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?

Can any1 show me is there any thread to teach how to install a manual boost controller?Best if wif pics...i cant find any...i just bought 1 through ebay,...i think is quite similar or totally the same wif this 1~thankx~

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.

Edited by hayden49

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....

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
