Gday!

I've got a Greddy Profec B Spec II boost controller on the way (with english manual and all the gear to install it) and i have a couple of questions hopefully a few technically minded ppl can help me out with. For everyones info i have an RB20DET powered R32 gtst with the following mods:

- cat back 3" exhaust

- pod type air filter

- apexi power fc

- bleed valve type boost controller (boost now up to 11 - 12psi)

My questions:

1 - I generally know my way round a car but are these things difficult to install?

2 - Would it be advisable to have these fitted by a pro? If so, I'm in Chatswood, Sydney - anywhere someone can recommend?

3 - Is this model fully electronic ie can it limit boost to certain point and prevent boost spikes?

Thanks to anyone who replies...Cheers :mad:

1 - not really . plum the solonoid in where your old boost cotroller was and then run a vacum line hose from the manifold . There is a article in the DIY section on installing a boost guage on a r32 , same principal applies for that . then run your hose and cable for the solinoid back into the cabin and mount the controller

2 - its up to you . if you feel confident give it a go , if not its probably about $100 to get it installed . those profecs are pretty strait forward

3 - yes fully electronic , it will be more stable than your bleed

Installation should be straightforward but apparently Profec B II is fairly hard to set up. Probably best to leave it to the pro.

Saying that, I just bought Profec S that is like the old Profec B, brought back due to popular demand, just with an improved solenoid. It's much easier to set it up but it doesn't have the fancy screen.

yeah figured there'd be a few steps in the install which'd be beyond me...can these be done by any auto electrician or are dedicated performance tuners the way to go?

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
