lol no other controllers that I know of...I suppose anythings possible...but the hi stage boost was working ages ago....then it seemed to be spiking after 4500rpm by 2psi....So i thought the controller would fix it, as it eliminates the solenoid altogether, but it hasn't :cool:

I'm a bit concerned as I feel like I have lost power and acceleration since installing this, I'm hopinh it's not a result of wear caused by my fanging it around the past 3 days testing this controller and just generally having some fun. I'm going to put the hose and T piece back in and see if it makes a difference before I worry too much as the car is not blowing any smoke and is not making any weird noises, just doesn't feel as strong - that's even when i ran it on 9psi a few times. I should prolly try blocking those solenoid hoses first too.

Dezz: Just for the sake of it, reset your ECU?

yeah i might try that as well.

will be trying some other things out tomorrow night to see if we can work out whats causing the spike...

as for yours, i dont think 3 days of hard driving would have killed anything, unless it was already very close to dying

Ive actually laid off putting it on myself, i donno much about puttin stuff on, but after lookin at some pics im gonna attempt it tomoz :(

So i take it that you dont have to block the solenoid holes? Just the bottom tube which use to connect to the solenoid?

Oh, and is it safe to do this without an aftermarket boost gauge?

Yeh just boost it till it pings then back it off 2 psi, you guys realise that if you are running a series two, that the ECU will activate the rich-retard program when it senses overboosting. that is why your car feels like it has lost power. time to buy a computer.

may i ask how the hell ppl got this t peice off? its so damn tight...

ive got my solenoid hoses off, but cant get the t peice off to shove in my boost controller... so am i pretty screwed right now?

Hey guys, i have made a VERY easy to follow step by step procedure with colour photos to install the turbotech as a word file... PM me if your intrested and i can send it to you...

Took me 5 min to fit it! 4min and 30 sec to remove the vacumme hose of the T piece (stuck on) then 30 sec to fit the Turbotech!

Cheers

cheers QRI05E and others, i finally got it on and its working great now, car feels alot faster :D!

I had to go buy some pliars cause using your hands to get those hoses off is like impossible... Pictures helped ALOT, i know nothin about cars and yet i still managed to get this thing on, goes to show how much help they were thx again all!

Twisting the hose off seems to be a good trick, that usually works.

There's been many posts about how quick he gets back to people. Understand that he is a one man show with a new born and that he hasn't stiffed anyone yet. Be patient, you'll get your tap soon enough just like I did. Hammering this thread or his inbox will get you no-where.

For the record I am one of the most impatient SOB's out there so I know what it's like to wait, this guy has got a lot on his plate though.

Cheers

Be patient.. I've had things take 1.5weeks to arive when sent by regular.

If you want it and don't want to wait pay the extra for express.

Yeah, I paid for express. Thus the impatience.

I'm not arguing he's got a lot on the plate, but even a "yes i got the money" would've been nice.

-mark

i got mine within a few days of payment, no 'thanks for payment" though just turned up, 3-4 days after given the Net transfer a couple days.

just think about that little bit of petrol you're saving >_<

Hi,

I bought this controller a few months ago now but havent been using it becasue of my coils. Now I have my coils fixed I have installed it and running at 12psi. I was expecting the turbo to spool alot faster but I have noticed no difference. My turbo still hits full boost around 3800revs. I have a R34 turbo from a RB25 running on my RB20. The boost also drops from 12psi to 11psi at around 6700revs. Is this normal and is there a way to get my turbo spooling faster? Also does it matter how long the hose is from the turbo and the wastegate?

Thanks! >_<

don rb20's make max power at 6400rpm,

that may explain the spiking at around 6700rpm.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
