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.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
