I found a good cheap boost controller for $22!!!

[MsG_ChRiS]

Was boosting last night and something was suss...

Was spiking up 3psi!!!

Runs 15psi but was spiking up to 18psi when boosting hard in third.

Going to test again tonight to sus this out before making a final judgement on whether or not to put my GFB Bleeder back on which spikes 1psi.

Hmmm... seemed to work fine when I first installed it...

just a question are you still running it with the stock solenoid???

if your boost is spiking at higher revs in 3rd this could be attributed to the duel stage nature of the factory solenoid.

how do you bypass the factory solenoid ???

does ne1 have any instructions for this???

and does ne1 think that doing said modifications will break my baby???

Hey MArk can you tell me when I'll be getting mine in the mail? I emailed you about 10 days ago and you gave me the a/c number and i put it in the next day. How long does it take to arrive?

Just a reminder to those who did not use a reference number when depositing for the boost controller. I still have 6 payments for which I don't know who they are from. To date, not one person has made contact about this

Cheers all

Mark

One of them is me! What do i do?

[Bazelinez]

Just a note to people. Remember the number Mark gives you! I bought a controller off him and it arrived no problems.

He's doing the right thing by you so help him out a bit huh?

anyone got any installation pics on an R32 GTSt? I think I'm right but would like to see someone elses to be sure.....

installed mine today! Its running ~12PSI. Drops to 11PSI near redline though no fault of the boost controller more a turbo thing... Pulls very well, boost comes on no earlier but it does come on stronger. However I did give myself a 3rd degree burn on the dump after the runs trying to tighten the lock nut.

oh well, you live and learn.

cheers

Hey guys just wanna add to all the praise for this, i installed today on my 180sx and wow! its awesome, spools so much quiker, no spiking and much better response from my car all round, also great service! Thanks mark.

[simark87]

Thanks mate, glad you like it

P.S i still have a number of payments without reference nymbers that nooen is claiming ....

[Bazelinez]

I do have one problem with the controller Mark, its upped the power and had caused my clutch to slip hardcore in 4th, might have to fix that he he.

Still not over it, took it to work today, what a difference to before. (when the clutch grips)

hey bazelinez, do you have any pics of your install?

[whiteknight]

is anyone else experiencing the problem dee33 is having with boost spiking from 15psi to 18 psi? cause i bought mine already and cant wait to put it in but just worried of this happening to me cause im already on 13.5psi with stock turbo and dont want any spiking.

[Bazelinez]

Nah I can get some on the weekend though...

I can explain it for now.

You'll have to remove the two intercooler pipes between the turbo and the carbon canister to be able to get access to the wastegate actuator. I unhooked the hose from the wastegate actuator and then plugged this into the bottom of the boost controller. I then ran a length of fuel hose (what I had) from the side nipple on the boost controller to the wastegate actuator.

The controller sits up right next to the passenger side strut tower. Took me a little while cause there is zero room to move near the turbo.

Just took it out after that and it was just a matter of fine tuning. Be warned it does locate the boost controller within 8 inches of the exhaust housing and that gets hot after a couple of runs.

A better idea might be to get a joiner thing that you can join two hoses together to bring the controller further away, might help in the fine tuning stages. Either way, it works fine and is well hidden out of prying eyes. If the boys wanna get down there to have a look they can be my guest he he

EDIT: tried to get pics but you can't see anything, there's too much crap around it. Follow the instructions and you should be fine, its pretty straightforward.

hey man, the sample is in page 4 &5 (i think). just flick back a few pages, and you will find it there

Run lower base boost then even if you get a spike you will save ur turbo exhaust wheel from ending up in your cat.

Got mine yesterday will install it in the turbo diesel and see how it goes.

i'm getting mine soon.. I cant wait. However, I got a question for you guys.. I have a R32 GTS-T, and I've done no mods to it except a pod filter and a boost gauge. Its running 11psi at the moment(I have never boosted it).. What do you think i should boost it up to, keepinging in mind i got the stock intercooler. I dont want to blow the engine or the turbo so any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou guys.

[Cubes]

11psi already?!?!

I wonder if you are missing your cat guts.

From others that I have seen with a stock exhaust there is literally zero gain by upping your boost UNTIL you fit an exhaust.

personlly, with 11psi and the stock intercooler i wouldn't increase it at all just yet. on an rb20 i think 12-14psi is safe if you have a FMIC but you don't

really, its up to you - its your car

[Angry]

14psi is great........ fitted mine today.. didnt expect it to run 14psi ... but gave my a surprise when the boost came in.. and fuel cut got me in 2nd

its still dropping psi off at top end like b4 ..bout 2-3psi after it makes full boost..not too fussed.. only stock turbo ....got it back to 12 ..goes nicely. no fuel cut yet ..

Angry...

What turbo are you running?

I've found the stock RB20DET turbo has issues holding more than 12.5-13psi.

A nice free flowing 3.5" does help quite a bit.

The Rb20DET turbo on the rb30det has issues holding more than 9psi.

So its definitely a turbo issue.

[FATAZZ]

i had mine on 14psi just wound it down abit coz i was gettin wheel spin from 1st - 2nd n 2nd -3rd with 225s n auto

[Cubes]

Don't be weak..

Bump it up and use your foot to control wheel spin.
