pm sent, interested in getting one of these badboys !

Who did you send the pm to?

if it was simark87 then he probably won't see it cos he hasn't been here since 19th July, 2006 - 08:23 AM.

If you want one, they're on ebay under turbotech.

Dammit - lol - I just sent him a PM too!

I just sent him an email post number 52 says we can get them for $28 delivered, so I was just asking him about that not sure if he still uses that e-mail though.

I'll let you know if/when he gets to me if thats still the case for SkylinesAustralia members.

turbotech@aanet.com.au is his correct address.

They cost $37 delivered now.

hey all, since everyone seems to have drilled a hole in theirs, i went ahead and drilled mine as well. Not sure if its a little to big or not but it definately spools a whole lot faster.

Anyway what happens if the hole is too big?

And since the hole is letting boost get out to keep the wastegate shut, wouldnt that mean my turbo is working harder to create the same amount of pressure then if it wasnt drilled?

The hole is there to bleed the pressure between the actuator and the ball ONLY once the boost pressure drops to prevent the wastegate from staying open. due to the ball/hose/acutator creating a pressure vessel.

The downside to this is the hole will bleed boost like a traditional bleeder and as it tapers off at high RPM the boost will also drop off and make the controller less accurate.

This also means as some boost is bleeding off it would keep the actuator shut for a few 100ths of a second more. but would not make a difference in spool time.

My personal opinion is that the hole is not needed as it was in the original design and has since been dropped. I have used both and currently have the one without the hole and it holds a dead flat line for boost.

i was using mine with no hole too. it held boost great. had it on the dyno, showed a steady 10psi all the way till the end, then dropped slightly by less than 0.5psi. then i discovered i had a boost controller module connected to my unichip :D so i removed the turbotech, hooked the stock solenoid back up. set it to 10psi on the dyno, and it held the exact same boost pattern. needless to say, the turbotech was doing an excellent job. the only difference being, once i was back on the road, i discovered that the very slight lag on changes was now gone.

edit: also, one less defect in the engine bay :(

between 1 and 1.5 the hole needs to be if you drill.

are these the same as the jrd ones? on ebay???

i got one for my mate on his 180 and its bieng a pain in the ass. keeps spiking sometimes.

i noticed the spring inside is shit and gets bent and stuck. it this causing my boost spike problems?

and the difference between the two is?

we got a cooler on his lastnite and just plugged it all back up standard so its holding 9pound fine without that pain in the assssssss controler!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
