yeah i recieved mine yesterday and hooked it up last night.

oh and my car is a S15 200SX....

went for a drive set it to 14 pound... it gets there alright. its just teh changing gears that is the problem. it looses all boost and has to rebuild it again b4 we take off again. even quick shifting couldnt stop it from venting all teh boost.

is it because my standard blow off valve is set to like 8 or 9 PSI??? and it just lets too much boost outa the system?

i am unshure.... its the only thing i can think of as to why it does it.

yet my standard boost solonoid which teh computer controls works just fine, when teh BOV goes off there is still boost in the system and no need for a really laggy response....

I think its prob got more to do with the controller than the bov. I think its because the controller doesn't let the air escape that is in the line between itself and the wastegate - thus keeping the wastegate open and letting all the boost out which is why it has to build again. I heard that the earlier models have a hole in the controller somewhere to vent this pressure out. Btw if you want to run 14psi on your s15 i would prob reccomend not using the controller at all and just taking out the resrictor hose attached to the solenoid and replacing it with another hose like a fuel line hose or something. We did this on my brothers s15 and got 14psi with perfect gear changes- pretty much whl spin 1st 2nd 3rd. :laugh:

Cheers

Btw can someone please tell me where the hole is supposed to be? and do the controllers with the hole in them working in preventing laggy gear changes??

hmmm.. that's interesting... i thought i read a few pages back that the removal of the little hole was an IMPROVEMENT? :laugh:

Well if the one i got was supposed to be 'the improved' one then the first one must have been shyte. Cos gear changes certainly arn't that magnificant.

Hey guys,

I've been seeing guys have been blocking off a hose? Which one is it and how do you do it? After you do it do you have to plug it back in? A pic would be nice. I own a r34 gt-t

Thanks guys!

i already done that mod and plugged up that lil hole that leaks air in the BOV neways...

im getting about 14 pound boost which is good. its what i want.

and it makes sence that its going to lag alot when changing gears cuz the wastegate is staying open untill it vents that air out so is there a 7 pound 1way valve that can be put in the system to bypass it.

i bought the norgren valve settup as autospeed has. and CBF to set it up properly so meh it didnt get done.

but i was thinking cuz its a 1way valve settup that i could bypass it so that the pressure bleeds back into the system and there for elimating the "lag" as such....

but in saying that

ppl who run 20pound thru there cars with this boost controler... how come they dont have a "lag" problem when changing gears?

bought one it was shit house spiking laggy hooked it up as the instructions said played around adjusting it BAH! crap i say get what you pay for.....maybe i got a dodgy one i still have it u can have it ANYONE!

Not sure about the valve idea but worth looking into i suppose. I want to see what happens if i put a hole in it cos then it has a route to vent the air left in the line and hence closing the gate. So are you saying that you have removed the restrictor and are using a turbotech ontop of that mod to get to the 14lbs? Our one reached about 13.5 - 14psi with the restricotr removed, standard exhaust, turbosmart bov, and power intake. Anyone with the one with the hole, does it work to reduce lag???

ummz yeah i had a better think about that idea.. it wont work lol.

but yeah umm with my restrictor removed, 3" and pod. she was hitting 14 pound up top.. 12 pound till 6000rpm.

but on top of that now i have a greddy frount mount and a power fc.

so it boosts to 14 pound straight away with the standard settup. but it wastegate creaps a bit.

but just lookin at this controler now, it doesnt have that little bypass hole in it. so it doesnt relieve the wastegate from closing again :) and its really laggy between gear changes...

hay he changed it and not drilled the hole in it???

If your getting 14psi with the restrictor removed and no turbotech i would personally just take that and it little bit of creep and enjoy the crisp response opn gear changes over using the controller to reduce creep but lag on changes. The lag on changes really sh#ts me, its why i changed over from my turbosmart one but is no imrpovement, might even lag more...

ohok fair enough..

yeah i did lol changed it back last night lol

im just gonna save my pennies for a blitz ID3 i think... i was kinda hoping this would do what it was claimed to do at teh start of the thread.

altho it does hit boost harder. its no fun changing gears :)

ill just have to mod it my self now... about the only way i see around it... lol

Edited by n0nac

Mine has the pin hole directly opposite the nipple that feeds the wastegate actuator, so smack in the middle.

If its too high the bolts thread will block the hole and yes.. You could see lag on gear changes.

Solder up the hole and redrill. :)

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
