I don't think I really need a boost controller? Overkill? I will look into this a little more though in any case. I doubt taking off that little restrictor will make my car boost so much more. If I do blow the turbos... then I will just have to get new ones which don't have ceramic bits! :devil:

i can change the way boost comes on with my avcr. unsure how it works with a say a profec but with the avcr it really makes a difference. comes on much harder than just with say a bleed valve because i can control my boost solenoid.

i'd say every turbo charged car needs some sort of boost controller that is seperate to a wastegate. wether it be a bleed valve or an electronic unit - the restrictor you just pulled out is in essence a "boost controller" =)

taking that restrictor out made you go from what? 0.7bar to 1.0bar boost now???

good place is to mount the boost gauge in the airvent on the RHS of the dash (next to the ignition). it fits gauges perfectly and the gauge will be flush with the dash, thus look like its stock(ish).

and as for the restrictor removel - great move, a good bang for your buck modification! i like the idea also of drilling out the hole to a bigger size to find the perfect boost level that you are after...

good luck with it all,

Warren.

i have recently taken out mine and it dose read just about 1 bar on my gauge. before removing it would top around the 0.5 bar mark a real diffrence , i too got my info from a magazine but i dont recall it saying that mines chip was needed can anyone verify this?

my car has a mines chip and 3.5 inch HKS exhaust.... running 1 bar atm..... i have a R32 vspec... i am sure my turbo's are not ceramic.. can anyone confirm?

If i do have non ceramic.. then it should be cool for me to get rid of my restrictor without having to worry about them blowing.... true?

With more boost, you may need more fuel too... To do that there is a vaccum hose connected toa part of the airflow meter set up, (connects onto a little round thingy) If you take this off and block them both off you trick the car into thinking it needs more fuel all the time instead of just when your driving hard...

Also you can get a diode for your computer to make your car think it is cold all the time, So it idles higher and also provides more fuel... But I don't think you'll need to do anything like that if you have an AVCR

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
