Was boosting last night and something was suss...

Was spiking up 3psi!!!

Runs 15psi but was spiking up to 18psi when boosting hard in third.

Going to test again tonight to sus this out before making a final judgement on whether or not to put my GFB Bleeder back on which spikes 1psi.

Hmmm... seemed to work fine when I first installed it...

just a question are you still running it with the stock solenoid???

if your boost is spiking at higher revs in 3rd this could be attributed to the duel stage nature of the factory solenoid.

how do you bypass the factory solenoid ???

does ne1 have any instructions for this???

and does ne1 think that doing said modifications will break my baby???

Just a reminder to those who did not use a reference number when depositing for the boost controller. I still have 6 payments for which I don't know who they are from. To date, not one person has made contact about this

Cheers all

One of them is me! What do i do?

Just a note to people. Remember the number Mark gives you! I bought a controller off him and it arrived no problems.

He's doing the right thing by you so help him out a bit huh?

anyone got any installation pics on an R32 GTSt? I think I'm right but would like to see someone elses to be sure.....

installed mine today! Its running ~12PSI. Drops to 11PSI near redline though no fault of the boost controller more a turbo thing... Pulls very well, boost comes on no earlier but it does come on stronger. However I did give myself a 3rd degree burn on the dump after the runs trying to tighten the lock nut. :D

oh well, you live and learn.

cheers

I do have one problem with the controller Mark, its upped the power and had caused my clutch to slip hardcore in 4th, might have to fix that :) he he.

Still not over it, took it to work today, what a difference to before. (when the clutch grips)

Nah I can get some on the weekend though...

I can explain it for now.

You'll have to remove the two intercooler pipes between the turbo and the carbon canister to be able to get access to the wastegate actuator. I unhooked the hose from the wastegate actuator and then plugged this into the bottom of the boost controller. I then ran a length of fuel hose (what I had) from the side nipple on the boost controller to the wastegate actuator.

The controller sits up right next to the passenger side strut tower. Took me a little while cause there is zero room to move near the turbo.

Just took it out after that and it was just a matter of fine tuning. Be warned it does locate the boost controller within 8 inches of the exhaust housing and that gets hot after a couple of runs. :D

A better idea might be to get a joiner thing that you can join two hoses together to bring the controller further away, might help in the fine tuning stages. Either way, it works fine and is well hidden out of prying eyes. If the boys wanna get down there to have a look they can be my guest :D he he

EDIT: tried to get pics but you can't see anything, there's too much crap around it. Follow the instructions and you should be fine, its pretty straightforward.

Run lower base boost then even if you get a spike you will save ur turbo exhaust wheel from ending up in your cat.

Got mine yesterday will install it in the turbo diesel and see how it goes.

i'm getting mine soon.. I cant wait. However, I got a question for you guys.. I have a R32 GTS-T, and I've done no mods to it except a pod filter and a boost gauge. Its running 11psi at the moment(I have never boosted it).. What do you think i should boost it up to, keepinging in mind i got the stock intercooler. I dont want to blow the engine or the turbo so any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou guys.

personlly, with 11psi and the stock intercooler i wouldn't increase it at all just yet. on an rb20 i think 12-14psi is safe if you have a FMIC but you don't

really, its up to you - its your car

What turbo are you running?

I've found the stock RB20DET turbo has issues holding more than 12.5-13psi.

A nice free flowing 3.5" does help quite a bit.

The Rb20DET turbo on the rb30det has issues holding more than 9psi.

So its definitely a turbo issue.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
