Can someone help me with this? I have an R34 GT-T and I know I have it setup right but this boost controller does'nt seem to work on my car... it builds boost up to the 12 psi I want... but then at 4.5k rpm-redline, it drops off down to 6psi... anyone know why this is? I've installed many many boost controllers and have never had a problems with this untill I've started using manual boost controllers on my cars.

It could be your headlights have a bad earth!

Sorry, I thought I would make some crap guesses too.

Have you checked to make sure the factory control solenoid has been disconnected as this will limit your boost to 6-7psi once the ECU detects overboost? And on the R34's the boost cut is around 12psi.

Thankyou, please come again.

Installed mine yesterday. Started at 5psi felt like stock, wound up to 10psi, felt like my ECU didn't like it but it hammered, wound down a fraction and got 7psi up until 5000rpm where it just reached 8psi... Quite happy, and you DO feel it come on boost quicker.... and i'm running stock everything else!

The bottom end (opposite from the allen bolt) goes to your intake pipe (that goes directly to your throttle body, the side feed goes to the turbo (wastegate actuator), and the last hose left over will come from the pipe that leads to the BOV. put a nice big screw into it, then hose clamp the pipe over the screw to make sure it doesn't come out. The factory solanoid can be completely unplugged (hoses) and left hooked up to the ECU (wiring).

Chalk up another satisfied turbotech customer. :)

When my first one did not turn up in the post mark sent a second one out for free. The first one ended up return to sender to him the day i recieved the second one in the mail.

Easy to install, first run out with no adjustment ran completley steady 10psi (exactly the amount i wanted) with no spiking or drop off at high revs that i've seen sofar. I also agree with what others have said that the car seems to get on boost earler, okay its not a massive increase, but the product performs like something 5 times the cost IMO. Highly recommended :)

I brought one a while ago and I love it I dont think ATM I will have a need for a electric Boost controler for a while as I have no need to boost that high. I own a GFB and that thing spiked like crap this has a little spike but its 1 PSI Who cares about 1 PSI and it hold all the way to the red line very nice I love it.

when you say "factory solenoid can be completely unplugged", is that just the 2 stock hoses that can be unplugged, do i need to loop these solenoid nipples?

The two hoses from the stock solanoid can be removed completely. The solanoid can just sit there with nothing connected to it. You're bypassing it completely... although... if you hide the new boost tap, you might want to run some long black hoses in a loop off the solanoid so that it looks connected to something. (sleeper style)

I too am another happy customer. Installed it as it came and my poor little standard turbo went upto 1.2bar... so a minor alteration and Ive bumped it back to 1bar.

Too easy! EBC Killer!

how come i can't seem to access the link on page one to buy it :P i really wanted one ....*cries......I WANT ONE!!!!....where can i buy it? can;t find in ebay search..dunno where else .... can you please help out a friend in need of more boost?....*sobs

email [email protected] and ask him to send you one

Sam was the person who actually co-designed them.

I had my car tuned by Dr Drift on Saturday and swapped my Leakosmart Dual Stage EBC for one so I could get over 16psi. Running very nicely on 19 now!

say u want one, he'll give u bank details, deposit and give him ur address, and thats pretty much it.

this still holds for those who want to email the guy who appeared here directly. should read the whole thread, but i guess at 100 pages its a bit much to expect :D

maybe a mod can edit this into the first post so people know what to do?

    • 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.
