What PSI are you running?

[Guest]

just wondering what your running and with what?

i got a boost controller for xmas and was wondering what i should run it on.

only mods i,v done so far is BOV and pod filter and exhaust.

i was thinking of running it on 14psi

[DRFVDR]

im guessing you have a 96 gtb based on sig..

14-16 is about right.. Is it a two stage controller for the TT system or nah

[Andrew NR]

It starts off at 12 PSI @ 2500 RPM and then gradually drops to 8 PSI @ about 5000 RPM. Pressure drop is at the same rate as the revs rise. ???

[Guest]

hey i just got a single solenoid controller.

yes i have a 96GTB

Andrew NR

you can get electronic boost controller for $100

on trade me from HDI aust.

sounds like your manual bleeder needs replacing

[zarnah]

your gtb should run about 14.7psi (1 bar) factory anyway.

LOL, the boost controller is only a few weeks old!

Nah, I think it's the turbo 'cause it's whistling quite loud and if I'm going up a hill at 2500 RPM and the revs go up only a tiny bit (say up to 3000 RPM) or not at all with my foot flat to the floor it will hold 12 PSI so there is no leak anywhere. I think it's the turbo being unable to produce boost (well at the levels I want it too) at higher RPM.

my GTB was running 11psi on the GTB block but i done a big end. only replacement i could get was a RS block. now its running at 9.5psi not to sure why.

im hoping my boost controller will fix that and put it up to 14psi

The RS block being a non-bspec, will flow significantly less, which is why you're not able to get the spool to make the boost.

as for me: 1990 BC5 GT (5MT) running 18psi

[Guest]

BD5A did 18psi on the secondary - prova ECU

[Joker]

18 here too but usually 10 psi (low boost setting) Apexi AVC-r

[zarnah]

how do you find the apexi avcr for boost control on the tt joker? I have an avcr that i bought for my bc5 but its running a link now so dont need it, never thought to use it on my tt

[Joker]

so-so installed it same time as turbo's and 2ndry has been a let down but lack of power = longevity in my book so I cant complain

[Guest]

was going to put the GTB heads on the RS block but didn't know if they would fit.

as i had to do the head gaskets on the RS.

18 psi sounds like fun i will have to save for a piggy back ecu

so i can run that sort of boost.

[zarnah]

ing to think maybe my bd5 rs has some sort of aftermarket computer, it looks like a factory ecu but doesnt have a sticker on it, just a sticker saying 'serviced by bla bla bla, removal of this sticker voids all warantys' and it has no speed cut and feels a bit gruntier than my brother in laws bd5, may have to wind up the boost and see what results i get wind the boost up and see what sesu

[Scoobydoo]

1 bar low boost, 1.5 bar high boost, controlled by a Greddy ProfecB SpecII - MY02 Spec C

[dubbedup]

7psi - wastegate pressure, - 93 wrx

What mod have you done do this BC5 to run 18PSI?

[dubbedup]

UPDATE:

11psi - T3/4, 550cc inj, 38mm w/g, fmic, flipped maniolfd, bov, pod and link G4 ;D

[NotAWhiteGTB]

I'm running 14.7psi absolute in my RA, runs mint. Absolutely no lag and has a zero spool time. Love it

[pl0x]

mhmm that means im running 30.7psi absolute, heaps of lag...

(i count primary turbo as lag lol)

Its a BC5 in looks only. Its been converted to 3 plug ECU.

I was running 18psi in my BF5 for a while, now running 16.

[funkytown]

18psi all day on the high flowed vf23, it wont push any more air.

Get me a garrett and that number might increase tho. Link G3, 555cc injectors and fully forged block

[aim]

9 psi. Don't really need any more than that personally

[Swindog]

16 psi low 20 psi high.

Have done 27psi.

Turbo good for 35psi.
