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

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
