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

[Cubes]

nope.. just saying what the hole is there for... The new design doesn't have the hole so it must have an internal hole to vent back past the ball or something.

[Munkyb0y]

So are you saying that the new design reduces lag after a gear change? I've been noticing lag on changes lately...and I dislike it a lot

It could probably be tuned out, but if the hole in the boost controller isn't helping, I might get the newer 1...

have you got the hole in yours?

as far as i know, the hole should actually reduce lag on gear changes.

i'm feeling the lag too, but mine has no hole. i might put one in it.

Mine has the hole

Hey guys i was mucking around with my controller and i took the screw out and the ball and screw came out.

When i put it back together, does the ball bearing go in first then the spring, then the screw? or other way around?

cheers

sorry i havent read all 64 pages before maybe the first 10 or so but didnt find the answer. so just a few quick q's if anyone can help

1 - are these still available ?

2 - are they a boost controller that gets rid of the original solenoid in the r33 so u can run whatever boost your car is capable of?? (sorry 1st turbo car so not 100% familiar with the system)

thanks

[hayden49]

Yeah pal, you can pull the electronic standard solenoid out and use this.

Standard turbo is good for 14 psi but im pretty sure the standard computer turns to rich and retard mode after 12 psi.

cheers

[dezz]

Pretty sure the standard turbo is only good for 12psi....anymore and you're really pushing it...expect to be buying a new one sooner rather than later

[SS8_Gohan]

i thought the R34 turbo was the 12psi max, and the R32 and R33 could take more punishment?

[dezz]

the r32 guys run more boost, but as far as i've always known, 12psi is the limit on the R33 turbo...anymore is pushing it further than you may want to....and not sure they make any power past 12psi anyway...where's paul when you need him

[gazza750]

well i just bought one for my r this morning will see how it goes when it arrives

[CEF11E]

Just for some more feedback,

I have scince bought a new car and ordered another one of these, the new one does not have a hole. In the process of tuning the car I was monitoring the boost.

I am running a sliding performance RB25 hiflow turbo on an RB20 pushing 230rwkw. The boost controller was set to 17psi. The controller held boost so well it looked like a flat line. it was as good as the EBC that came on the car when I bought it. Infact I took off the EBC and sold it for $350 as the turbotech did the same job for $30 and could be hidden in the enginge bay and there is no solanoid or electronics to fail.

Gotta love it.

[NYTSKY]

Where can i get one?

And does it come with install instructions?

well i fitted mine this arvo and it works a treat set @ 1 bar i can feel the difference compared to my old grid ebc whick only worked intermittantly car is way more responsive now boost comes on a lot erlierand stays full boost til 7400 then drops down 0.1 bar

[D3LTR33]
