yeah apparently they are quite popular with 300zx guys for a long time... they apparently call them boost jets (as told to me by my 300zx owning friend after i told him i got it!)

you sure?

i thought boost jets where when they put little metal restrictors in the hose with a specific diameter...

Just a note on patents, they cost a LOT to register, and even more to defend. Something tells me neither margins nor volumes involved here would make it worthwhile. :cheers:

Ordered mine.

I'll let you know how it goes in direct replacement of my GFB unit running 16psi.

The GFB for me is holding fine, but it spikes 1psi which sucks teh cok.

Let me know how you go. I've got a GFB @ 14 psi and it's holding great till redline. I do however get a 1 psi spike.

I'd be very interested to know if this one brings boost quicker. :rofl:

OK, so I fitted mine today and the boost went straight over 10lbs on lowest setting..

I put mine where the t peice is that leads off to the solenoid. Is this right?

Any ideas?

Wasn't game to find out how high it would go...

By the way, I bought my car with an upgraded FMIC, and the actuator was connected to the BOV by another t peice. Where does the actuator get its reading from in a normal R33? Before or after the throttle? I thought that it was suposed to be before the throttle body and whoever hooked mine up did it wrong.

Can anyone post a pic?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I am giving some thought to a 2 stage but don't want to compramise on quality so it will take some thinking but I'm sure it will eventuate :)

I hope everyone is having with there new toy, and not over boosting hehe yeah right!!

I am looking at importing some intercoolers and BOV in th enear future. Keep you posted. Skyline discounts apply of course :)

simark.. the diagram on the piece of paper you sent me says i should T-piece the bleed valve back to the BOV....why? mine isn't n it still runs 14psi,

What are the benefits of connecting it to the BOV?

please nothing to technical.

The diagram is a basic explanation of connecting a BOV. Skylines and other late model vehicles have complex setups. The diagram is mostly intended for basic technology turbo charged vehicles like cordias and starions and so on...

While not a skyline expert, I would say if you are having a great result from the controller as is then don't mess with it..unless of course someone more knowledgable about skylines suggests something else..

i am pretty sure as my friend really knows heaps of guys with 300zxs, and i actually took and showed him the device after which he told me..

i guess different people use different terminology, doesnt matter much anyway :)

well actually 'boost jets' as talked about in 300zx land are welding tips that they put into their boost hoses to change the time it takes for air to get to the wastegate. works well for them in increasing boost consistently

the link is from www.aus300zx.com and i know some people from there with Zed's and that is what a boost jet is in their talk...

maybe they could benefit from this as well then, Mark?

Chris

Edit:-

That should read " I couldn't see what I wanted to see.

D'oh!

I would have thought if you're getting yourself one of these devices, the best thing for you to do is just remove the solenoid from the equation, (why have two devices that do the same thing?) connect one end of the controller to a manifold fed vacumm line and the other

to the wastegate, then bobs your uncle and away you go.

Sounds pretty straight forward, putting my order in today, this one will be going into my rx7, we'll see how she likes a bit of extra boost :P

Cheers

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
