what is the boost range this thing effective for?

say, with coupled with r32 wastegate actuator, i assume it's 10psi upwards (to max boost of ???psi) and with r33 one from 7psi?

cheers

I ordered one almost 2 weeks ago. Said he forgot to send it, fair enough, but now almost 5 working days later again, Im still waiting.

Very very poor service, now hes not replying to my emails. I ordered this 2 weeks in advance so that I could get it on my car before it went on the dyno. Its going on the dyno tomorrow though

it can give you more boost than the stock turbos can handle. think i highest i ever saw was around 18psi with a 25 turbo and actuator. but that much boost with a stock turbo is stupid :P

Hey guys, quick question.

What is the lowest boost you can set the turbo tech to?

I'm currently running a 3" turbo back exhaust with a bell mouth dump/front pipe, FMIC and pod filter.

I running stock computer as well.

I just got the turbo tech and installed it as instructed by the diagram on the 1st page of this thread.

However, I can't seem to set my boost to below 9psi. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know if this is normal or have I done something wrong?

Someone point me in the right direction!

You can only go as low as the actuator will allow, so i guess your stock boost level is 9psi, so that is as low as you can go. I have 14psi actuators so that is as low as i can set my boost.

Hi Guys,

Started reading this thread this morning, got to page 25 (not much happening at work) then skipped to the end... 4 years and 55 odd pages later I figure hey for $30 who can say no. I have 1 question though.

What is the long term reliability like? Can anybody who has had one of these fitted for a few years comment on spring tension reduction, carboning up, ball bearing rust etc etc.

I know it doesn't really matter as for $30 you could buy one every year if you wanted.... just curious. :sick:

hey guys in leu of having this boost controller i fitted up my turbosmart valve t as the instructions say for this one. Anyway i set the boost all good and its driving fine but now my factory boost guage is not working all the time. Ive also done the FMIC install as you can see in this section.

prior to the boost controller install i'd done the wire cut and ground for 7psi without the guage playing up.

Is it an issue now that i'd removed the solenoid or should i be looking somewhere else all together? where / how does the factory boost guage get its feed / signal from???

Have bought two in past 3 weeks, 3 day turn around on both :)

Stupid me didn't tighten lock nut up fully and first one decided come apart while on boost :) surprised parts of the turbo didn't end up out exhaust, Second ones working a treat

Hmm just so everyone knows there is plenty of these style pneumatic valves around... you can get ones all stainless, brass whatever you want. electronic if ya fancy.

company that springs to mind is SMC they have a stack of one way adjustable pneumatic valves. There is also another that starts with pneu*** can't remember. just thought id add something. Sure i saw one with a nice little marked adjuster on it too so you know the opening pressure, long time ago.

If your not happy with there service like many arn't, including good freind of mine there is allways an alternative below, my mate bought 1 and there identical units and it works a treat in his car for months with no issues.

can anyone confirm whether this is the way the boost tee is assembled, i was checking mine to see if it had dirt in it and it all fell out all at once and im not 100% sure which way it goes back together, but i've gathered it goes something like this.

this is an exploded view

Looks correct to me (how else would it go)?

hey noisia, im pretty sure that is the right way. i brought one of these and took it apart accdently when i did and the ball bearing fell into the left hand side of the diagram so when we were hookin it up the boost could go as high as it wanted lol. if its wrong i recon u will find out very quickly, just keep an eye on ya boost gauge mate :rofl: n when adjusing it remember do little turns at a time, im talkin lik 1/4 of a turn

borrowed one off my mate to test so i tried it on my car set at 12psi and i found that spooling was slower then another branded bleed valve that i'm currently using. Lucky i didn't buy it... still gonna get a EBC tho.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
