Just checking, but have you done the other BPU mods? The only thing to watch for when sizing the restrictor in warmer weather is that when it gets colder the boost will increase further. The ideal way to do it is to set the restrictor ring size in the winter during a cold spell so you see a max 1.2 - 1.25 bar. Boost will then be around 1.0 - 1.1 bar in the summer but a BC can be used to bring it back to the normal peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_A Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Where did you get the RR from Brett? I seem to be running on stock boost even though my car has all other BPU mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Where did you get the RR from Brett? I seem to be running on stock boost even though my car has all other BPU mods Me too The RR is not an exact science and the boost levels they allow will differ from car to car I believe. So, as Homer said above, you can either keep opening it up until you get the boost figure you want or fit it as it is and use a boost controller so you can adjust the boost for different air temps to avoid spikes. I bought an "1.2 bar" RR from Envy but was only making 0.9-1 bar, so I fitted one of these and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_A Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I have a GReddy profec B which albeit isn't plugged in at the moment, going to sort that today though, so once this is up and running would it be worth checking that the car has the correct restrictor ring before cranking up the boost?

Jamesy Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Dont think it matters what one u have if your running a b/controller you can adjust it to whatever u want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 but I take it it'd be a good idea to check the restrictor ring as I didn't own the car when the exhaust was fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris and Alana Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 but I take it it'd be a good idea to check the restrictor ring as I didn't own the car when the exhaust was fitted Morning you woke me up and my dog your car makes almost 0.9bar at the mo so it really does not matter on what size restrictor ring you have. You have no cats and all other BPU mods so just get that EBC fitted and crank the boost up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Good, it's a saturday morning, no time for sleep! I had to drop Rachael off at the train station at 8:10am so if I have to be up that early then you're not allowed to sleep either! Just going to Hellfrauds now to but those plyers you were on about, going to get a ball joint remover tool too to change these knackered wheel studs, you free to give me a hand with the EBC one you've finished looking at used cars? Going on a road trip to the mountains to vist the shiney one thisafternoon also, if you're interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLease let me know if any one has these or has a link, Thanks every1 I have a restrictor ring. It has a 53mm diameter hole from memory and when fitted to my car alows it to boost max around 0.9bar on my DEFI boost gauge, although defi's do attend to read 0.1bar high by all accounts. I had two of these rings with the same hole diameter so this one is surplus to requirements.
