both of mine have been small enough (envelope express post) to fit in normal mailbox

my guess is maybe he simply is a bit short on stock? would be good for him to let u know if theirs a delay

Sorry don't think I could find any information on this during the 33 pages or so. Maybe there was just too much to read and I missed it.

anyway, my friend has a WRX and I'm trying to find out for him if he would have any problems fitting one in. I noticed most of you guys are increasing boost to 14 psi or so, but that is stock for WRX, is there much room for improvement for him or would he be better saving his money and getting an electronic one?

P.S. had anyone gone over 14 psi with any problems or spiking?

thanks

Maybe someone's jumped onto this idea and is acting as a seller of the boost controller to get people to pay

him $35 each. Might not sound like much, but if 100 turbo boys pay him 35 bucks, that's $3500!

I'll give it another week before getting serious about it, but it's already been much longer than required to receive the payment and have sent the item.

Either this guys really busy, really slack or really dodgy.

I got one of these not that long ago and found mark to be anything but 'really dodgy'. After the first one he sent got lost in aus post over xmas he immediatley sent out a second one for free, which turned up in my letterbox 2 days later. I hope that is some reassurance for you all, give him some time guys...how long has it been??

Funny you ask, I just heard back from him now!

Sounds legit, and I apologize for suggesting otherwise. In my defence, though, there ARE a lot of dodgy people flying around on the 'net.

Sorry Mark, we'll work it all out.

Yep, I believe I've made reparations above for previous suggestions.

That said, it wouldn't be impossible for someone to create a rogue e-mail account and use it to get in touch with people for the purposes of ripping them off for parts money.

Which is another reason why I'm peddling the picture inclusion idea in the 'for sale' section.

Thanks anyway for the criticism.

i ordered mine laste week and got it yesterday, so mine was a good clean transaction, but i got no instructions either...can someone do a guide on how to do it and sticky it to the first post or something, instead of sifting through 34 pages of comments

the instructions supplied were quite simple:

the boost controller has a screw/nut which pushes a ball in - the entry to where the air which pushes against the ball (the other end from the nut) is where the line from the compressor housing line goes.

the line in the middle of the boost controller (closest to nut/screw) is where the air that is let past the ball/spring goes, and it should hook up to the wastegate actuator

remembering how it works should make installation easy. as for any boost solenoids, i think most people have just disconnected them completely (i did on my r31) but you may want to check the last 10 pages of the thread, i think there was some notes about r33 installation

Edited by NewKleer

installed the boost controller today, seem simple,

but i keep geting high BOOST,

how do u reduce the boost?

tighten the bolt?

or releasing it?

i tried both, but still i can pass 16psi?

i did something wrong?

maybe installed it wrong? right angel t piece to the turbo instead?

any helps?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
