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?

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
