got my Turbotech, all in under a week.

put it in, no joke only took me 2 adjustments and its now holding at 10psi perfectly.! boost shoots up like a switch and just freezes on 10!

1st gear is a waste now since the revs shoot up so quick im only in 1st for about 1 second!

Best mod for under $50 EASY

He must be busy as. Never spoke to the guy, never replied to my emails. But paid him and the thing was at my door within a couple of days. Cant complain. smooth

Installed mine today and have been testing for about 2 hours :thumbsup:

I just can't get the boost down on it, it's currently pushing around 12 psi at about 90% throttle.

I've got the bolt in just enough so that I can see the spring only just move through the little hole.

I'm after about 9 psi.

I thought it could be a leak as the tube connections weren't so great so I used some zip ties and they're tight as now.

Heres some pics, does everything look okay? It's a 34.

One of the lines going into the solenoid goes to what I think is the BoV line, the other is blocked off with a screw.

The connection on the bottom of the controller goes to the nipple coming out of pipe that leads from the turbo to the intercooler.

The connection on the side of the controller goes to the wastegate actuator.

As far as I can tell it's all setup correctly, it just doesn't let the wastegate see enough pressure.

In the line coming from the turbo there is a brass fitting inside the tube, starting to wonder if this could be dropping pressure.

zappn where does the hose on the top nipple of the boost solenoid go? looks like that could be it to me cant really see but maybe its set up wrong. the hose from the opposite end of the controller to the screw should go straight to the intake after the turbo somewhere..like a cooler pipe or something, the side hose goes to the wastegate. follow the lines and make sure thats whats happenin my rb25 holds at 7psi atm as clutch is cooked, so 12 is a bit much. maybe neo is different the setup looks similar though

Oh dear ... I just lost the spring into my engine bay!! The ball bearing didnt get to far, but I searched everywhere for the spring and I cannot find it :) Any way of getting a replacement spring or am i just going to have to fork out again for another unit?

Wow, im a dumbass :ermm:

^^^ Just try to get a generic spring.

Length: it should be enough to hold the ball in place without too much preload while knob is out most of the way.

Stiffness: Nothing too stiff if you are running standard boost or a little above.

That is my opinion anyway. I am not liable for anything that may go wrong as a result of this.

      You know how I know I'm getting old? Because I feel this quote jells with me and SAU Forums, ha ha ha. I've gotten lost a few times as I had muscle memory to scroll to where I wanted on my phone and just click, now I'm lost... Ha ha ha     "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary."

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You don't lose spark if your battery isolator isn't wired correctly and the ECU still has power from the alternator.   Car has an epic wiring problem. Sounds like power connected really really badly in places. Possibly a power pin on a ground pin for the ECU, and constant power in locations that should be switched ignition.   It needs someone good at diagnosing electrical, a good multimeter, and someone with the wiring diagrams to match the engine loom that has been put into the car, and wiring diagrams for the body side of things from the car.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By PNM35 · Posted

      Hi folks, what options exist for PNM35 or what models share the same dimensions and fitment for the front top of tower strut brace. I have seen a few options pop up through Google, the Ultra Racing Australia for one. I have seen some eBay ones that claim they fit C34 and M35 but can't find details if to work out if its true. Also found Taiko / TEMA4x4 claim the one type fits: - Nissan Stagea (2-nd gen; M35) 2001 - 2007, - Nissan Skyline (V35, HV35, NV35, V35, PV35) 2001 - 2007 - Infiniti G35, G35X (3-rd gen; V35) 2002 - 2006 But not sure how true that is. Anyone fitted one or know of someone using one and can confirm what does fit?

      AC Compressor

      By Butters · Posted

      I got the full kit.   The compressor as above is much smaller and lighter.  Also quieter. Bracket is visually mint and much lighter. The dryer and heat exchanger(rad) are one unit. Also smaller and lighter.  Much more room for an oil cooler. The fan I got was a bit Meh and I might change it.   And above all else it is more efficient, tested a good 3-4 degree's cooler than the old system, which is a lot. Disclaimer though - It wasn't a back to back test given different days. It really does feel colder though(always).  And this example is in my car with that crusty looking old compressor, not new vs new

      AC Compressor

      I did not need to see this! With summer quickly approaching... Did you just get the compressor with the bracket or the full kit with fan and everything? In what way is different to the old OEM one?
