i put a turbosmart boost valve in 2 days ago. set it up and everything was fine. yesterday it started boosted like crazy no matter what i do with the vaule. Today i put in a replacement valve with a new one and same problem still.

also when i give it a bit it sometimes cuts out for a split second giving the car a big jolt.

can anyone give me any advice? im sure that its not the valve that the issue.

thanks

Bypass the boost controller ( Back to 100% stock ) and see if it still does it. Problem may be wastegate actuator

have bypassed it and i did go back to stock.

yes its the right way. lol

what would be causing the airflow cut?

Ummm excessive airflow due to poor boost control....Its a feature of the standard ECU that prevents engine damage due to too much airflow caused by increased boost or overboosting ...It acts in the region of peak torque 4000-5000 rpm on the stock engine. As soon as AFM voltage exceeds a threshold it cuts spark until air flow drops..

Don't worry...Its meant to be there...Its probably saved you from a big engine rebuild bill...

yeah that spot on to what it was doing.

so how do i drop the boost when 2 brand new boost valves wont regulate the boost?

Rip out boost tee and throw it in the bin :banana:

then enjoy not blowing your standard turbo into a million bits :D

    • Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov    
    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
