These controllers may be cheaper than the one sold at performance shops but are made properly adn indicdually unlike mass produced items mad cheap and sold at high prices.

Mark,

Just to clarify the construction of the valve, is it correct that the adjuster only screws in a total of 4 full turns before bottoming out ?

fitted mine 2 days ago, works well, my previous bleed valve for some reason used to let the boost creep up 1psi as the revs got higher, so at lower revs it was 1psi lower than i wanted.

with the new controller it holds exactly 10psi the whole time, much better :(

Angry...

What turbo are you running?

I've found the stock RB20DET turbo has issues holding more than 12.5-13psi.

A nice free flowing 3.5" does help quite a bit.

The Rb20DET turbo on the rb30det has issues holding more than 9psi.

So its definitely a turbo issue.

standard Rb20 redtop turbo ....making this horrible squeeling sound since i put the controller on ..i think its the bleeder hole... but **** it spool earlier now and comes in with a bit of a wack compared to the unboosted 10psi it was running for the last 12months.

i'm running around 12 psi ..gets fuel cut when its cold ..so i think a little more tweakin might be needed.

in 2nd it holds around 12 psi to about 5.. and drops to 10 right at the peak of 6500-7000. with a FMIC 3inch dump pipe back system with hiflow modified CAT. :Pimp2: .... currently building my split 3inch dump pipe ..hopefully that frees it up a little more ..as it kinda pops thru the exhaust under hard boost in 1st and 2nd..but i tihnk thats plug gap

.. but i'm looking to get my VG30 turbo fitted soon as well .... as long as i dont kill this 20 in the mean time..

Hey guys, Got mine in the mail today...

Looking at installing it but im totally useless. I have attached a pic from my FC rx-7 service manual. On the left there is the rx7 turbo setup and on the bottom right is the pic of the rx7 turbo. What i dont get is according to the left pic... on the right pic, isnt there spose to be a boost solenoid valve inbetween the hose from the wastegate actuator to the compressor cover that im spose to bypass ? Any ideas how i should connect this controller?

All input is appreciated

Cheers

This manual boost controller are good but if you are running serious power you cant go past a HKS EVC which uses a solenoid and stepper motor to control boost.

How is that relevant when people here are talking about a $22 boost controller, running slightly more than std boost :confused:

The AVCR's single solanoid works perfectly fine.

The Blitz SBC-iD doesn't have bells and whistles. :hippy:

AVCR I suppose. :rofl:

The Blitz EBC only has 4 channels, auto and manual mode with a scamble, multi pressure readouts i.e PSI etc.

Thats not bells and whistles.

What sets the Blitz and AVCR apart from the HKS is the auto modes.

For a smallish turbo setup the auto mode nets you an extra 10-20rwkw.

A larger turbo that has no problems supplying the required air at high rpm's doesn't drop boost, in turn the std fairly basic fixed duty cycle setup of the HKS works fine.

Hi guys im from the Uk and own a r33 gts t, ive been asking questions on other forums in the uk about this device, and have been advised on the following.....

is not advisable to allow the car to run the higher level of boost early in the rev range due to the ignition advance in the lower rpm range, removing the 2 stage boost control will allow the boost to run at .7bar from 2500 rpm and the ignition map will be too agressive to allow the engine to run without detonation.

Im not wishing to name names here but would just like to know what your opinion on this comment is.

Im not a mechanical wizard, and really just want to know the 2 sides of a coin so to speak.

Im just intriqued:)

    • 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.
