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 :)

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

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
