Dezz - which way do you have it plumbed in.. from the sounds of it you've put it in line with the solenoid.. once you hit 4,5000 it shouldn't make any difference if you've got the solenoid T-piece pulled out..

Take a photo of how you've got it plugged in and we'll take a looky.

I'll get a photo of it tomorrow...

its coming off the stock nipple, because my fmic uses the stock piping...so its under the airbox...

stock solenoid has no hoses going into it, and is disconnected at the plug

Hey dezz, did you sort out that issue? Very curious to see what's causing it.

I just installed mine tonight, on lowest possible setting for testing. It ran 7psi and slowly creeped up to 8psi by about 5000rpm. Although i dont think it was due to the factory dual stage. I'm thinking maybe the turbotech wasnt meant to hold such low boost.

When i get a chance tomorrow, i'll set it to 10psi and see how it holds.

sorry Fugi, not sure about r32 setup.

i set mine to 9psi today, and seemed to hold steady, although daytime traffic etc, and only really tested it in 2nd. so far so good.

i used the standard hoses, and just replaced the T piece with the turbotech, blocked the line that was going to the top of the solenoid, and remove bottom line.

can post pics if anyone needs them (R33).

Thats ok, i just wanted to see if someone could help me out so i didnt have to use trial and error. i will post up my findings cauz no one seems to have installed it on a r32 and taken picks. i will post soon.

Thanks

hey, on my r33 i had mine wound out so it would only make 6psi or so where the actuator opens. driving around tonight when i came from a bit of acceleration to a stop quickly she'd stall...im guessing this may be the cause as this is the only change ive done other than the new intake...

i'd be looking at the new intake. more likely to be that rather than the boost controller, since the boost controller isnt doing anything when your off boost.

new intake as in what? new pod? new intake pipe? new plenum? has your afm been messed around with?

I've tried contacting mark through ebay,email, and through pm on this forum but still no reply, anyone else know how to contact him?

Dont wanna sound cheap but why pay $37.40 on ebay if i can get it for $22...

Hey all as per my post i think like 20 pages ago i managed to get mine working and it has been going strong alot better than my previous turbosmart pos. Anyways i have upped the boost to around what i thought was 11psi. After doing some high load runs i found that it was getting up to a max of 11.6psi at 4500rpm and then worked its way down gradually till 6800rpm when it was down to about 9.8psi. I have checked the lines and they are as straight and short as i can make them. Other than maybe trying to shield the BC from the engine bay heat do people have any other ideas on what i can do.

Summary is below

4500rpm - 11.6psi

5100rpm - 11.1psi

5700rpm - 10.7psi

6300rpm - 10.0psi

6900rpm - 9.8psi

PS i know it's a cheap boost controller and can't expect the world but 1.8psi is a fair drop.

      R32 clutch master cylinder

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hey team,  The clutch on my newly bought 25 swapped r32 feels average and sticks half way. Went to go order a new clutch master but it does not look like the ones that suit the one that’s in the car…    does anyone know what clutch master is this just by looking ?  (The feed is on the side rather than the bottom like the ones the pop up online)  thanks guys new to the RB scene so any help is appreciated cheers !!

      Synthetic oil versus conventional oil

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Id be more than happy to sign up!!! Where do I send the invoices for my fuel usage? I'm happy to provide the mower, oil, and the labour to abuse the motor, just a little help on fuel would be great...   I had tipped the container of oil out into my big "drip tray" and left the small container upside down to drain the oil out of itself overnight. PIcked the container up today, and it has a layer of what feels like either dirt, or shit tonnes of carbon in the bottom of the container. I'm leaning towards it likely being dust, as I doubt the quality of the Sunli BumbleBee having a decent air filter on it, and sections of my yard produce a dust storm, especially because of the high lift blade!   So, filled her up with some fresh Nulon. Seemed to run fine, but it seems to want to run at really high RPM (higher than normal) even with the governor spring slacked off after fire up to try reduce it. If I back the throttle off it a bit to drop the rpm to where I'd like it to be when mowing light grass, it starts to blow a bit of smoke out the exhaust. Opening the throttle back up clears that out. It's definitely breathing oil, as I put my hand down at the breather hose and it's spitting some oil.   My guess is it having been running at high rpm, oil never changed, and it eating dust has destroyed the rings. You know what that means? Time to send it!!!

      That is what will seal with the bonnet closed. Follow it down while closing the bonnet to see where it ends up with the bonnet closed. The panels don't do anything other than spending money, which this one will do just fine. :p

      Yes, well, one or the other. On R32 (which is the only thing I can look at personally) it's on the rad support panel. You have neither, and it will need to be on one or the other. I must say that the arrangement of holes perhaps looks more like it lives on the bonnet underside on the R34. The rad support panel doesn't look like the R32 one at all. A quick google shows....
