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...

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 :)

Chrissso, had a read back through the posts. There are already pics posted.

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?

Yeah... I know. I could see what I wanted to see.

My actuator is connected to the BOV, wheres your connected?

Chris

:evil:

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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
