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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
