would be correct in assuming that in these bloody things there is supposed to a high tencile spring anda little ball???

Cause i just pulled it apart for the first time after trying everything to get it to work and there is no flaming ball in the end of it!!!!

WTF!!!!

Yeah there's supposed to be little ball in there. Get onto mark and get him to rectify it or send you a ball or something.

The little ball rectified it. Works like everyone on her has said it would.

All is well. Onlyset to 9 at the moment. Will have a play with plugging the hole up versus having the hole and get her to about 11,12 ish and see how she goes.

Cool man. Did you get the ball off the guy you sold it off?

The whole in the boost controller, is to allow air to escape when you close the throttle.

This then allows the wastegate to close again.

Also, if your boost is dropping 5PSi, it isn't the hole doing that. That's ALOT of pressure to loose through a tiny hole.

By a 5psi drop, the spring and ball should have closed, all air should vent out, allowing the wastegate to close, and boost to climb again.

It sounds more like your turbo can't keep up.

ok fellas.

ive used 4 of marks controllers.. 2 holes and 2 non holes.. on a GTR S14 and GTT with NO dramas what so ever..

untill this morning when i put one on my 180sx.. only occassionally it spikes..

boost is set to 6psi.. first gear is normally stead might spike to 10psi.. 2nd gear normally spikes to 10+ and 3rd gear ive seen it spike to 15psi..

on the hhighway build boost in 5th it wont spike. it will mostly only spike after changing gears..

this has really got me..

i purchased this controller a few months back with my first shipment from mark and its been sitting on the table outside for 3 or so months so i might check the insides of it tomorrow.. had very limited issues with the standard solenoid.. it would go to 10.5 and fall to 9ish.. but seeing a 15pound spike is quite scary.. esspecially when the can is on closed loop mode lol...

so ill post up what i find..

ok, ive put it on my s13 now, and ive got it so it sits at 9/10psi, but when i first gun it, it hits like 13 psi and falls back and sits at desired boost level, but when it goes to round 13, it coughs and splatters.... is this boost cut or missfire or??? it blows a lil bit of smoke when it splatters, and its only for a second untill the boost goes down a bit, and why is it going up to 13 then coming down so much?

Which direction do you turn the dial to turn boost down? Clockwise/Anti-clockwise?

Boost is spiking so I want to turn down, but I can't find the original instructions that came with it.

Screw it in and get more boost.

Wind it out and get less

Hi guys,

Today I was fiddling with my controller and dropped the spring into my bloody engine bay and could not for the LIFE of me find where the FK it has gone.

Anyway provided I don't find it, does bunnings sells the same sort of spring? Anyone had issues with replacing the spring?

I need the controller working by tomorrow as Im taking my car in to get a SAFC installed and tuned and want it tuned for 12psi

Somewhere in the 1500 posts on here someone has mentioned something about a replacement spring - i remember reading it ages ago but i cant for the life of me remember roughly where.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
