DIY: Boost Controll

Many of you may have been fooled into buying bleed valves, in some cases even expensive electronic items. All i can do is frown at this behaviour. You have all you need to make your own at your local hardware store! What your going to need for this exercise is a piece of vacumm hose, prefferably long enough to reach from your actuator to near your pod or airbox and a screw (pictured below) and a screw driver (philips head)

After obtaining these items you need to decide one of two things. Just how much boost do you wish to run and whether or not you want to be able to adjust it.

OPTION 1) Run the vacumm hose off your actuator with no screw in the end. This method is very effective performance wise, however it MAY lead to destuction of things such as your turbo. Not to worry fuel cut will save you. This method shows how truly hardened you are and indicates just how much boost your stock turbo can handle before literally throwing chunks of the exhaust wheel out your exhaust. Some may view this method as a little extreme even though it has proven promising on certain cars . Not to worry option 2 is for these people.

OPTION 2) This option is for the light hearted. You take your vaccum hose and bring it all the way to near the pod. You then use your screw and screwdriver to implant the screw in the hose. (seen below) The further you screw it in the less boost you will run. To get maximum performance we suggest road tuning, to optimise the boost level.

lol yea, as josh said we did it to his car and it held boost suprisingly well. And his Apexi boost controller was crap and didnt work, who wants to go around on 7psi, something had to be done and this was it. Dodgy? yes. dangerous? probably. Did it work? You bet ya...:(

interesting.

just let me know how long your engine holds up and i'll consider doing this to my car.

though i suppose it sure beats spending hundreds of $$$ on electronics that don't want to work.

I have now sold the car; I had this dodgy item on the car for around 6 months with no signs or ware and or damage.

As it was only holding 12psi.. There should be any difference between that, and 12psi on a real controller.

I had a compression check down before the new owner got the car, and all was fine. The turbo was in ok condition for a car with 140,000kay.

      BNR34 identify this connector please

      By bigboss59400 · Posted

      that is correct to be more precise, this sensor goes to a loom which contains only the flat blade single terminal (to connected to this sensor) and then the connector shown in my first post. This loom is tied up to one of engine hairness

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      By Victory · Posted

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
