Hi Guys,

I have a Blitz Dual SBC in my car to control my boost, rather than using the aftermarket computer as it provides better stability. I have the boost limit set to 1.1 bar, and if the car attempts to go over this it flashes red and beeps at you. Does anyone know what it does at this stage, does it close the solenoid and reduce your boost or is it just a warning. The main reason I want to know is that if I go to the drags then I want to make sure that I am running max boost without it dropping out.

If anyone can make sense of what I said and have an answer then it will be apreciated.

See'ya:burnout:

Limits boost , as per the setting. If you want to run more you can set a higher boost on the 'scramble' setting, press a button and off you go.

You are running the stock turbo right? If so 1.1 bar is going to destroy it and maybe other things sooner or later.

Hi Rev210,

It only peak to this value occasionally due to the NVCS, it causes boost to rise as it revs harder. If I destroy the factory turbo then I'll just put in the GT30 earlier. Most of the time I drive with 0.5bar setting, cause its still pretty quick at this setting.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

You wouldn't want to destroy your engine too? Bits of turbo can get into the intercooler or even the motor.

Wouldn't the ceramic bits have a hard time getting through the cooler, the tubes aren't particularly big, but I can appreciate what you getting at.

I was just wondering though whether a stock turbo would be working just as hard to produce .7bar on a factory car as it would producing 1 bar on a car with FMIC, 3" intercooler pipes, larger plenum etc. Surely the reduction in pressure drop caused by the factory items would mean that the turbo wouldn't need to work as hard to produce boost. What are your thoughts?

Yes the stock turbo works harder on stock ic/plenum at 'high' boost, but at lower boost there isn't much difference (ie: it can flow enough air). High boost is dangerous even with a nice front mount just ask macka. It also seems to let go at the drags just for that special added embarassment.:)

I'm sure I can embarass myself at the drags without any help from my car. Alright I will only run on my 3/4 setting, slightly more conservative. Apparently with the RB25DET the ring lands on the pistons are particularly weak and running high boost will only make the situation worse, I am putting forged pistons in soon, before the new turbo. The forged pistons will drop the compression to 8.5:1, I was told not to go for a metal headgasket to do this as they leak, and to stick to the factory gasket.

Hi Adam32,

I get my stuff really cheap, if you want something then let me know and I'll get you a good price. My forged pistons, brand new, are only costing $1400, rather than $2800 for GREX pistons.

I can also get cheap clutches (twins etc), coilover suspension, intercoolers, radiators and much more.

Plus I can probably get you some of the Macka special racing slicks, helps you pull 12's in a 13 second car.

I won't give you money but I can probably save you a heap.

Adam 33,

I have a couple mates who are importers, and one who does complying and builds race cars. The FMIC are going to be custom jobs which are bigger than GTR intercoolers and 75mm thick, I'll find out a price and hopefully take some photos.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
