Heya,

found these and i am wondering if they are any different to a bleed valve?

Turbotech - Precision Manual Boost Controller

53_1_b.jpg

Don’t be fooled by inferior quality imitations- Install a Turbotech today!!

A mechanically engineered manual boost controller- engineered for:

Ø Faster spool up,

Ø Significantly reduced turbo lag

Ø Super smooth boost delivery,

Ø Virtually no boost spiking that cheaper mass produced items are notorious for

The Turbotech is installed inline between the turbo and the waste gate to fine tune the required amount of boost for your application. It is not uncommon to achieve performance gains equivalent to 10 horsepower per 1psi increase in boost levels. What does this mean for the quarter mile runner? For every 10hp increase in engine performance, 1/10 of a second can be sliced of your 1/4 mile time. Installing the Turbotech is the most effective and cheapest mod you can make to your car to achieve significant horse power gains- instantly!

Skylines, Lasers, Supras, 300ZXs, commodores, charades, 3000GTs, RX-7s, MR-2s, WRXs, PT Cruisers, EVOs, Celicas, Civics, Integras, you name it. If its got a turbo fitted, the Turbotech offers instant exhilaration!

Turbotech takes only 10-15 minutes to install and requires only a very limited set of tools. Even with no mechanical knowledge, the Turbotech is completely idiot proof to install. The unit comes with a complete set of clear instructions and diagram.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A BLEED VALVE – This is a quality engineered precision instrument for fine tuning boost pressure. Some backyard mechanics like to think that a bleed valve is a ‘boost control valve’, however, all a bleed valve does is restrict pressure flow. This is NOT controlling boost pressure as it is not a one way valve, a bleed valve allows pressure flow both ways and out to atmosphere. They allow back pressure which hinders fast spool up and causes excessive turbo lag because much of the unused pressure gets sucked back toward the turbo during negative boost and tries to slow down the turbine- much like having someone pulling on your shirt while trying to run. This problem creates what is known as TURBO LAG, a condition where bleed valves or mass produced and badly engineered boost controllers can’t control the boost, which can and will cause expensive damage to your engine- avoid this at all costs. Turbotech boost controllers are PURPOSE designed and individually BENCH TESTED prior to being sold.

The Turbotech with its high tensile spring and ball bearing design, is adjusted to increase your turbo’s performance, while greatly reducing turbo lag and achieving positive boost faster by faster spooling. Why is this unit different? The Turbotech is designed to prevent the turbo from back pressure and boost spiking. It does this two ways, after positive boost and driver backs off, the valve slams shut allowing zero pressure to back up and interfere with the re-spooling of the turbo. Any small amount of pressure then trapped between the Turbotech and the wastegate actuator is eliminated via a specifically sized ‘excess pressure valve’. Inferior boost controllers do NOT allow the venting of unused boost and thus causing BOOST SPIKING- ^^Expect SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE GAINS**

THE Turbotech is made from high grade stainless steel and brass. As air contains moisture (H20), poor quality boost controllers are made from materials such as tin or plain steel that will rust and corrode and will result in rapid deterioration of performance.

Note: It is highly recommended that a boost gauge and fuel/air gauge be used in conjunction with this product as excessive boost can cause severe engine damage. Turbotech take no responsibility for damage how so ever caused so please use common sense.

this is my understanding of how they work in the diagram below would you say this is correct?

and i am only after a cheap slight boost up to say 10psi so an electronic controller is out of the question. has anyone had any experience with these?

they are on ebay for $22.50 btw

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
