Hi guys, im new to this site. As topic states, installed a turbosmart boost controller now the car wont start! RB25, it had open hoses from the actuator and the pipe that leads to the blow off valve, it ran and was drivable. Fitted this now it barely starts, if it does it only runs for about 2 seconds then dies! Its sounds like its starving for air. Any advice on what it could be?? Thanx guys

Doesn't sound like the problem is the boost controller ... it wouldn't stop your engine completely like that. :pwned:

Try retracing your steps to see if anything else came loose or got affected.

I agree with everyone. Your car will start (but not boost properly) if the controller is on the wrong way. Your car WON'T start if a sensor is unplugged or a vacuum line isn't connected.

Check everything you worked on.

If you really belive its a turbosmart issue give them a call there allways more than happy to help as long as it was purchased through an approved workshop or store. If it was purchased through ebay then your out of luck as no tech support or warranty through ebay sales

      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

      Import insurance in 2025

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
