Hey all,

Just installed a Turbo smart dual stage boost controller to mah baby...

Having some troubles...

Minimum boost i can set to is like heaps more than my stock boost.

And if i wind her up a touch, it cuts out.. whcih means ill need a fuel cut defender.

but curious y i cant set it any lower?

Anyone had this prob before...

Also wont switch between hig and low boost.?

did i just **** up, or just **** up... Its pretty simple stuff, but somethings gone wrong? :S

I can't help Stirlo - but did something silly myself yesterday along this line. Played with my HKS EVC III boost controller without knowing what I was doing. I did **** it up. Havent been able to find help to fix it. :(

I think we need a Local Guru who's willing to post free advice in our Forums

SkyGTRline, did you remove the factory restrictor? just near where you would have installed the aftermarket controller, there should be a stock "controller/limiter" in the hose, have a search on the forums for exact details of how to remove it if necessary

By the way, I mounted my evc on the steering column, used a 'Verbatim' lid off a box of 1.44 floppies [right size, suitably shaped] and used wurths urethane [black sticky sh1t] to hold it down. Painted it all with holts satin black double sided tape [on before the paint] and it looks like a factory job.

Photo coming.

I'd like a high/low button on the steering wheel, but I'll get to that [along with the maxima cruise control------dreams I]. Just in case it's useful to anyone...........

Thanx all, yea might have to take it to da pros...

The factory solenoid or whatever it is has been removed by the previous owner... and there is Siliocn hose runing across... which prob means there has been something in ther before.

Ill give trojan a go..

And BTW do i look like stirlo??? coz i dont think i look like stirlo.... so i think that means im not stirlo... :(

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
