MM i thought the jrdsports ones were just cheap rip offs of marks ones? As in just replicas, no effort put into them just a design stolen.. Thats what i thought anyway..

Indeed. f**k this other bloke who has ripped off Mark's design, I know I'll stay a loyal customer to him - he makes an excellent product and was the original innovator!

I just received one of these last night. hooked it up to my s14 this morning, and can't seem to get it to sit at 8psi.. i'm scared that if i wind it out too far, that the bolt will fall out. does anyone else have this problem?

Brian.

guess you didnt read that they have a minimum of about 2psi higher than stock boost. if ur wastegate is 7psi, you wont be able to get much less than about 9psi.

if u wind it out too far you will get stock boost or boost leak/running rich/shit depending in the screw you wind out no longer seals the air

if ur getting it to 9/10 then its probably working right. do you have a fmic, and what boost source are you using? when it spikes to 10, does it then come back to 9? does it do it more in low gears than higher gears?

i've got fmic.

thats how its been set up. (i know clips are on, its for illustration purposes). the red pipe goes to the fmic piping.

i'm pretty sure that it doesn't go back to 9. it'll just keep creeping up. its hit 12 before i've backed off.

the boost source should be the bottom, opposite bolt. the middle one goes to wastegate

the boost source should be as close to turbo compressor outlet as possible. u might get spiking if its on the manifold side of a bit fmic

Firstly I must say props to SirMark. I had my controller delivered within 3 days of the direct deposit, great service :)

Secondly, it works brilliantly. Boost builds beautifully and holds really well. On my RB20DET it hits 14psi at about 3500rpm, I think but it might be a bit lower. Boost tapers off to 12psi when the revs get up to 5000-5500ish but that's obviously just the turbo maxing out its efficiency.

All plumbed in nicely now, still works 100%. Amazing little controller and an absolute bargain at this price. I've since fixed all the missfire issues it caused (Note that it wasn't the controller's fault, missfires were from coils/plugs not holding up under the extra airflow from higher boost) and the car feels great.

Props to Mark for a great MBC.

Ben.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
