hi all,

I would like to know what EBC I can use that will allow me to run 0-20psi boost on a R33GTR?

My wife is not used to manuals and I do not want her to get into any trouble, so I want to set the boost at say 1psi for her, but I want 20psi for track days. I do not need any bling bling just full control of the boost.

Thanks

Get an adjustable actuator to set it less than the normal "factory' setting. Depending on the actuator used you could effectively get rid of all boost.

This will need to be adjusted manually between driver swapping though, could turn out to be a big pain in the arse real quick :mad:

You could also just disconnect the actuator, a much quicker job. I don't know how healthy this will be for your wastegate/turbo though, because it'll probably be flapping around a hell of a lot.

Thanks for the replies people,

I was wanting something that would drop the boost down below factory specs, but I am guessing I would need something with an electronic wastegate/actuator and that would equal big $$$.

Tha AVCR looks to be the go, do I need a specific model to use on the RB26DETT ? They seem to be costing around the $750AU for a new one, but I did not want one that was for a different model motor and want to make sure.

Are they also user install or do i need it pro installed and then dynoed ?

Thanks all

best to get it installed/setup by a pro. Here in adelaide i was quoted ~$250 (for install/tuning). It suits many types of cars, not brand specific. I've got the "vehicle specific wiring diagrams" book sitting in front of me (come with the AVCr when u buy it) and the Rb267dett is listed. :mad:

Depends on how competent you are with the iron. I installed my S-AFC myself and I've removed/replaced the turbo myself, I don't imagine a boost controller would be much harder than combining the 2.

There are no tuning costs if you don't have a reprogrammable ECU or piggyback device (S-AFC etc), but don't expect it to run very well until you get one and tune it :mad:

there very easy to put in it took me 1 1/2 hours to put in from opening the car door to taking the first run down the street just take it to some one who has one to show u haw to us it the boost setings r very low so u cant realy do much damage if u dont play to much with the set up but just dont give it to it to much till u have been shown haw to us it

yes but with the avc-r you can set boost for each gear and rpm range..and ye u cant set boost lower than lowest on wastegate.

install you can do urself with a bit of skill and tuning you can go dyno or with a mate and long stretch of road :D

if u only want hi / low setting then profec b spec2 is good buy..

its still a single solenoid unit, it displays injector cycle etc but if u got a pfc with h/c u can see that anyway.

So so many people have stated u can set boost in every gear but has any1 actually done it??? coz how does the avc-r know what gear u r in?? it doesent get a signal from the gearbox.

Right ppl. I have in front of me the AVCr instruction manual. I haven't had it installed yet (due to engine dying week after I bought it - different story). The Avcr has a number of different learn modes. Its pretty complicated, but there is a wire for the revs and a wire for the speed signal. It uses some sort of calculation from these two values to know what gear its in

Yes it would work - cos its in the Manual. Just need someone in the know to set it up fo u.

:O

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
