Any chance that someone who's a member can show us the full article..

PLEASE!!.

I am member but sharing arctiles would put my account at risk. It is worth the $30 a year for an article every day.

They put one on a Galant VR4. It dropped off full boost a bit but this was probaly to size of the turbo was too small for that boost.

just take a screenshot

Zero risk....

guys i put one of tthese into a mates 33 workd awesome easu to set and hold boost awesome verry little spiking if notacible at all and holds boost all way to redline

just remember ball bering goes at bottom

hehe b2barker

why dont you ask 'another member', to log on as a secret person, and then get them to post it :)

im sure that would work, and we would all be happy!

otherwise you could tell us, the rest

hehe sorry guys, just reminds me of skool...

when the 'smart kid' knows all the answers, yet hes too much of a prick to tell you :P

so dont worry b2 nobodys gonna tell on you, pinky promise!

hmm my car is still broke... i still havnt used the turbotech to 'boost' my car...

Please can someone post an install for an r33 rb25det!!!

I have been using the high boost solenoid mod until now, and was wondering if thats whats not letting me run the controller right???

Ive tried, but cant get the controller working right, and do not want to ruin anything

Please help me get my car running a bit more boost:)

Thanks

when installing on the R33 RB25DET do the following:

1. find the bronze/copper T piece that has 3 vacuum hoses attached to it one from the manifold, one to the solenoid, one to the turbo.

2. remove this T piece by twisting the crap out of the hoses till you have the 2 free hoses, one from the manifold, one to the turbo.. leave the T piece attached to the solenoid hose, you don't need this anymore..

3. plug the following:

vacuum hose coming from manifold -> bottom of unit

vacuum hose going to turbo -> side of unit

look at the picture!

Finished drawing it:

there you go.. that's all you need.. pressure comes from manifold, passes through bleed valve if the boost is enough, heads to the turbo (wastegate controller) and opens the wastegate to vent..

good luck..

Hey all,

I bought one of these little babies Friday last week, Mark had it to me by Tuesday. Excellent service, and it is as well made as all the other posts say it is.

Anyways, I bought some extra vacuum tube to fit it away from prying eyes in my R33, so i ended up ditching the stock 3" length of vacuum hose coming off the side of the inlet pipe (next to the airfilter).

I kept the T-piece and solenoid hose in place and fed another new section of vacuum hose to it, (from the other end of the Turbotech so it looks neater), so all that's visible is a vacuum hose running fron the inlet pipe, under my pod filter, and back up the other side to hook into the T-Piece.

Plumbed it all in and took her for a spin, and I was still hitting 5-6 psi (stock), so I wound the screw up a little bit and hey presto- Non-spiking 10 psi at about 2700 rpm.

As for the solenoid, I tried it plugged in and unplugged and didn't notice anything really different, so I left it inplugged.

Effectively my set up is exactly as shown in this link...

Someone's making a nice little bit of money..

Personally I prefer it out of the solenoid but I guess - whatever rocks your boat.. than again i'm only running 0.6Bar anyways.. where as the stock car runs about 0.66Bar.. but atleast it's spooled up by about 2,500 rpm..

had it up at about 0.75Bar but was finding the car would R&R..

Hey guys, still having a few issues with the tap........ive manage to get it to run w/o any spikes......but i dont think its working as its not raising any boost?running stock (reading from the factory gauge)???i'll post pics tommorow. By the way would the high boost mod have anything to do with this???

Just out of curiousity, +3.5 on the factory r33 boost gauge (where +7 is the max) would be how much boost in PSI????

Pull the controller apart and ensure the spring isn't caught on anything.

Mine has done this once resulting in no boost increase.

It actually occured because i backed off the controller then wound it back in, for some reason there was no tension on the spring as I could easily blow and suck through the in nozzle of the boost controller.

Obviously the IN is the nozzle that runs inline with the bolt adjuster thinga majig.

Cheers guys, just to make sure, when these rb25's spike, is it like a mad missing sort of noise that occurs?, cause i've wounded my boost down heaps so i get no spiking, but the other day when i turned it up a bit, second gear would run till the higher revs, where a missing/popping sound will occur....is this Spiking or something elsE?

Its definitely not a good sound:)

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
