def install a guage before you start stuffin round setting it. sure you have it the right way round n in the line 2 the wastegate? ball isnt jammed in the bottom or something silly like that?

i cant believe you would screw it in all the way to see what would happen.

damn man! that would seriously do some bad ass damage to your engine! those turbotechs are savage when bringing theboost on and they work.

it was probly running 25psi or something silly like that.

take to get it dyno'd and check the afr's as well because you could stuff your engine otherwise.

also buy some bcpr7es spark plugs and gap them to .8 before you go there.

No worries, thanks for the help, I'll just keep it in for now and not boost it. Definately will buy a gauge tomorrow.

i can't beleive you installed and tested the boost controller without a boost guage! you could seriously do some damage to your engine.

your car is likely to splutter due to ecu fuel cut because of free boost or very high boost. remove the controller and ensure you install a boost guage before you start fine tuning the boost controller, otherwise you may damage your engine.

also, i wouldn't advise running more than 12PSI without a dyno tune because your car may lean out.

cheers,

dave.

Yeah I definately stuffed up, I know that the more you screw it in the more boost you will get.

I took it out now, it's running stock boost.

I've run into another problem though, as soon as the car hits 5000 revs and over it sorta dies in the ass. I think it may be leaking boost or something. It's been doing this since I installed my front mount. Has it got anything to do with my HKS SSQ BOV?

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
