lol no other controllers that I know of...I suppose anythings possible...but the hi stage boost was working ages ago....then it seemed to be spiking after 4500rpm by 2psi....So i thought the controller would fix it, as it eliminates the solenoid altogether, but it hasn't :cool:

I'm a bit concerned as I feel like I have lost power and acceleration since installing this, I'm hopinh it's not a result of wear caused by my fanging it around the past 3 days testing this controller and just generally having some fun. I'm going to put the hose and T piece back in and see if it makes a difference before I worry too much as the car is not blowing any smoke and is not making any weird noises, just doesn't feel as strong - that's even when i ran it on 9psi a few times. I should prolly try blocking those solenoid hoses first too.

Dezz: Just for the sake of it, reset your ECU?

yeah i might try that as well.

will be trying some other things out tomorrow night to see if we can work out whats causing the spike...

as for yours, i dont think 3 days of hard driving would have killed anything, unless it was already very close to dying

Ive actually laid off putting it on myself, i donno much about puttin stuff on, but after lookin at some pics im gonna attempt it tomoz :(

So i take it that you dont have to block the solenoid holes? Just the bottom tube which use to connect to the solenoid?

Oh, and is it safe to do this without an aftermarket boost gauge?

Yeh just boost it till it pings then back it off 2 psi, you guys realise that if you are running a series two, that the ECU will activate the rich-retard program when it senses overboosting. that is why your car feels like it has lost power. time to buy a computer.

may i ask how the hell ppl got this t peice off? its so damn tight...

ive got my solenoid hoses off, but cant get the t peice off to shove in my boost controller... so am i pretty screwed right now?

Hey guys, i have made a VERY easy to follow step by step procedure with colour photos to install the turbotech as a word file... PM me if your intrested and i can send it to you...

Took me 5 min to fit it! 4min and 30 sec to remove the vacumme hose of the T piece (stuck on) then 30 sec to fit the Turbotech!

Cheers

Hi guys i bought one of these for my mates 200, but dont know where exactly to stick it, doe any 1 know or worked on a 200 b4 i tried nissansilvia but there is no stright answer to it almost like no one knows how to do it or no one wants to help, if some 1 knows anytyhing at all plz let me know

thankx in advanced,,

cheers QRI05E and others, i finally got it on and its working great now, car feels alot faster :D!

I had to go buy some pliars cause using your hands to get those hoses off is like impossible... Pictures helped ALOT, i know nothin about cars and yet i still managed to get this thing on, goes to show how much help they were thx again all!

Twisting the hose off seems to be a good trick, that usually works.

There's been many posts about how quick he gets back to people. Understand that he is a one man show with a new born and that he hasn't stiffed anyone yet. Be patient, you'll get your tap soon enough just like I did. Hammering this thread or his inbox will get you no-where.

For the record I am one of the most impatient SOB's out there so I know what it's like to wait, this guy has got a lot on his plate though.

Cheers

Be patient.. I've had things take 1.5weeks to arive when sent by regular.

If you want it and don't want to wait pay the extra for express.

Yeah, I paid for express. Thus the impatience.

I'm not arguing he's got a lot on the plate, but even a "yes i got the money" would've been nice.

-mark

i got mine within a few days of payment, no 'thanks for payment" though just turned up, 3-4 days after given the Net transfer a couple days.

just think about that little bit of petrol you're saving >_<

Hi,

I bought this controller a few months ago now but havent been using it becasue of my coils. Now I have my coils fixed I have installed it and running at 12psi. I was expecting the turbo to spool alot faster but I have noticed no difference. My turbo still hits full boost around 3800revs. I have a R34 turbo from a RB25 running on my RB20. The boost also drops from 12psi to 11psi at around 6700revs. Is this normal and is there a way to get my turbo spooling faster? Also does it matter how long the hose is from the turbo and the wastegate?

Thanks! >_<

don rb20's make max power at 6400rpm,

that may explain the spiking at around 6700rpm.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
