yeah apparently they are quite popular with 300zx guys for a long time... they apparently call them boost jets (as told to me by my 300zx owning friend after i told him i got it!)

you sure?

i thought boost jets where when they put little metal restrictors in the hose with a specific diameter...

Ordered mine.

I'll let you know how it goes in direct replacement of my GFB unit running 16psi.

The GFB for me is holding fine, but it spikes 1psi which sucks teh cok.

Let me know how you go. I've got a GFB @ 14 psi and it's holding great till redline. I do however get a 1 psi spike.

I'd be very interested to know if this one brings boost quicker. :rofl:

OK, so I fitted mine today and the boost went straight over 10lbs on lowest setting..

I put mine where the t peice is that leads off to the solenoid. Is this right?

Any ideas?

Wasn't game to find out how high it would go...

By the way, I bought my car with an upgraded FMIC, and the actuator was connected to the BOV by another t peice. Where does the actuator get its reading from in a normal R33? Before or after the throttle? I thought that it was suposed to be before the throttle body and whoever hooked mine up did it wrong.

Can anyone post a pic?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I am giving some thought to a 2 stage but don't want to compramise on quality so it will take some thinking but I'm sure it will eventuate :)

I hope everyone is having with there new toy, and not over boosting hehe yeah right!!

I am looking at importing some intercoolers and BOV in th enear future. Keep you posted. Skyline discounts apply of course :)

Mark

simark.. the diagram on the piece of paper you sent me says i should T-piece the bleed valve back to the BOV....why? mine isn't n it still runs 14psi,

What are the benefits of connecting it to the BOV?

please nothing to technical.

The diagram is a basic explanation of connecting a BOV. Skylines and other late model vehicles have complex setups. The diagram is mostly intended for basic technology turbo charged vehicles like cordias and starions and so on...

While not a skyline expert, I would say if you are having a great result from the controller as is then don't mess with it..unless of course someone more knowledgable about skylines suggests something else..

Mark

you sure?

i am pretty sure as my friend really knows heaps of guys with 300zxs, and i actually took and showed him the device after which he told me..

i guess different people use different terminology, doesnt matter much anyway :)

Chrissso, had a read back through the posts. There are already pics posted.

well actually 'boost jets' as talked about in 300zx land are welding tips that they put into their boost hoses to change the time it takes for air to get to the wastegate. works well for them in increasing boost consistently

the link is from www.aus300zx.com and i know some people from there with Zed's and that is what a boost jet is in their talk...

maybe they could benefit from this as well then, Mark?

Yeah... I know. I could see what I wanted to see.

My actuator is connected to the BOV, wheres your connected?

Chris

:evil:

Edit:-

That should read " I couldn't see what I wanted to see.

D'oh!

I would have thought if you're getting yourself one of these devices, the best thing for you to do is just remove the solenoid from the equation, (why have two devices that do the same thing?) connect one end of the controller to a manifold fed vacumm line and the other

to the wastegate, then bobs your uncle and away you go.

Sounds pretty straight forward, putting my order in today, this one will be going into my rx7, we'll see how she likes a bit of extra boost :P

Cheers

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
