HI Everyone,

I have a Greddy ProfecB spec2 and the boost warning feature keeps coming on when whenever I get near 12psi regardless of what it is actually set at

I can rectify this problem by resetting the limit value down (to any value so long as its less and not more thatn the original setting) but that only lasts until I reach the set boost a couple of times and then it goes back to flashing the waring over 12psi or so.

The warning level can be set at 16 psi, but the warning will still come on as above.

I don't believe that boost is spiking as I have had it on a dyno and I monitor the boost guage regularly and it still controlls boost effectively.

I have played around with all of the settings but I am at a loss.

Has anyone else had this problem with their ProfecB or other boost controller? or can offer any suggestions?

I have a series 2 R33 GTS-t

Thanks for your help

what is your max/peak boost when it cut out?

The warning light comes at about 12psi, sometimes as earlie as 10.5 psi.

The problem doesn't seem to have any effect on the units ability to controll boost, its more of an annoyance that the unit keeps flashing and beeping.

if it doesn't cut out when the warning light flashing then check for loose wires! if live in the western area i can give you a had to sort it out, pm me if you need help! :D

What's the peak when you get the warning?

reset the peak, fang it... if you get the warning check the peak. It'll most probably have peaked over whatever it is you have your warning set at.

I allways thought that the warning light was only a warning on the pbs-2.Not a fuction that cuts the boost as well.

You can set the warning to do nothing. Red "Warning" mode screen, and a "0" setting (this sets it to do nothing).

Or you can set it to something by setting this to a number. Then basically, if the profec B reads a higher boost pressure then it will default the boost setting to whatever you had set on the red warning screen.

Yeah have exactly the same problem. Not sure what causes it yet. Had to set the boost warning 10psi over normal boost to avoid it. Also have the problem of over boosting when i floor it at anything over 3500rpm. Nothing i do with the settings will fix it. Really bloody annoying. Going to change to a jaycar one instead.

Gunna put the shit Greddy thing in my deisel van.

My Greddy Profec B spec 2 works fine. Really fiddly but fine.

I'm on full boost(13psi) just before 3000rpm (stock turbo) and it holds boost perfectly (see graph)

dynoPowerFC_psi_web.jpg

Mine holds boost fine too on normal spool up. But not when smashing it above normal full boost rpm. Dicked with start boost and gain. Can't stop it over boosting. And the warning is stuffed too.

At the moment the limiter is set to 0, so its not limiting the boost only flashing its head off.

Peak boost never goes above 14 psi and the warning is set at 15 psi

I have a black head unit.

I have no problems with boost controll as my dyno graphs will show either a spike or flat progression depending on how I set up the unit.

I Don't think that it is wiring as I can change the warning setting from 15.3psi to 15.2psi and it will only flash when 15.2psi is reached. But this only lasts till i hit boost 3 to 5 times (any boost ammount) and then it will start flashing on boost levels above 12psi?????

So when your is ebc off it boosts fine but when the ebc is on no matter where it is set it overboosts ridiculously.

Why is that.No matter what you have it set on. :confused:

I have the duty cycle at 32% which gives me a nice consistent 16psi on normal roll on spool up. But will spike up to 3psi when smashed above 3500rpm.

Also on the drag strip with around a 4000 -4500 rpm launch the peak boost for the whole run doesn't get above 13.5psi. Got me stuffed.

    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
