So are you saying that the new design reduces lag after a gear change? I've been noticing lag on changes lately...and I dislike it a lot :)

It could probably be tuned out, but if the hole in the boost controller isn't helping, I might get the newer 1...

have you got the hole in yours?

as far as i know, the hole should actually reduce lag on gear changes.

i'm feeling the lag too, but mine has no hole. i might put one in it.

Hey guys i was mucking around with my controller and i took the screw out and the ball and screw came out.

When i put it back together, does the ball bearing go in first then the spring, then the screw? or other way around?

cheers

sorry i havent read all 64 pages before maybe the first 10 or so but didnt find the answer. so just a few quick q's if anyone can help

1 - are these still available ?

2 - are they a boost controller that gets rid of the original solenoid in the r33 so u can run whatever boost your car is capable of?? (sorry 1st turbo car so not 100% familiar with the system)

thanks

the r32 guys run more boost, but as far as i've always known, 12psi is the limit on the R33 turbo...anymore is pushing it further than you may want to....and not sure they make any power past 12psi anyway...where's paul when you need him

Just for some more feedback,

I have scince bought a new car and ordered another one of these, the new one does not have a hole. In the process of tuning the car I was monitoring the boost.

I am running a sliding performance RB25 hiflow turbo on an RB20 pushing 230rwkw. The boost controller was set to 17psi. The controller held boost so well it looked like a flat line. it was as good as the EBC that came on the car when I bought it. Infact I took off the EBC and sold it for $350 as the turbotech did the same job for $30 and could be hidden in the enginge bay and there is no solanoid or electronics to fail.

Gotta love it.

    • Hey team,  The clutch on my newly bought 25 swapped r32 feels average and sticks half way. Went to go order a new clutch master but it does not look like the ones that suit the one that’s in the car…    does anyone know what clutch master is this just by looking ?  (The feed is on the side rather than the bottom like the ones the pop up online)  thanks guys new to the RB scene so any help is appreciated cheers !!
    • Id be more than happy to sign up!!! Where do I send the invoices for my fuel usage? I'm happy to provide the mower, oil, and the labour to abuse the motor, just a little help on fuel would be great...   I had tipped the container of oil out into my big "drip tray" and left the small container upside down to drain the oil out of itself overnight. PIcked the container up today, and it has a layer of what feels like either dirt, or shit tonnes of carbon in the bottom of the container. I'm leaning towards it likely being dust, as I doubt the quality of the Sunli BumbleBee having a decent air filter on it, and sections of my yard produce a dust storm, especially because of the high lift blade!   So, filled her up with some fresh Nulon. Seemed to run fine, but it seems to want to run at really high RPM (higher than normal) even with the governor spring slacked off after fire up to try reduce it. If I back the throttle off it a bit to drop the rpm to where I'd like it to be when mowing light grass, it starts to blow a bit of smoke out the exhaust. Opening the throttle back up clears that out. It's definitely breathing oil, as I put my hand down at the breather hose and it's spitting some oil.   My guess is it having been running at high rpm, oil never changed, and it eating dust has destroyed the rings. You know what that means? Time to send it!!!
    • That is what will seal with the bonnet closed. Follow it down while closing the bonnet to see where it ends up with the bonnet closed. The panels don't do anything other than spending money, which this one will do just fine. :p
    • Nah just send me a photo or a drawing and I'll tell you which is better.  It's a new SAU service.
    • Yes, well, one or the other. On R32 (which is the only thing I can look at personally) it's on the rad support panel. You have neither, and it will need to be on one or the other. I must say that the arrangement of holes perhaps looks more like it lives on the bonnet underside on the R34. The rad support panel doesn't look like the R32 one at all. A quick google shows....
