hey guys

in the turbosmart manual for the manual boost tee it says (To increase boost turn the Boost Dial clockwise (maximum of 11 clicks or one turn at a time)) does anyone know wat each click means for eg 1 click is how many psi etc....mine was set by Advan in Silverwater and its over boosting ( today it stopped in the middle of the road so i have to restart the engine...) so i wanna lower it but not sure how low and i dont wanna drive it without knowing ...any help would b great.....

Thanx guys :rofl:

The number of turns per psi is different for each bleed vavle and its not linear for any particular bleed valve (ie. it might take 10 complete turns to raise the boost 2psi, then only another 2 turns for another 1 psi). Get yourself a boost gauge to be sure.

wen i press the memory button (which i think is used for storing the highest boost level it reached) it shows the red line ....but wen i drive the needle reaches the green line .6 bar ...so wat does the memory button do?....so i dont understand y im having ova boost problems at .6 bar wen advan said it will b safe at .7 bar (stock intercooler)..so i might as well just stick with stock boost levels if i have to put it down to .5 bar ... Advan didnt use a dyno to set the boost level as it says in the instructions to do so...so mayb if i set it on a dyno may solve y its dieing out on me so low...im really confused :headspin:

cheers

I had a lot of trouble with a turbosmart bleed valve in my series 2 33 (spiking, overboosting etc), so I took it out and put in an ebc. definately worth the money.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
