yeah mines got a really small hole in the back of the housing......

if you dont have one in yours get a really small drill bit and do one... i dont know what it does as of yet...

Went to my mates house todayt to give him back the gfb one and put my new one in, he put it all in etc etc and we went for a drive, first gear was mental, 2nd gear was off the planet, i watched the guage and as soon as it hit 15psi i backed off, got out, adjusted it, same again, adjusted it, same again.. i said to him you sure its on the right way, yeah its fine its fine... looked at instructions, looked at car, on the wrong way,

put it on the right way (i did it this time), went for a drive, adjusted it, now it holds a beautiful 11-12psi in every gear, no spiking,.......

The car feels slow compared to the gfb one because the gfb one is SHIT and it dosent hit full boost for AGES it feels more top end

the rb20 has the beauiful lateral feel to it once again with more power and torque up top from the extra few psi...

read back on the previous page (post #770). stops wastegate staying open after ball is pushed back by spring after pressure drops

Well I ordered one a while back and I'm gona install it today. Now it did'nt come with instructions (not that it's really hard anyway) but I just wanted a little clerification on installing it.

I have a 1990 R32 GTS-t, RB20det and does the controller get connected to the vacum line coming from the wastegate actuator? As well is which way is it supposed to facing as in, the adjustment knob facing vertically or horizontally. I just don't want to put it on backwards or anything.

I'm not being lazy, as I have read most of the replys in this thread, but that was prior to buying and I can't remember if there was anything concrete (install wise) for installing this on an RB20det motor.

I'd appreciate anything you guys can do and if you have any pic's that you could be post up, I'd be most greatfull.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks dude it makes it now bit clearer.

Ok now how close can i get it to stock boost by using this device? im really after the boost comming on harder and earlier rather than running more boost?

anyone here running their controller in this fashion?

cheers

Read my post a few pages back. I am running 7psi (rather than the stock solanoid running 5psi up to 4500rpm, then giving 7psi)

The quicker spool and having 7psi all the time gives lots more punch from 3000-5000rpm, which was previously missing. Car is fairly stock.

Someone asked about blocking off the unused hose on the crossover pipe... I cut an inch and a half of rubber pipe, then put it back onto the hose-nipple, put a screw that was a bit larger than the inside diameter of the hose, drove it in with a screwdriver, and then put a hose-clamp on it as you would normally. Screw isn't coming off, and it certainly won't get sucked in. Cable-tie over the bit of pipe, where the screw is if you want to be sure that it's air-tight.

yeppo, this is simply awesome!

i put this thing in after much trouble. haha, i thort this would be easy, but shows how much of a mechanical nub i am.

anyway, spools up much quicker now, no stock blowoff between gears (97 series 2) and holds boost stongly all the way to redline.

on the stock boost controller it sits just halfway between the +7 and the halfway marker.

damn worth the money.

peoples...i have just fitted marks bc onto an r34 auto...1st gear i get around .5 bar an in second i get .8 which is what i want.shouldnt i get full boost in first??

depends if u removed the stock solenoid.

ie, does ur boost source go from turbo->boost controller->wastrgate, or somewhere else on the way

i used the lines from the stock solenoid , to hook it up disconected the intercooler hose an blocked it off so it goes turbo boost controler wastegate

Hi All,

How long did postage take once you paid for the Boost Controller? .. I've been waiting a week after making payment with Internet Banking .. Just a bit worried as it is suppose to be sent via express post..

Wrote email to mark but no reply...

Cheers,

ok guys,

I should be recieving my mbc in the mail soon...

Below is how I think i will install the controller...

post-27154-1143964596.jpg

Should I:

Connect the * into the top of the controller (ie bit opposite tightening nut)

Connect the # into the side of the controller

Plug a Screw in the 'S' end of the hose

But what about the & hose???

Any help would be great!!

Cheers,

-JD

yes for */#

dont think it matters what u do with the rest, maybe loop it between 2 holes on the soldenoid to make it looks a bit more "stock" or something

Ok :D NewKleer! ... so the screw will go in the 'S' bit i take it too .. ?

Yeah with the & hose i will loop it from bottom solenoid nipple to the top one.

-JD

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
