and wastegate creep via two knobs.

I recieve very good prices from Pneumatics suppliers due to the industry I work in, so I'm wondering if anybody wants me to make them up a kit while I'm at it....

I wil figure out prices once I have price from my suppliers, and let you know, but right now I'm just feeling the water as to whether anybody would like one.

It will be on an aluminium bracket, with all parts required for simply plugging into your car, you may just have to extend some boost pressure lines, depending on where you mount the system.

You can read all about the system here http://autospeed.com/cms/A_0670/article.html

and it will have the extra valve from the second article also.

So, any takers?

Okay, I've got prices back, and it looks like it going to be about $150 complete as you see it in the picture.

The little check valve is an expensive little sucker.

Kit will come complete and ready to bolt up.

You will only need to cut the hose and hook it up.

Please advise if you are interested so I can order parts.

I will have photos of my set-up after the weekend.

Little side note.

I'm not making much is any money out of this.

I just figure that if I'm making one for myself, and I know another couple of people who want them, then I can help out.

Bass Junky,

I may be informed incorrectly, but this device is simply a bleed valve?

Im just trying to get my head aroudn what exactly it does, and how it works?

I found the article to not supply the information I was after.

Thanks,

Essential.

Okay,

The second valve is basically a bleed valve, but the first one is a valve which doesn't let the second one see any boost until a set pressure.

A 10 psi wastegate spring will be half open at 5 psi. If you stop the wastegate seeing any pressure until a set rate, you bring boost on much faster.

that's what this set up does.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
