lol no other controllers that I know of...I suppose anythings possible...but the hi stage boost was working ages ago....then it seemed to be spiking after 4500rpm by 2psi....So i thought the controller would fix it, as it eliminates the solenoid altogether, but it hasn't :cool:

I'm a bit concerned as I feel like I have lost power and acceleration since installing this, I'm hopinh it's not a result of wear caused by my fanging it around the past 3 days testing this controller and just generally having some fun. I'm going to put the hose and T piece back in and see if it makes a difference before I worry too much as the car is not blowing any smoke and is not making any weird noises, just doesn't feel as strong - that's even when i ran it on 9psi a few times. I should prolly try blocking those solenoid hoses first too.

Dezz: Just for the sake of it, reset your ECU?

yeah i might try that as well.

will be trying some other things out tomorrow night to see if we can work out whats causing the spike...

as for yours, i dont think 3 days of hard driving would have killed anything, unless it was already very close to dying

Ive actually laid off putting it on myself, i donno much about puttin stuff on, but after lookin at some pics im gonna attempt it tomoz :(

So i take it that you dont have to block the solenoid holes? Just the bottom tube which use to connect to the solenoid?

Oh, and is it safe to do this without an aftermarket boost gauge?

Yeh just boost it till it pings then back it off 2 psi, you guys realise that if you are running a series two, that the ECU will activate the rich-retard program when it senses overboosting. that is why your car feels like it has lost power. time to buy a computer.

Twisting the hose off seems to be a good trick, that usually works.

There's been many posts about how quick he gets back to people. Understand that he is a one man show with a new born and that he hasn't stiffed anyone yet. Be patient, you'll get your tap soon enough just like I did. Hammering this thread or his inbox will get you no-where.

For the record I am one of the most impatient SOB's out there so I know what it's like to wait, this guy has got a lot on his plate though.

Be patient.. I've had things take 1.5weeks to arive when sent by regular.

If you want it and don't want to wait pay the extra for express.

Yeah, I paid for express. Thus the impatience.

I'm not arguing he's got a lot on the plate, but even a "yes i got the money" would've been nice.

Hi,

I bought this controller a few months ago now but havent been using it becasue of my coils. Now I have my coils fixed I have installed it and running at 12psi. I was expecting the turbo to spool alot faster but I have noticed no difference. My turbo still hits full boost around 3800revs. I have a R34 turbo from a RB25 running on my RB20. The boost also drops from 12psi to 11psi at around 6700revs. Is this normal and is there a way to get my turbo spooling faster? Also does it matter how long the hose is from the turbo and the wastegate?

Thanks! >_<

don rb20's make max power at 6400rpm,

that may explain the spiking at around 6700rpm.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
