Hey ppls,

I going to make up for myself this weekend an Autospeed DIY Boost Control Kit which controls boost level and wastegate creep via two knobs.

I recieve very good prices from Pneumatics suppliers due to the industry I work in, so I'm wondering if anybody wants me to make them up a kit while I'm at it....

I wil figure out prices once I have price from my suppliers, and let you know, but right now I'm just feeling the water as to whether anybody would like one.

It will be on an aluminium bracket, with all parts required for simply plugging into your car, you may just have to extend some boost pressure lines, depending on where you mount the system.

You can read all about the system here http://autospeed.com/cms/A_0670/article.html

and it will have the extra valve from the second article also.

So, any takers?

Okay, I've got prices back, and it looks like it going to be about $150 complete as you see it in the picture.

The little check valve is an expensive little sucker.

Kit will come complete and ready to bolt up.

You will only need to cut the hose and hook it up.

Please advise if you are interested so I can order parts.

I will have photos of my set-up after the weekend.

Little side note.

I'm not making much is any money out of this.

I just figure that if I'm making one for myself, and I know another couple of people who want them, then I can help out.

Bass Junky,

I may be informed incorrectly, but this device is simply a bleed valve?

Im just trying to get my head aroudn what exactly it does, and how it works?

I found the article to not supply the information I was after.

Thanks,

Essential.

Okay,

The second valve is basically a bleed valve, but the first one is a valve which doesn't let the second one see any boost until a set pressure.

A 10 psi wastegate spring will be half open at 5 psi. If you stop the wastegate seeing any pressure until a set rate, you bring boost on much faster.

that's what this set up does.

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
