hey all.

just wondering if anyone is using a jaycar boost controller? if so how easy/hard was it to fit to an r33? heard some good things about the settings on em but also heard they are a pain to tune, is this true? am using a turbosmart tee at the moment and over the prick of a thing spiking like hell! for the price of the jaycar one and a hand controller im thinkin it will be a go. just wanted to do a bit of homework first! :nyaanyaa:

cheers guys!

They are very good. Easy to install. I suppose how hard it is to build depends on how good you are with electronics. For me, it was a piece of cake.

Tuning does take a little while - you hvae to set solenoid duty v injector percentage. BUT the end result is the best possible boost curve possibly acheiveable because the boost controller blocks the boost signal to the actuator rather than just bleeding (with bleeding, some always goes through)

nice, i have a mate who worked for ibm so building it isnt an issue. does the tuning need to be done on a dyno or is it more a matter of reading and using the hand controller? or does it need to be done by a workshop? friend of mine has worked on imports a fair bit and has a basic knowledge of tuning ebc's...

cheers

check the Stagea section of these forums.

Sydney Kid did a small thread on it.

I have one already built for sale if you are interested.

hand controller too.

infact, I also have the Digital Fuel adjuster already built aswell.

what sort of $ would you be looking at for em? is the digital fuel adjuster needed on a 33 or just another tuning method?

Jay car prices:

boost controller - $79.95 as a kit to be put together.

hand controller - $59.95 as a kit to be put together.

Fuel adjuster - $79.95 as a kit to be put together.

I'll sell mine for $10 less each already put together.

boost controller - $70

hand controller - $60

Fuel adjuster - $70

Plus postage obviously.

also, I don't get how someone working for IBM has any more experience putting together a kit compared to anyone else that has hands, eyes and reading ability.

he is just better with a soldering iron than me lol! ill get back to you by the end of week! thanks- cheers

Are there any other boost controllers that control boost by blocking the air to the wastegate (like the Jaycar IEBC)?

Its the BEST way to do it, so it makes sense to me that it is the BEST boost controller out there.

I put mine together without any problem, just be careful and read the instructions. I bought the book from Jaycar aswell because the pics are clearer and its a good read.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
