Unlimited Boost

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey guys

I Was just driving to civic and my controller is running unlimited boost for some reason. I haven't changed any setting or anything

It hits 14-15psi then jolts the whole car like the engine couldn't keep up. Checked the hoses to the controller and they all seem fine

Ideas?

Thanks guys

[Manuel Kasko]

Also checked the hoses running to the solenoide

They are all claimed tight

[Hadouken]

Freaky, saw a video of unlimited boost once, :S

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha are you just having a dig at me or being serious.

Only time it's stops boosting is when I take my foot off

Pretty much nothing opening the waste gate

[The Bogan]

Vacuum line to the gate?

[Manuel Kasko]

Vac line looks fine I'm walking back to the car now so might make sure there isn't a hole

[Hadouken]

nah no dig.

Genuinely serious

[Trozzle]

Run a vac line from the pressure source directly to the actuator (removing EBC from equation) to confirm that the actuator is working correctly. You should reach 5psi or thereabouts if it is.

[Manuel Kasko]

Turned the settings all the way down and it runs a solid 5-6psi now I just been WOTing it down the back streets and slowly setting my low setting in the controller back up

It's now pretty much got a flat 9psi programmed back into it.

Really weird because I didn't touch the settings at all and all of a sudden it started hitting 14psi on my low setting which was programmed at 8psi

Can anyone else hear their solenoide ticking away as they put their foot down? It sounds like someone clicking a pen really quick and can be heard in the car quite clear

[J'son]

You should be hearing the solenoid. That is weird and freaky bout the unlimited boost. Glad you got it sorted and didnt break anything!

Mine was giving me unlimited boost when i accidently mispiped it, had the wrong holes on the solenoid, but i was watching and paying attention cos was intending to set up the controller.

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha its bloody scary!

I was just hitting Northbourne and gave it some and it just kept spooling

Then the whole car just went clunk and jolted

Girlfriend was like "WHAT THE FU$% DID YOU DO THAT!"

She thought I did it on purpose lol

I'm lucky that when I run with nothing connected to the actuator my ecu hits overboost cut

[Manuel Kasko]

My controller has a boost cut but I had it set to high so it didnt have enough time to react to the overboost.

What type of ECU?

Wondering if anything can be programmed into a Nistune

[Trozzle]

ViPEC. It has the feature because it's running a MAP sensor instead of AFM

[Manuel Kasko]

Mmmm map sensor Noice

[ryu1605]

I'll be changing from a power fc to the vipec when my build is finished. It's basically just so I never have to worry about broken afm's more than anything haha

[Manuel Kasko]

I wish gtst Power FC's werent so bloody over priced!

$1300 for a second hand one?

You GTR owners get them for $700

[TiTAN]

for the cost of an R33 powerfc + Z32 afm more you can get the vipec plugin or link G4 plugin just saying

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah that's what I think they are way over priced

I will just get this nistune up and running then later when I throw more upgrades then it can handle I will sell and upgrade

[Trozzle]

People are running ~400rwkw with Nistune.

I don't think it has a limit for power or basic mods. It's when you wanna get complicated by plugging a wideband o2 sensor into it and stuff like that
