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... :(

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
