Dezz - which way do you have it plumbed in.. from the sounds of it you've put it in line with the solenoid.. once you hit 4,5000 it shouldn't make any difference if you've got the solenoid T-piece pulled out..

Take a photo of how you've got it plugged in and we'll take a looky.

I'll get a photo of it tomorrow...

its coming off the stock nipple, because my fmic uses the stock piping...so its under the airbox...

stock solenoid has no hoses going into it, and is disconnected at the plug

Hey dezz, did you sort out that issue? Very curious to see what's causing it.

I just installed mine tonight, on lowest possible setting for testing. It ran 7psi and slowly creeped up to 8psi by about 5000rpm. Although i dont think it was due to the factory dual stage. I'm thinking maybe the turbotech wasnt meant to hold such low boost.

When i get a chance tomorrow, i'll set it to 10psi and see how it holds.

HI everybody,

i ended up goin on ebay and gettin a turbotech BC. im installing it soon so i took a look under the bonet.

i tryed looking for a 32 install but didnt find. after looking at 30 diff pages.

I already have a hsk bleed valve (came with the car)and would like to replace it.. i numbered the pipes i think are used please help. number 1 is the bleed valve i think.. nice peice of plastc holding my boost.. i feel so safe..

sorry Fugi, not sure about r32 setup.

i set mine to 9psi today, and seemed to hold steady, although daytime traffic etc, and only really tested it in 2nd. so far so good.

i used the standard hoses, and just replaced the T piece with the turbotech, blocked the line that was going to the top of the solenoid, and remove bottom line.

can post pics if anyone needs them (R33).

Thats ok, i just wanted to see if someone could help me out so i didnt have to use trial and error. i will post up my findings cauz no one seems to have installed it on a r32 and taken picks. i will post soon.

Thanks

hey, on my r33 i had mine wound out so it would only make 6psi or so where the actuator opens. driving around tonight when i came from a bit of acceleration to a stop quickly she'd stall...im guessing this may be the cause as this is the only change ive done other than the new intake...

i'd be looking at the new intake. more likely to be that rather than the boost controller, since the boost controller isnt doing anything when your off boost.

new intake as in what? new pod? new intake pipe? new plenum? has your afm been messed around with?

are these still available for SAU members at $22 delivered???

I've tried contacting mark through ebay,email, and through pm on this forum but still no reply, anyone else know how to contact him?

Dont wanna sound cheap but why pay $37.40 on ebay if i can get it for $22...

Hey all as per my post i think like 20 pages ago i managed to get mine working and it has been going strong alot better than my previous turbosmart pos. Anyways i have upped the boost to around what i thought was 11psi. After doing some high load runs i found that it was getting up to a max of 11.6psi at 4500rpm and then worked its way down gradually till 6800rpm when it was down to about 9.8psi. I have checked the lines and they are as straight and short as i can make them. Other than maybe trying to shield the BC from the engine bay heat do people have any other ideas on what i can do.

Summary is below

4500rpm - 11.6psi

5100rpm - 11.1psi

5700rpm - 10.7psi

6300rpm - 10.0psi

6900rpm - 9.8psi

PS i know it's a cheap boost controller and can't expect the world but 1.8psi is a fair drop.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
