Rob77,

My 32 is boosting to 11.5psi (dropping back to about 10ish) now with the boost controller off. So essentially its running standard boost. Thats just from having a full exhaust system from the turbo to tip. Dump pipe made a HUGE diffrence to when the car comes on boost too.

I suppose i could set my boost controller up for 12, but hey, its only .5psi.

Besides, i think my HKS dinosaur boost controller has finally given up. It behaves very strangely.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Holy smokes brother. If you get there before me, let me know if that was manageable with a hone. I still haven't done anything with mine and probably won't until I get the car MOT'd later this year so that I have another 2 years to do what ever needs to be done. I am at 86.5 now so at least I have the 0.5mm to go up from where I am, but that means new pistons at the very least. Honestly, might consider a stroker at that point.  Cheers

      It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
