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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
