a question i have an external gate now it has 2 nipples on it now i just got one of these boost controllers  and i know it has to go some where so where and what nipple does it go on

bottom at the moment is connected to the inlet manifold so do i tee into that line with the boost tap the run the line from the tap to the top of the waste gate???

You have to run boost pressure to the top & your regulated boost pressure to the bottom. seems like you have spent some money, why would you risk it with a $22 boost controller?

Hi

I have three (3) payments for boost controllers with no reference number.

If you purchased one and did not include the ref number I gave you I can not send your item as I dont know who made the payment. emailng me to say you made a payment is not enough.

If this is you you must make contact with me and tell me what you did put in the reference line or if you wrote nothing, I need your bsb number.

Thanks,

Mark

Whacked mine in.

240rwkw R33, was running 15psi though a GFB Bleed Valve.

Pulled bleed valve out, put new valve in. Same spot, same pipes.

Found the right boost level and tested.

Boost does NOT spike 1 bit. Flies up to 15psi and then stops dead. Not one bit at all. However, rather than dropping off as I approach redline it is creaping up by about 1psi, so it effectively goes from 15psi up to 16psi. However I'm pretty sure the GFB was doing that to me as well anyway.

Overall. This item is a lot better than your average bleed valve. There is no reason to have a bleed valve when you can use this better item for far cheaper. The only convenience a bleed valve has is an easier adjustment (not so sensitive, no locker nut required).

Hi all, I hope you are enjoying the controller.

I still have payments from people who have not used the reference number I gave out. I don't know who they are from so can't send your item :confused: . If you wrote something other than the ref number pleae email me or you wont receive anything.

This is the third time I have posted about this so don't sook if a controller isn't in your mail box.

Cheers all

Is it normal to have an "exit" hole on the metal control thing (with the ball bearing in it..).

I've got two tube plugs, where the bolt goes, and then on the other side there's a hole drilled into it... only about 1mm wide.. so it's tiny.

I initially thought this is normal, but now i'm not so sure.. ?? Please confirm.

Thanks,

Well I just hooked it up... seems to boost slightly louder? Could just be me imagining things!

Defintely goes better though.. mid range is increased in my honest opinion. Before I just had a piece of copper pipe in there (to remove the standard actuator so I get over 4.5psi before 4500rpm), and damn, this ones much nicer!! :cheers: I can't believe I didn't install it earlier.

Just to confirm.. what boost comes up on my boost guage is defintely what the car is running? Like my boost guage comes up as 8psi now.. it wouldn't be running more? Just I noticed one of my rubber hoses that hookes up to this boost controller has a slight split in it.. I don't think it's leaking though, as a I just moved it up the plug lots. I'm paranoid about doing damage to my car.

Cheers,

Tommo.

Was boosting last night and something was suss...

Was spiking up 3psi!!!

Runs 15psi but was spiking up to 18psi when boosting hard in third.

Going to test again tonight to sus this out before making a final judgement on whether or not to put my GFB Bleeder back on which spikes 1psi.

Hmmm... seemed to work fine when I first installed it...

Hi Guys, I will be offline until tuesday night in case anyone is chasing me..

Just a reminder to those who did not use a reference number when depositing for the boost controller. I still have 6 payments for which I don't know who they are from. To date, not one person has made contact about this :confused:

Hi Guys,

After backing off the ballslams shut. Then any pressure trapped between the wastegate and the controller is evacuated out of the bleed hole (this ELIMINATES SPIKE as there is no pressure  left trapped between the wastegate and controller that adds to the next burst of boost- causing the dreaded spike). This process also stops back pressure to the turbo which would try to slow down the turbo buy attempting to spin it in the wrong direction thus causing lag.. Result: Far less lag.

turbotech: less spike, less lag, precise boost, no bullshit!

Mark seeing as,

"This process stops back pressure to the turbo which would try to slow down the turbo by attempting to spin it in the wrong direction thus causing lag..."

does your controller also negate the need for a blow off valve (plumb-back type or otherwise)??

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
