dezz Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73375-i-found-a-good-cheap-boost-controller-for-22/page/57/#findComment-2488290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Crust Racing Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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?

dezz Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73375-i-found-a-good-cheap-boost-controller-for-22/page/57/#findComment-2491387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JieLine Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 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?

BezerkR32 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 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.

dezz Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 the hoses are very tight...if you have replacement hose, slit the current ones so they'll come off easier Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73375-i-found-a-good-cheap-boost-controller-for-22/page/57/#findComment-2501673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubes Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've had to use plyers in the past, sometimes you damage the hose but if its stuck its stuck. Rip the sucker off.

nukeleer Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Anyone got a contact number for this guy?

No Crust Racing Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 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.

Cubes Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Be patient.. I've had things take 1.5weeks to arive when sent by regular.

HR32_GTS-T Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 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.
