Hey guys. I need some help on using this boost controller. I know some of the basic funtions such as scrolling from stage 1-4, peak boost, and boosting it up on each stage (eg set 30-40). now when i hold the left button when its one of the stages it goes to these other numbers. Ive been told if raise the number it would make the turbo spool up earler though on the stage settings i would have to bring the set number down. If any one could help it would be much appreciated. Also what other features are there?

hi mate

i've got a dsbc spec-r too and if you hold down the button, all 4 numbers flash. that's the gain setting. in the instruction, single turbo cars should set that at 20 as a starting point. twin turbos should have it at 5. you are right though, the higher this number is, the quicker it will boost but it will also be prone to spiking before it settles down higher in the rev range. trial and error would be the best way to set your desired boost as all cars are different depending on what mods they have got.

if i were you, i'd set the gain to 20, and set the stages (1-4) with trial and error starting with 15, 20, 25, 30 etc until you get to roughly the boost level you want to run and then use increments of 1 to fine tune it. use the peakhold for each setting if you're unable to safely look at how the car is boosting and driving at the same time (best if you've got a mate with a keen eye and knows a bit about the dsbc spec-r)

other features it has is a warning function which is very good. you can set the warning boost level where it will sound if you go over the preset limit. not only that, it will automatically turn down the boost for you (you need to set this up though) until it reads a negative pressure (when you've taken your foot off the accel)

another feature is the time and boost feature which allows you to run a set amount of boost for a set amount of time. for example, if you've got a bad traction problem, you can set the unit to boost at 0.8bar for 2sec before it climbs to 1.0bar then, you can enjoy full throttle take offs without having to smoke the tyres too badly.

hmmm....i think that's basically it......

how do i do this????

ok...that mode is called the scramble mode.

C is how many seconds you want to overboost or underboost

P is the stage setting.

FOR EXAMPLE ONLY:

say your normal settings are

Gain: 20

Ratio: 40=0.85 bar boost

Ratio: 50=1.0bar boost (say, this is your normal setting)

Ratio: 60=1.2bar boost

if you want to overboost for 3 seconds to 1.2bar:

set C to 3

and P to 10 (what this means is that your normal setting is 50 and the P setting will increase that by 10=60 giving you 1.2bar)

if you want to cut down your boost to 0.85bar for 2 sec:

set C to 2

and P to negative 10 (-10). the end result will be 50 minus 10=40 giving you 0.85bar.

do you understand what i mean?

(example again)

because you have 4 preset boost settings now if your setting is:

1) 30

2) 35

3) 40

4) 50

after setting your scramble to (example C2 P10) and you choose boost level 1 (which is 30) then this means that it will over boost to a ratio of 40 for 2 sec. now on the other hand, if you turn the boost channel to 4 (which is 50) it will overboost to 60 for 2 seconds.

is this explaination better?

from what the instruction implies, yes. it will cut (or raise) by the set amount and will do this everytime it boosts until you take your foot off and hits a negative pressure.

so even if you dont change gears (say you leave it in second) and put your foot down, the first 2 seconds will be what the scramble is set at. if you take your foot off and stomp the accel again, it will again scramble for 2 seconds before returning to normal boost settings.

Resurrecting a really old thread.

I've had a Blitz Dual SBC for quite some time and I was wondering what settings others are using? Here's my setup (with older Hypergear SS2 internally gated):

1. 30
2. 35
3. 45
4. 55
M 0
---
1.55 warn
C 2
P 10
Gain 12

I normally run the car in the high boost setting 4 (ratio 55).

I have a couple of minor issues with this setup:

1. I used to get just shy of 1.4bar in setting 4 but seem to get around 1.3bar now. Granted this is in hotter ambient temps but I wonder if the recent head gasket replacement has anything to do with it? Can I just crank up the setting to increase boost safely? The car was originally tuned for 1.4bar.

2. The boost level bleeds down by about 2-3psi from peak to the top of the rev range. Is there a combination of ratio/gain/scramble boost settings that could help keep this more steady? Or is this just a natural limitation of the IWG?

Cheers guys

The Skyline just presented me with an EOCY bonus, a cool boost leak. No wonder it's not hitting expected boost.

I'm still keen on hearing others' Dual SBC settings if you run the same controller, especially if your boost holds flat to redline.

Issue 1 is now resolved, it was a boost leak at the intercooler to intake elbow joiner. More info: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468422-silicone-joinerreducer-pn-for-top-intake-pipe-to-elbow-rb25det-neo/

Re issue 2, if anyone knows how to flatten the boost curve using this EBC I'm all ears. Here's how it looks like at the moment:

(Output 275rwkw @ ~20psi, BP 98 Octane (red line) / Without airbox lid, snorkel and filter: 285rwkw (top blue line))

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
