I just bought that manual boost controller off ebay which every1 is raving on about...

i have put it in where the stock Boost solonoid sits. (GTR)

but thing is i dont think i am running more boost even with the bleed valve fully open...

i have no idea if it's working or not. i can not seem to feel any diff.

it's more like it has decreased my boost

o was running 0.4 bar boost 7psi..

now the question is do the bleed valves work in a GTR?

danny I will give you some advice which may sound harsh. don't screw around with it. you clearly don't know what you are doing. if you stuff it up and there is no pressure feed going to both of the wastegate acuators then you will be running unlimited boost, that is the wastegate wont open at all and your car will feel like an absolute rocket ship, then it will die. ask druzilla about this problem. you will then be mightily pissed off and think why the f**k didn't i just get someone who knows what they are doing to look at it for me?

by all means get someone to explain it to you so you can learn how to fit it next time but if you aren't sure don't do it.

fitting bleed valves is a simple thing, but one that so many people have stuffed up. it's not nice when you do.

mate you have already re-built your GTR a number of times I'm just trying to save you from another one.

bah shut up :rolleyes:

nah .. i know what u mean mate..

but i think these are not ment for GTR's as they have 2 turbos instead of 1 which the manual 1's are suppose to run off

hm.. i dunno i found me self an AVCR so i'll see how that goes

haha, i'm not trying to be a c0ck head. ;) I think you know I'm just trying to save you headache.

The bleed valve and the AVC-R both work on the same principal, they intercept the pressure feed going to the two wastegate acuators then they bleed off some air to trick the wastegate into opening at a higher boost pressure than it normally would.

so just replacing the bleed valve with an AVCR wont help.

FTR the bleed valve will work fine with a GTR twin set-up providing it's installed correctly.

Easiest way is to block up all the factory lines, then mount the bleed valve on the passengers side of the engine bay. Get yourself 2 vacuum tees, tee of the charchol canister to the input of the bleed valve and then tee the output of the bleed valve and run one line to each wastegate actuator.

yeah dont touch it :D:)

mine wasnt due to me playing around with boost, the mechanic found that almost all of the rubber hoses on the turbo side were corroded, resulting in a leak, resulting in unlimited boost, resulting in 2 fried pistons.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
