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,

Has anyone heard from mark recently because the last thing i want to do is buy from this jrd guy no offence but i dont beleave in copying then trying to sell your product on a thread that was directed at marks product...

if anyone hear's from mark please post up how they got in contact..

if not i will probly start saving for EBC.

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
