Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 3 stage electronic hybrid boost controller.

I no longer have the standard computer, I have a microtech lts 12.

Apparently i cant run the hybrid electronic boost controller through the microtech.

As the hybrid comes with its own solonoid i didnt think there could be a problem, but it turns out the hybrid runs off the standard computer boost signal and as a microtech has its own internal boost signal dosnt work off an external solonoid and there fore cannot be accessed.

That was basically how it was explained to me. I was told i can purchase a turbosmart eboost and it will work with a microtech.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the hybrid and the eboost and why a hybrid wont work with a microtech but an eboost will????

Has anyone had the same problem as me???

Thanks...................................liz

If anyone has a standard computer and wants to buy an electronic boost controller. The Hybrid electronic 3 stage is very easy to install and i have an R33 gts-t pinout guide.

It is brand new and has never been used. See for for sale section or PM for details.

Hi

My friend had the same problem but got around it by connecting it to his TPS but said you can also connect it to your Air Flow Meter.

Worked for him perfectly. (SR20DET)

It should advise above in the manual which came with it?

hi shrike,

What wire did he connect to TPS was it the orange one???

Also, what is TPS???

It was the boost signal i was having trouble hooking up to the microtech.

Hi Mate,

Sorry for delayed reply.

My mate said it is the orange wire but after i checked out a few sites about my car (R32) it states that you can also use the Boost Presure Sensor which is that little black box that the original Boost Gauge is connected to as this will give a correct reading.

If not you can connect it to the TPS.

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).

      A CigWeld EasyWeld 130 can be had from ebay for $360 delivered. Good for 0.6 to 6mm, which would be fine for my requirements. I guess that on top of that you would need to buy a regulator, hoses and wire. I already have gloves and an auto-darkening mask. How is the gas bottle charged? Do you rent it then pay for top ups?

      RB20 being an option from factory would mean no custom parts or fabrication required, just have to collect the right bits. Probably would be the easiest option I reckon for a motor swap. How common are SR20s vs RBs in Turkey?
