Guest Ninjamin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 This has probably been answered but i can't seem to find it. I recently purchased a 6 speed TT that needed a fair amount of work on it. After getting it running and up to par, I am stuck on what i should set the boost controller at. When i bought it, it came with an apexi avc type R boost controller and everything was reset when i put the new battery in. I don't know much about this boost controller, or how much boost i should run in my car. I want it faster than stock, but also i don't want to worry too much about things breaking. I have access to a dyno if that means anything. Please help out with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Is it J spec (import)? What work has been completed? 1.2 bar is the normally accepted absolute maximum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ninjamin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 When i got it the left rear CV axle was snapped. I replaced that and have done some body work on it. nothing to the motor besides replacing the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ninjamin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm still a newbie with the supras so i'm not sure how to know if its a j spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Ok Just noticed you are in the US, which will mean you are running a car similar to our UK/Euro spec cars. Boost can be slightly higher than a JDM car, but not by much. i would advise only lifting the bost to around 1.0 bar until you are used to it, and then a max of around 1.2 - 1.3 bar. Is the car fitted with an FCD (removes fuel cut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ninjamin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 To be honest I don't know if it is fitted with that. How do i find out? Do you know much about the Apexi Avc type R boost controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaisar Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 To be honest I don't know if it is fitted with that. How do i find out? quickest way is to up the boost to 1.2 bar and see if the car will reach it. If it doesnt get there and the car feels like its applied the brakes hard or hit a brick wall then that means you havent got one ...or you could check by the ecu in the passenger footwell to see if there is one there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ninjamin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I think i would have more fun with the brick wall one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
