hey everyone, just before i sell the car i want to install a boost controller, for a month or so just so i can have a taste of boost before i start driving a slow as hell POS for the next few years *violin starts playing in the background* :boohoo:

the one im getting is a GReddy item, its a very simple setup but it will do the simple job i need for the next few weeks, although i want a EBC its simply not smart to get one when im not even going to be gettng an FMIC etc and selling the car anyway, i have talked to the current owner of the unit (not installed) and it should not spike anymore than 1pound.

although i want an FMIC for safety reasons, again its not possible and i will only run 12pound and the unit will be turned down to stock boost during the day.

may seem like a waste to some but i simply need to feel boost before it goes, so to get back to my original question can anyone help me install it? it should be relatively simple i think, but i just havnt done it before and dont wish to do it myself, and im not paying to take it to a garage as the unit was cheap enough anyway i dont ant to fork out more money i dont have to have it put in.

so if you can help please let me know and i'll owe you a 6pack :inlove:

also the car IS for sale now so if anyone wants any info just PM me for pics or anything else you would like to know.

thanks once again guys

Andrew.

I've installed one on my old R33, and my stagea has one also. all you need to do is remove the stock boost controller from the system, disconnect the wire and then plug the 2 boost lines that come out of it into each end of the boost controller, making sure it's pointing in the right direction. most simple job i've ever done.

if you don't know where your boost controller is, it's attached to the passenger sige in front of the wheel well, a little black plastic cylinder

update, to give more info, as i havnt got it yet im not sure if its a blitz or a GReddy unit, but its one of the 2, it a phneumatic(sp) boost controller and i think it can be cabin mounted.

Terminal: you obviolusly havnt seen me around the mechanic side of a car, if i successfully install it without setting off a nuclear explosion not dissimilar to to the french testings in the pacific, i will be greatly surprised, the australian government is currently trying to pass a new law banning me from going anywhere near an engine bay of a car......

Haha, sorry dude, i wasn't aware. i'm not the most mechanical guy kicking around, but i just finished my engineering degree, so i have a modest amount of knowledge.

How come you're selling? i miss my skyline, but i got a good replacement

going into property and investing, so the car has to go to get money for a deposit for my 1st property. its going to break my heart to see her go but in years to come i'll be able to afford much much nicer cars (hopefully) but in the mean time i have to be a tightass and hoard my money lol.

Veilsides been to a money making seminar...............................run by some rich septic tank or motivator I'd guess.

[it's all a guess].

Good luck with it all.

Couldn't do it myself, too much fun to be had all my life to sacrifice any of it. Anyway, I took the easy option, I got a good paying steady job that I like = Hydrography [don't ask, look it up].

dunno Andrew, i'll have to ask, thanks though i'll let you know ASAP.

bahaha trident, no i havnt been to any anthony robins seminars, i have been thinking about it for quite some time now but after talking with another local forum member ive made my mind up, so i guess you could say if i fail, it will all be his fault!!! bahaha!

but in all serious i have spoken with several people who are experienced in real estate, investing, you name it, if they can help give advice in anyway ive been speaking with them, last thing i would do with a descision this big is not think about it. meh anyway, will hopefully have the controller by the end of next week.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
