What Boost Control Are You Using?

[jrm]

I will try to upload the dyne sheet. Also has anyone else noticed the info missing from the bottoms of staos dyno results. Without all the extra info they look rather false.

Just a note I wouldnt be this pissed off it atleast made the same hp as the stock turbo. It fell a few hp short of the stock turbo. I know different conditions may be at fault but yeah for $100 more I could have had a better turbo without all the extra problems of installing a chinese/eBay turbo.

You made over 306.4hp (228.48kw) on the factory turbo? At what boost? That sounds awfully high (unheard of), especially from what I've seen in the dyno thread.

i just noticed i miss typed, sorry, it was suposed to read "it feels a few hp short of the stock turbo"

The turbotech boost-T are the best of the manual controllers. $30 off eBay, superior to your current turbosmart unit. Check the lines from the turbo for a small split.

The stock turbo will probably be more responsive since its small and very light.

Whilst your new turbo may get going only 300-500rpm higher in the revs, its right in the most-used range, so you're going to notice.

However, once it starts to sing, there should be no comparison with the stock turbo - it should pull pretty hard although looking at the dyno graph the boost does fade pretty rapidly.

While we're on the topic of boost controllers, I'll give another vote for the turbotech one off ebay, but as noted in earlier comments, probably not a good choice for high boost applications.

The turbotech works well around 10-12psi, maybe a little more, but anything over say 14psi really needs a decent controller.

Hope you get it sorted.

I really would like to get a blitz boost control as ive got a blitz fatt. But I thought blitz had been sold and they are a different brand now. But I saw one on eBay. So yer

[lilcrash]

Ok so now I've got 22psi on gearchanges and 20 at redlIne. And a possible large boost leak.

[GTR260]

I can tell u that is a shit tune! Power curve is all over the show! Go somewhere else snd u may get a better result

[Scriblez]

I'm running the Blitz i-color. Great piece of kit, shows full diagnostics and records all data on digital display. Still learning to use it after downloading it's 65+ page instruction guide :-/

[Malteaz]

Are the Eboost 1's any good?

Lookin to get one (as they Ebbost 2 is out therefore = cheap cheap)

Dont have a car pushing big power so will 1 do the job..

Any negatives?

We have wuite a few guys running 30-32psi on teh original controller but yeah teh new V2 isi far superior at high boost..In fact it holds 60psi rock steady under test and to be honest I havent even tried to find its max. it's all in teh desin of the seat and teh speciallly imported ball for the gate that seals solid. Normally gated controllors have a hard metal ball on a metal seat..teh V2 has a metal seat but teh special ball is not metal or ceramic. It is hard but has some flexion so it seals tight.

Cheers.

Why do there seem to be heaps of people who like the Blitz dual solenoid units?

I don't really understand why you'd need two solenoids, and why Blitz seem to be the only people peddling a dual solenoid EBC.

[scotty nm35]

Twin turbos?

A Mac valve would be better...

[QWK32]

I think it's something like one of the solenoid valves adjusts in big increments and the other in small increments. So with the two working together you can get better resolution/control than units with just one solenoid.

Why do you think the Mac valves are good for automotive applications? Some of the plant that I maintain uses banks of Mac valves and they are still going strong after 10 years, but this is with filtered / dried / cooled air. So I think they are a reliable valve but performance wise I don't know, they still only do the same job as all the festo, smc, norgren valves we use.

PS my gizzmo unit uses a Mac valve and it does the job well.

I installed an IEBC on the weekend & ended up using the factory solenoid to do the control, just rerouted the hoses & wired it up to my controller.

I tested a solenoid I had bought 15 years ago, but it didn't want to pulse reliably above about 30% duty cycle so gave it the flick in favour of the one Nissan already supplied, thanks guys .

I ran a small MAC on my Haltech setup for about 6 years - worked fine. I'm just using an adjustable wastegate actuator rod on y DR now because it's only running around 9psi, but I might build another IEBC and see how responsive I can make the old TO3...

You can just see it (circled) in this old photo when it was fitted to my Z.

[numleg]

AVC-R pretty much the best if you ask me.

I've only ever used MAC valves in industrial situations but they do work well in high speed/precision applications.
