Hi guys how are we all?

I have a blitz sbc type s (single solenoid with the dinky lil finger conntroller)

I cannot get it to behave itself for love nor money.

Im not after mega figures just a stable 10 psi ish.

It is installed correcly as far as i know (e.g it works) my solenoid is tapped in as close to the turbo as pos maybe 6" of hose on both pieces solenoid attached to wheel arch with dampening washers so im not living with zebedee. The controller itself tho takes its feed from the plenum but does share the line with the boost gauge and turbo time. I have full vacuum.

Now then im currently playing with 2 setups. My low is currently set 35, gain 5, p gain 0 which i know isnt great i get around 9.5 psi of boost but it does drop off a bit.

My high setup is something like set 30, gain 20, p gain 15. That is a bit off its head in 4th and 5th it gets 9.7 and kindo holds but in lower gears im getting spikes up to 11.1 which obviosly sets my warn and back off (20) off and never hits high boost correctly.

Im basically fairly sure my engrish manual is.......weeeelllllll vague.

If i follow the manual i set my boost (35) then adjust gain to allow the turbo to spool and thats it overboost as soon as i put 5 in.

I cannot find anybody else's settings for love or money, or even if im doing it right. Its all just sooooooooo vague!!

Am i to expect a certain amount of overboost?

Any help/example settings gratefully recieved!

For you 0.7 bar setting increase the phone gain so it's the same as your gain.

As a starting point always have your p gain the same as your gain. If boost drops off heaps up top, increase your p gain.

Think of it this way.

SET = how much possible boost the controller will allow

GAIN = how fast it comes on

P GAIN = Post Gain

I prefer to supply the boost from the compressor housing rather then the plenum.

That's not the way I was reading how he set it up. My understanding of what he said was.....

Boost source = close to turbo.

Controller boost signal (ie that used for displaying boost on the controller) is sourced from plenum.

Which is correct.

If my understanding is faulty, then, yes I agree with Kiwi.

I read the same as GTSdoseboy

Actuator pressure source = turbo

EBC display reading = plenum

sounds correct, settings need tweaking.

I like the older controller.. none of this P GAIN crap lol

wow thanks guys! i so should have joined earlier! im a UK chap and if im honest i rate you aussies as the best guys for skylines. Great products, great advice and mostly hilarious how to videos on youtube!

i've been lurking in the background stealing your info for a while.

yep you have read it correct that is how i have it setup and its nice to know im all good there.

that p-gain advice is great, nowhere does it mention this in the Engrish translation manual. it also confirms why when i had my gain at 0 and p-gain at 0 whilst not an ideal setup, behaved well.

its also nice to know i havent gone off the reservation with my settings, you would think you were asking about someones mothers vagine in the uk the amount of responses you get on this subject.

thanks again guys, and (sadly for you) as a result you will hear a lot more from me :)

i have a set of Gen7 celica seats i am going to do a fitting guide for at some point to give a little back. Cheers guys!

OOPs reading too fast (or brain too slow)

    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
