I have a Apex i avc-r controler and even with the boost controler OFF and runing just of the wastegate it is pulling up to 1.7 bar. Idearly i would have it at around 1 bar.

Also i have an Apex i comp and when i look at the Knock level sensor it has reached up 94. Is that considered a bad knock??

Since the boost controler is off why is is boosting up so hard and how do i stop it before somthing major goes wrong??

Turbo is a HKS 25/30 with an external wastegate.

any help would be great. Thanks

ive got similar problems with a power fc boost control kit in a sr20 silvia at the moment there saying that its wired up wrong.. yet its wired up fine.. it just wont ****ing work properly :D

turbo is a GT35 tho.. with 48mm progate (i think thats the wastegate cant member)

problem might be if its a turbosmart wastegate.. not EBC that we have tried has worked with turbosmart wastegates.. how ever those cheap lil tboost's work fine

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
