confused about boosting/ boost controller??

hi once again skyliners

i bought my power fc and i was told that i would need a electronic boost controller to ajust the boost but cant you just do it through the factory boost controller? can some one gimme the full run down on it and what needs to be done?

thanks guys :)

my car is a r33 gtst just incase no one else knows what i drive.:p

Factory boost controller? Never heard of that?

You can get an aftermarket one, and your good to go.

R33 GTS-T has a factory boost control solenoid on the strut tower next to the turbo. An Apexi Power FC will not talk to the factory boost solenoid as it is only an on/off setup which is stupid. Turbosmart sell a suitable solenoid which works great and is much more reliable.

how about the apexi avcr or the gizzmo ibc? which one is better.. the avcr is nicer i think but its double the price can u gimme some intel regarding it please.

thanks :)

For the money, I would go Turbosmart. Very good stuff!

hey skylineusa saw u online earlier. whats happenin and hows your cars any new mods yet?

im gettin my car dynoed tomorow, bought the pfc and boost conrtoller and ready to go..he's gonna tune it on 13psi should make 280 atw if im lucky he rekons ( smiles) lol... ill let un know what happens.. c ya.

Been doing body work on the wife's GTR, so I have not had time to work on the project car of late.

Let us know how your car is going. Post up numbers.

simply bypass the factory solenoid. I would go for the Apexi AVCR over the Gizmo controller

i bought the gizzmo its half the price and i find it fantastic. holds boost well and spool up function is great.

Got pics, numbers, details?

had a delay.. fitted the ebc but now its getting tuned tomorow definatley. il post numbers soon mate no probs. private message me aso we can talk some more, send me ur email addy or msn..
cheers skylineusa. (im getting nervous to see what power i make lol)

Cool.

It wont make 280Kw@wheels on the stock 370cc injectors. They are only good enough for 220Kw@wheels.

Source some Subaru WRX STi 550cc injectors, as they flow as much as the 'Nismo' 550cc injectors but are half the price ;)

370cc should be good for 300 rwhp, is that the same as 220Kw?.

dyno is done im pretty happy considering i got the stock cooler.. made 175rwk on 12.5 psi but it was a safe tune so im pleased. but it made 730nm torque!( im happy with that.)
made heaps of power throughout the rev range. the guy said if i had a bigger intercooler i woulda came close to 200rwk. im happy with it and il keep it like that for a while p.s: ( was tuned on a hot hot day)
so what is 730nm torque atw to engine hp? and would the power output change on a colder night/day? if someone knows can u please post.

thanks guys :)

Fat A/F and a little cooler air considering were you were at, yes it will make more power. Ballpark, 5hp more maybe.

I would just run the car like that. Good numbers, safe tune :)

Yes, 220Kw is roughly around 300Hp. Specifically, 74.3Kw = 100Hp

175Kw = 235Hp :)

730Nm of wheel torque is actually multiplied through your gearbox/diff. You actually made around 400Nm of flywheel torque depending on where the torque peaked. You actually made around 235Kw@flywheel which is a decent increase in power for the minimal mods.

thanks alot for the info guys.. very helpful and i think il leave it like this for a long time unless i go abit silly lol . just wanted to know if it would make a difference in power on a cold day or night? (thats my last question as i have probably been askin for too much)

thanks heaps guys :)

Fit a front mount intercooler and you will notice how well it goes on a cold night ;) The stock intercooler gets too much heat soak to notice much of a difference between hot and cold ambient temperature
