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... :(

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
