Boost Controller


Recommended Posts

If your not remapping ecu or anything just do the high boost only mod. As for ebc's they all do the same thing just get the coolest one. But I do recommend not getting hks evc-s although still good, can be tricky to set up.

Most aftermarket ecu's come with boost control functions. So buying one may be redundant.

I have a turbosmart mbc if you were looking into winding more boost into your current car on the cheap. Pm me.

haha, using stages is like saying 'I want Coilovers'.. FFS they have coilovers from stock!

aaanywho, my interpretation of stages on a 33 is something like

stage 1 < 220rwkw

stage 2 > 220rwkw

New here

recently bought a r33 series 1 turbo

wanting a boost controller sure theres heaps of posts about this but i got about a $400 budget wat do u guys suggest

thanks

None.

Unless you have a non standard turbo and a programmable ECU, you'll keep running into rich & retarded mode.

Don't bother with the boost controller till you have the 3in exhaust FMIC bigger turbo, new ecu and by then you'll be able to get a mac valve instead.

Stage 1 mods are the things that you don't need but can afford - like pod filter, noisy BOV, aftermarket FPR.

    • Unplug ECU. Unplug TPS. Unplug boost pressure sensor. Now, all the wires, placing your ground (black) multimeter lead at the ECU end, measure resistance of the 5V line at the boost sensor plug. Then do the same to the TPS plug. Then do the same for all the other wires that relate to the TPS, or boost sensor.   All of your measurements should be very very low. You're looking to see if wiring is out of wack here.   Secondly, from memory on the R33 (not a neo motor, so I'm assuming an r34) the ground wire for the TPS and boost sensor are NOT equal to ground of the car/battery. IE, DO NOT connect ground of the sensor to the engine/body of car. You'll get a ground loop, and/or potentially screw shit up. In electronics, ground for a circuit, is not necessarily equal to ground of another circuit.   So this leads me to ask, when measuring your 5V, how are you getting 1.5V? Where are your multimeter leads touching for both the red and black lead on the multimeter?   If you're measuring power on the sensor wire, and putting ground on the car chassis or negative battery terminal, that could be all of your issues in "getting 1.5v". Electronics engineers can do some funky stuff with circuits, and when both sensors are on, it's enough laid to alter how the ECU is functioning.
    • Nissan Oz are too busy trying to decide whether we need a Qashqai or Xtrail (whatever the difference is), really not a new issue. At least we can import cars they decided not to directly, at much better value. BTW can I confirm ADM Q50 all have no spare tyre (just goop)? Is that the same in JDM skyline? I'm going to need to sort something, I can't do billions of highway klm without a spare
    • Post up the manual extract and the wiring diagram (seeing as we've got no idea what type of car we're talking about here) to help with decision making. (Also, I'm nowhere near home and my wiring diagrams and manuals). I wouldn't suggest you do what you mentioned above on such a vague description, for a start! Depends on whether the power is from the ECU or the ground is at the ECU.
    • Hi all quick update, so i checked the wiring circuit on TPS / Boost sensor, everything checks out fine. So at this point im really leaning towards 2nd fried boost sensor due to bad ecu maybe? Is there a way or value to check for when ohm testing the boost sensor? Also is there a way to bypass the boost sensor? Thankyou
    • Many thanks for your responses, guys.
