mine goes just past the next line . ok well what about the -7 on idle? i can definatly hear whistling when starting off (accelerating) where can i buy jubilee clips from? halfrauds? b&q? :-)

so IF the gauge was correct (which i assume its not) it should be going all the way to the +7 (roughly)? mine is one indicator line off the +7 (again naff dials) but i have noticed on idle the needle is 1 indicator mark from the left (-7) that could aslo mean a leak?

how far on my turbo gauge should the needle go? i have (diagram) | | | | | | | -7 . . 0 . . +7 my car was half way between 0 and +7 however after a couple of tightenings i go just past the next indicator (one more | before +7) i know that the gauges can be naff however i would still actually like to know regardless :tongue: cheers all

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Experience-Gizzmo-Ms-ib-t251028.html seen this on review regarding this boost controller... looks good. but shame it is only single solenoid.... back toi the drawing board

that looks very good and i will try to convince the wife to buy however after the postage it will be more like £200 again.............. i wish there were plenty of second hand ones at a bit more of a descent price :-) looks like i will have to wait longer....... ok so back to my leaks (which i can still hear) where can i buy some decent jubilee clips for the pipes?

ive done a search with filter for BUY ONLY and lowest price first http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/__electronic-boost-controller_W0QQLHQ5fBINZ1QQQ5ftrkparmsZ66Q253A2Q257C65Q253A15Q257C39Q253A1QQ_dmptZUKQ5fCarsPartsQ5fVehiclesQ5fCarPartsQ5fSMQQ_scZ1QQ_sopZ15QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14?_stpos=cm2%208ba&_fcid=3&gbr=1 going down the list what ones would be ok? there was one at £169 that looked small but don;t know if it will work with my car... do i need a controller with 2 boost solenoids?

high chances are that it will increase in bid value :-( otherwise i may do. need something delivered soon. i would go in the wanted section but no-one ever replies on the boost controllers because no one has any spare

looking at this it does not have a buy now option. the other one i ordered was out of stock and he did not update ebay...... needless to say im getting my money back..... however i have up to £150 this onth for a electronic boost controller (new or used) any ideas? ebay showed me 445 quid O.O

That is a good point. no i didn't drive however i did also have a thought of wether it would feel different in the passenger seat . maybe i need to sit in mine as a passenger :-) anyway i have purchased a boost controller..... now i need to find the leaks as the indicator won;t go all the way to the right and under revving (at low speed) i can hear whistling still (even after tightening the other pipes)

whats the ST stats?

i tried looking for second hand boost controller.. any ideas where one is so i can buy it? :bow: if i see one for that price i would snap ti up right now. but not good at finding things

I don't actually race people as it is as my car is not running right... i am trying to figure out 1. what my needle should read 2. how i set my car to 1bar of boost 3. when my car is running properly, how would it comapre to ST :D :nana2:

how far on my turbo gauge should the needle go? i have (diagram) | | | | | | | -7 . . 0 . . +7 my car was half way between 0 and +7 however after a couple of tightenings i go just past the next indicator (one more | before +7)

sorry i got it wrong... hear is the specs from mr sufc who sold it on here The car was imported from Japan Sept 2004 with 74099 kilometers on it. I bought the car about 2 years ago. In the time ive owned it ive done around 400 miles in it, in that time ive had a service done which includes cambelt, pulleys, tensioners, water pump and filters changed, had a hicas elimination bar fitted, had respray to stunning metallic blue (Colour found in MGs), put new alloys on it and done lots of various repairs and services. Ive had quite a bit of work done through MJP including a consult, which after a little bit of work is now showing as nicely running (work done through mjp). The car to the best of my knowledge is now mechanically sound and the body work / paint is lovely although despite respray there is tiny evidence of bubbling on rear arch... but i still have paint left over for whoever takes the car. New 18" alloys put on 50 miles ago. Other modifications it has on it are- HKS front mount intercooler system and performance filter HKS Super Drager CAT back single exit performance exhaust Stage 1 uprated ECU (good for 1 bar boost) Turbo Timer Cross drilled and slotted front disc rotors Immobiliser.

also i have a stage 2 ecu however MJP only set it to standard settings for the mean time. i also have a front mounted intercooler. once i find the leak how do i set up the ecu into the stage 2 settings for the intercooler? (i mean to use the most out of the new intercooler) is there a button to switch between the two modes or is it done via pc?

i've got some boost jets in but santa inspected them and said they look dodgy (they weren't even in properly and had leaks. My car has leak at the moment (jubillee clips won;t tighten properly and get to so much before popping loose again) At the moment i can dart to 60 but if i am still using full boost with the foot down i loose pressure for a second and the tubs build up again. I could start at 70 as i get to 90mph Very fast (until the boost leak - again) so if he can keep up with me until 60 and my pressure goes then he will most likely beat me. Santa helped me tighten some clips as i was getting safety boost levels however when tightening up some of the clips i get an extra | of boost on the gauge so now i have a feeling i need to find the last of the leaks.

Hi all, my matey has always wanted a focus ST and has now bought a lovely looking one. Been in it and it feels fast.. even with 5 peeps in the car the turbo on that thing really pulls. It feels quicker than mine however i didn;t know if this was because his is manual and my 300zx is auto. I know my 300zx is still fairyl quick except for it's boost leak at higher revs however i would like to know what these things are like compared to 300zx's anyone raced these. he is a nice chap and i have given him nothing but good comments with his car (as you do) however now he has gotten a bit cocky and demands i race him to 60 - 70 on the motorway. i'm starting to worry that this 5 cylinder hatchback is gonna either keep up with me or worse leave me behind. anyone had similar experience against a standard Focus St?

cheers matey:nana2:

ok. will do

ok so maybe i should add. uprated fuel pump, uprated oil cooler for gearbox (should do that anyway) however what should i do in terms of the autobox with this power. You have already advised me that my box xould fail even on standard power. What would be that best way to sort the box out? i know most people will say manual but my wife loves having fun in the car when she is out and about and would prefer an auto. what is an fast auto box gonna cost me?
