just wondering are you guys disconnecting the 2 stage boost control thing the R33 has??? you know its 5psi in the lower rpm ranges then goes to 7psi in the higher ranges?? If you got it set at 10psi then spikes to 12 it may be due to this factor. Just something that I thought would be worthwhile to mention :)

HI,

Mark here...

It's worth mentioning that sometimes when I get an email requesting details for purchase, my responses just bounce back repeatedly and there is nothing I can do... :(

And then a couple of times that guy has left a message on this forum about getting no response... :blink:

Also just a reminder that I 'rarely' check pm's so if you send me one and get no response..then you why...and I see i have a stack of them...

I work out of town too so sometimes I can get a bit behind qwith emails and post outs...

Also, sometimes my part supplier can be unable to get an essential part and there can be delays..especially with springs and the one I use can't be substituted without making a crap controller...Whatever the delay if there is one is usually for a good reason and not just coz I'm slack.. Im actually as busy as twins :(

Cheers

Mark

I jsut installed mine today. very impressed. With R33 theres a T piece, you remove this, you block the hose coming from the solaniod with a bolt. and from the waste gate you just plug into the controller like the pic supplied, and the other into the hose coming out of the pipe.

Yes it works :yes:

Another tip; hot water before you start on the rubber hoses loosens them up :cheers:

Ordered mine 7 days ago, How long does it take to get to Perth?

hope it comes soon :)

I would have brought one but the guy has never answered my questions of wether I can pick it up or not.......and the price has jumped to $34.90.....so I know what he can do with his boost controller.......

I got my Boost Controller today. Took a few days but came in perfect condition and with good instructions. Just waiting for my Boost Gauge now.

How long can the tubes be if you extend them to mount the controller somewhere?

tubes can be as long as you need them to be, but the shorter the pipes the better the response from the boost controller.

I am a noob. Wanting to buy this for my stock 33 turbo. I notice that the car is meant to be hitting i think 7psi standard but rarely hits it, more like 5-6. Will getting this and say putting it to 8psi or something mean that it will hit 8psi all the time (when on full boost). Cheers. Also what is the max for safest and most reliable operation for the 33 gts-t. I am only looking to maintain a good level of boost instead of constantly getting below tha standard

stock boost gauge isnt in PSI its in MMHG and 7X100 MMHG is about 13.5/14 PSI (cant remember which exactly) You can individually adjust this controller, yes but you should invest in a boost gauge that reads in psi or bar first, because these will be more accurate and quite a bit easier to figure out, going by what other people are running. As for stock boost, im not sure but try running a search with "Safe BOOST R33" or something

I thought by adding this boost controller, the two stage boost control no longer came into effect?

I dont see how hard it could be to install..

One end goes to positive boost pressure, ie inlet / ic piping

Other end goes to Wastegate actuator

of cause i could be wrong, thats how my current setup works

ive just payed for 2 of these bad boys last night (me and a mate)

hopefully give me more control over the boost

Is this kit the Turbo tech boost controller on Ebay for $34?

Im pretty keen to get one as im getting my bosch 044 next week and my FMIC soon so ill feel comfortable running about 10.

cheers

also, i just order one of the gktech intercoolers from the group buy, would these coolers have the nipple on the ic piping where the stock one is? or would i have to get a nipple welded to the new ic piping?

another thing to addm is how exactly can this magical boost controller increase spool time?

are you sure its not the placeboi affect?

im all for trying it but im curious as to how this boost controller can reduce lag and increase spool time.

What happens on a tradional bleeder or stock setup, is that the wastegate actuator sees a signal all the time so may trigger the wastegate to start opening early. Now what this controller does, is stop the signal from getting through to the acuator until it reaches a set point. Because the actuator dosen't get a signal, it leaves the wastegate firmly shut until the actuator sees a signal at which time it triggers the wastegate to open fully. Hense the super fast spool up.

This is a similar concept to what some EBCs can be setup to do, but dosen't have the high price tag to go with it.

An inexpensive product that actually does what it claims....took me 2 min to install with great results. Even if it did take a week to get here, it's $35 well spent. Nice one Mark cheers....

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
