the thread is 31 pages because people ask the same questions. wait till you get the boost controller, it comes with instructions. if they arent good enough, then come back and read the thread in reverse (im sure people have given install instructions many times in last 5 pages alone)

Have read through most of this entire thread and saw only one comment on using these on a car with twin turbos and twin waste gates. Said to run the boost from both turbos through this controller and then to the two waste gates. Will this controller be able to handle this or will it be restictive. Please only reply if you know the answer and not assuming.

Thanks in advance, Kevin

Kevin,

One pressure input is required into the valve, the outlet is run into a t piece which branches off to both actuators. 100% works superb! Try and keep the combined length of hose as short as possible for better control.

Bought one of these today, great construction and a great price too! Just checked what boost I am currently running on my car, and it's set itself to 10PSI instead of the 14 I had it set to! Stupid GFB bleeder!

Hopefully this does a better job than the GFB that will be for sale soon :P

or a slap in the face

at default, mine was dropping boost (up to 8 then down to about 5), then we turned it up and now its about 9.5 and only spiking to a tad more, maybe 10. will be getting another for my other car :(

I retail them from Mark, TurboTech. A lot of people are mistaken that I designed or manafacture these, which I don't.

The reason I use them is I've found them to be excellent, almost no spiking and boost comes on as early or earlier than ANY EBC I have compared them too.

You can buy them from Mark directly, or through me.

i was around at the start when this whole turbotech craze began... except now my cars running fine n dandy! I'll vouch for the 'almost no spiking'

I've already made two of my mates buy one!

My fiddlings with this boost control unit is they work best with a lightly sprung wastegate actuator. :(

I have it drop less almost no boost on a 6-7psi rated actuator than I do my rb20det 10-11psi actuator.

:P

Just installed this controller today. Comments? No words could describe.

Screwed the bolt in JUST a little (was worried it would fall out!) and hit 16 PSI instantly. Backed off, went home, unscrewed it a bit and it's at 14-15 which is decent.

Only issue is, my SR20 only has stock injectors :) So I hope they hold this boost for a while! I don't plan on reaching 1 BAR all the time, basically only when I am racing at Calder park or something. Finally noticed my old GFB controller was MEANT to be set to 13-14 PSI, but it went back down to 10 after a while.

All in all, I don't think I could recommend a better bang-for-buck mod for your turbo car.

10/10 from me! ;)

see post #616 back the previous page (31) of this thread. i think its $35 including postage now which he's still kept cheaper for sau ppl than the ebay cost (42.40 something). ask him if u can go into a branch early tomorrow morning to deposit money, if he'll be able to send it out that arvo so u get it on friday.

maybe ask him if u can pay via paypal would be an alternative, as its instant.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
