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

[Thunderbolt]

^^^ You could always try disassembling the unit and puting a softer spring in it. Would probably be a lot easier than getting a whole new boost controller.

I have one of these for sale in perth.

Only used once for 15 minutes.

New article on this unit on Autospeed today

Summary: "Anything that allows you to control boost pressure for around AUD$30 is a winning product."

I am member but sharing arctiles would put my account at risk. It is worth the $30 a year for an article every day.

They put one on a Galant VR4. It dropped off full boost a bit but this was probaly to size of the turbo was too small for that boost.

Please can someone post an install for an r33 rb25det!!!

I have been using the high boost solenoid mod until now, and was wondering if thats whats not letting me run the controller right???

Ive tried, but cant get the controller working right, and do not want to ruin anything

Please help me get my car running a bit more boost:)

Thanks

when installing on the R33 RB25DET do the following:

1. find the bronze/copper T piece that has 3 vacuum hoses attached to it one from the manifold, one to the solenoid, one to the turbo.

2. remove this T piece by twisting the crap out of the hoses till you have the 2 free hoses, one from the manifold, one to the turbo.. leave the T piece attached to the solenoid hose, you don't need this anymore..

3. plug the following:

vacuum hose coming from manifold -> bottom of unit

vacuum hose going to turbo -> side of unit

look at the picture!

Finished drawing it:

RB25DET_install.bmp

there you go.. that's all you need.. pressure comes from manifold, passes through bleed valve if the boost is enough, heads to the turbo (wastegate controller) and opens the wastegate to vent..

good luck..

Hey all,

I bought one of these little babies Friday last week, Mark had it to me by Tuesday. Excellent service, and it is as well made as all the other posts say it is.

Anyways, I bought some extra vacuum tube to fit it away from prying eyes in my R33, so i ended up ditching the stock 3" length of vacuum hose coming off the side of the inlet pipe (next to the airfilter).

I kept the T-piece and solenoid hose in place and fed another new section of vacuum hose to it, (from the other end of the Turbotech so it looks neater), so all that's visible is a vacuum hose running fron the inlet pipe, under my pod filter, and back up the other side to hook into the T-Piece.

Plumbed it all in and took her for a spin, and I was still hitting 5-6 psi (stock), so I wound the screw up a little bit and hey presto- Non-spiking 10 psi at about 2700 rpm.

As for the solenoid, I tried it plugged in and unplugged and didn't notice anything really different, so I left it inplugged.

Effectively my set up is exactly as shown in this link...

Someone's making a nice little bit of money..

Personally I prefer it out of the solenoid but I guess - whatever rocks your boat.. than again i'm only running 0.6Bar anyways.. where as the stock car runs about 0.66Bar.. but atleast it's spooled up by about 2,500 rpm..

had it up at about 0.75Bar but was finding the car would R&R..

Hey guys, still having a few issues with the tap........ive manage to get it to run w/o any spikes......but i dont think its working as its not raising any boost?running stock (reading from the factory gauge)???i'll post pics tommorow. By the way would the high boost mod have anything to do with this???

Just out of curiousity, +3.5 on the factory r33 boost gauge (where +7 is the max) would be how much boost in PSI????

Pull the controller apart and ensure the spring isn't caught on anything.

Mine has done this once resulting in no boost increase.

It actually occured because i backed off the controller then wound it back in, for some reason there was no tension on the spring as I could easily blow and suck through the in nozzle of the boost controller.

Obviously the IN is the nozzle that runs inline with the bolt adjuster thinga majig.

Cheers guys, just to make sure, when these rb25's spike, is it like a mad missing sort of noise that occurs?, cause i've wounded my boost down heaps so i get no spiking, but the other day when i turned it up a bit, second gear would run till the higher revs, where a missing/popping sound will occur....is this Spiking or something elsE?

Its definitely not a good sound:)
