Hi,

I just ordered the Boost Controller and I was wondering if I can use it but still run my standard boost. Will using this boost controller make my turbo spoil quicker even if I still have my turbo running at 7psi?

If it will work like this do I just leave the boost controller fully open?

Thanks

Matt

youll run probably 2pis over stock as a minimum, and yes, the more wound out it is the less itll run. cant have it wound out too much or the ball wont be held in place by spring and it could get messed up. if u want to run stock boost, dont worry with it - the difference between 7psi normally, and 7psi if you could get it with this is not huge. not the best investment if you are wanting to run stock boost

Blackrb20silvia asked this ages ago but I couldn't see an answer.

How do you connect it for external wastegate setups?

Boost reference ------ boost controller ---------- bottom port on wastegate?

leave top port open?

bought mine friday on bay got on wednesday, after a bit off fiddling with annoying small gaps and annoyingly taught hoses i got it on and wow. I used to hate the way my car had no balls after 5krpm, now i barely notice it drop all the way through to 6200rpm when i shift. Also it spools at only 2000rpm, as compared to the old 2800rpm with the pod and 3000rpm stock standard. It spikes a little bit from .8 bar - .83 bar, .83 bar being 12 psi, so ill just leave it like that. 12 psi (.83 bar) is the recommended boost to run on these engines right?

chris is the wastegate setup your talking about the standard one? because if it is catkicker wrote up a good guide under the heading "installing turbotech boost controller" or something like that

ohh k i only half read your post, youve got a toyota engine or something, i thought you had a black rb20. Gotta start sleeping more

Don't know how that got there. I have toyota 1jz-gte with large single turbo, external wastegate. Use this controller inline with bottom port on wastegate?

Still aint receievd mine yet, Said he sent it but i checked the mail room as i got it delivered to work but not boost controller!

What the!

If he gave you the tracking number, ring up auspost and get them to look it up. If not ask him for it. Mine came in one of those express post envelopes. Check the mailroom blokes pockets to, i work in a mailroom and its funny how easy it is to claim stuff missing, mwaha

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
