Hey guys,

Has anyone heard from Mark lately? I brought a unit from him two days ago, emailed him twice and have heard nothing.. I need the unit by tomorrow as the car is going to the mechanics for a variety of other things and i wanted to get it all done.

heya, i ordered the part like a week and a half ago, and got the part yesterday in the mail.

was a little delayed but i suspect Mark doesnt get on the net very often.

hope you get it in time!!!

will be installing tonight i think

cheers

Put mine in last night and have a quick test today on the way to work. Apart from the boost a little high, it works awsome. Boost alot quicker and the BOV is louder. Ill adjust the boost after work and give it a good run. Awsome mod for $35!! Very happy here :happy:

I have to tell you how well with controller works on my skyline

got a 700hp gt3540 with a 38mm ext gate 3l bottom end

Went to C&V for a tune and everyone there was very skeptical about using that boost controller on my car with those kind of mods except the tuner Con who said "i will allways try something once"

We put it on and set it and the boost curve was just perfect. Con could not believe how well these boost controller works. The curve looks like something an eboost will hold.

So yeah if anyone wants to use this on a externaly gated turbo it worked for me.

A mob called JRD have copied the design and are flogging them of $5 cheaper than marks.

It says something about the quality of the design if there are already cheaper knock off's floating around

Competition, is good for us the customer.

Yeh i bought it off JRDSPORT top serivce and has helped me with aftermarket service on how to install as i was having trouble, i asked him what was the difference between his boost controller and turbotech, he said that his boost controller has a different spring rate for faster turbo spool. Oh well im happy. great product, great service and great price.

i bought one a couple of months ago but only just got around to putting it in. I still have to make a few changes but the one trouble i have is that it is overboosting really bad...

I put my foot down and it will go up 13 - 15psi then drop down and hold at around 9 1/2psi

I have checked the lines and they are about as short as i can make them with very little angle to any of them ??? any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers Leigh

same thing is happening to mine, plus ther is a sound that is awefully bad if i plant my foot down. if i slowly put it down then ther's not 2 much to worry about, but lets say i jus dcided 2 go pedal 2 metal for a gear....about 3000-redline its got a shredding kind of sound. Ive got a hi-flowed stock turbo, n was like WTF wen i put it in. great toy though :P would recommend to anyone and everyone!

So NewKleer do you know if there are two different spring rates and that sounds dodge as it ones fine and hte other isnt. I am going to set mine up again on the weekend with thicker hoses and make them even shorter if possible... hopefully that will fix my problem.

on the diagram above it looks like the bottom adapter on the boost controller below goes into the IC piping which is wrong. shouldnt it be the bit that points to the right ??? as such you can adjust the boost from the top ??? seems logical to me

anyways if i am wrong that would possibly explain my spikage but it just doesnt look right ???

The adjuster is what preloads the spring to hold the ball in place until it reaches the set level. So it needs to read boost from the bottom of the device not the side. It would be too complicated to make otherwise.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
