yeh i have found that you do have to play with it a bit to get a nice settingf or your car, ive adjusted it in and out at times, and stays about the same amount of boost, can be a bit tepremental :D but once you get it where you want it, it works extremely well!

these look like a nice little unit that would suit my application perfectly (want to run around 10 to 12psi, but with quicker spooling etc). I was going to go for the Jaycar IEBC, but if these do the job NEARLY as well, then there's no point!

Emailed Mark about ordering one :P

yeah these do change the way yr car drives. I had the turbosmart bleed valve and it over shot like a bastard. I set it on 10 but was overshooting to about 12-13.

I bought one these babies and set it to 10. now it over shoots to almost 11 and then back to 10, bloody perfect. and boost comes on soooo much earlier its like a new car to drive, no bull#$%@!

buy one yr crazy if u dont!

install is piss easy, just remove the stock t peice and plug it in. near your air filter, wind it down and away you go.... :cheers: one end goes to wastegate and one to the throtle body

just installed it on my stock 33 gts-t, man it jus redefines acceleration, feels like a new car. ONLY thing im a bit worried about, is when i flat foot i hear a rattling sound at around 5000+rpm mark. I thought it might be the T connection hitting as i just left that. I took the T off, and still makin the sound. It might be the actual controller tappin on the air filter clamp/strap thing, or some other metal.

Staunch be carefull you don't launch your motor.

One is a very very silly person if they simply wind up boost without throwing it on a dyno. If you have a std fuel pump, chances are its 10yrs+ and its getting a little lazy, as a result you hear rattling.. or whats known as detonation.

Detonation will kill ring lands damn quick.

Don't be hearing that noise otherwise the next time you do you may be waking in the morning to see a slight trickle of smoke from the exhaust, it will from then on get very bad very quickly. :D

well i didnt wind it up too much....stock gauge still reads the amount i had before i put on the controller. I'm gonna wind it back down anyhow, until that sound goes away. If it doesn't, should i just remove it?

dam! lost the ball inside! never dropped, just gone missing. maybe it didnt have one to begin with im not sure...i've never fully removed the bolt. anyhow, replaced the T piece conection again until i can set it up properly.

I want one. I get full boost (15psi) at 5500 and make 225rwkw. My damn Turbosmart shitvalve ebc won't let me go over 15 though. I want 20psi!!!!!

DO IT!!!

When I first installed mine I wound it in what I thought was a little bit (from the setting it was delivered with) and I hit 21psi first run and backed off in a hurry. Wound it back a bit and hit 15psi dead on the nose and solid as a rock.

It's easy to drive off boost with light throttle applications, but when given full throttle I am getting 15psi by 3400rpm.

Subsequently I have my old EBC up for sale :blink:

remember when testing, dont just jump straight on WOT to test it - at least give it 1/2 or 3/4 throttle just so when u go "shit, thats double my normal boost" you can stop quick enough before it does any damage. make sure u test in a highish gear so it doesnt all happen too quickly! (although id think this would all be common sense)

No worries, I don't think I'll do any damage. My engine is built tough for Australian conditions. I might have to go to my mechanic to see how to install it though. :)

yeah your mechanic is shit!!! lol

Australian conditions...did you put pushrods in it while no one was looking...hehehe

Personal joke for those about to try and flame me...

hahaha also yeah that pic was blatantly stolen from the page before.

my cars at the shop right now (snaped exhaust manifold studs) so i havnt had a real chance to wind it up, bu before that happened was boosting great and stayin at 12psi ^_^

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
