How can I raise the boost on the stock turbo 88 up to 9lbs. from its original setting? Its all stock right now. Thanks!

Use a boost controller.

TeamRonin

so there's no way of doing it without a controller, its what i really meant.

If you have an adjustable wastegate arm, you can do it that way too (threaded linkage). It's a slight nightmare to get to it in the Z31. That's why it's a lot easier to install a boost controller (electronic is 1000000% better than manual), so you can adjust it whenever you want. EBC's are much more accurate, control boost spikes, and can be adjusted from the cockpit while driving.

That's like asking, "how do you steer a car without a steering wheel?"

TeamRonin

The only stupid question is a stupid question not asked. Overall Im not fully familiar with the whole system and functionality of the z31 that's why it brings me to this site. So i can establish the same professionality such as ya self in this particular generation. For example when i was stationed in Japan i owned a 1997 nissan skyline stock and for adjustment to the boost could be done by a simple twist of one screw that was inside a electronical looking box. That's stock. So i figured maybe it could be the same situation here being the manufactorer is Nissan.

skib

nope.


if you want to turn up your boost go get a manual or electric boost controller.
and remember you get what you pay for on this one

TeamRonin

Thanks Skib! Greatly appreciate it.

Since I've never seen a 1997 Nissan Skyline, and you probably don't have any pictures of said device, I can only surmise that it's a boost controller.

Can I turn water into bread? If I jump off the coffee table, flapping my arms, will I fly?

skib

heres a piece of advice for ya... research your question on the internet in other area first. something like a boost controller can easily be answered anywhere wih a few clicks. if your still confused and its a tough question, ask the gurus. personally i think these forums are for head scratching problems...

and i'll follow up that advice with some more advice... CHECK post dates lol. this is almost a month old no one cares anymore haha

z31rider

well if you felt the need to look and post, im sure he will do the same. obviously someone cares.... hmm

SloppyGoat

Nothing, but it's just as ridiculous, IMO. Just being my normally partly sarcastic self. No sense of humor?

SloppyGoat

Can I add more boost without a turbo?

Weld the waste gate shut and run good fuel.
