they have steel wheels, otherwise standard :huh:

only GTR standard turbos that are steel exhaust wheels are, N1 or nismo turbos. the R32 R33 R34 are all ceramic exhaust wheels.. unless they are a N1 or A/M set. :D

i fitted one to the S14 today need a gauge for it.. so waiting till end of the week.

mark sent me mine in around 3 working days from payment.. quite quick.. :wacko:

maybe groper's referring to the fact that he either has one of the 'factory' steel wheel turbo's or he's had the ceramic ones replaced with steel wheels... possibly...

ok like the 100 other posts before. i purchased one of these boost controllers. i already have a gfb valve already set up on the car and was installed by the previous owner. could someone give me a quick run down of how to install the new boost controller in replace old the gbf, is it just a straight up swap.. disconnect the hoses from gfb then connect them to the turbo tech one?? or is there any change or extras i need to be concerned with. im installing it asap so any imediate help would be awesome!

thanks

i run mine without the hole and have no boost problems whatsoever with it .

it spikes a bit early in the rev range but after that its quite good

That looks like quite a bit of a spike though 16.5psi down to 12.5, did stock boost on your car hold a flatter manifold pressure?? looks like it fluctuates quite a bit.

hey guys,

i just installed this boost controller in the other day.

it seems pretty good now that i have drilled the whole but 1 thing i dont

understand is that i wind the nut all the way up (lowering boost) yet my

boost guage shows .7bar to .75bar BUT if i was to wind it down (up the boost) my guage will show .8 .9 1 depending on how high i set it, so in other words i cant get it to stock boost.

Shouldnt it be showing .5 because the boost

is all the way down???

would this be because the controller isnt installed right or boost guage not reading right.

MODS:

cat back exhaust

pod

atmo BOV

(apexi boost guage)

any1 come across this before???

cheers

    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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.
