Gaz Walker Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I have the SBC ID set up on channel 1 with volume to 58 and gain to 5 - this sets the boost to 14.1-14.5psi I don't hit boost cut (boost warning is at 14.5, dials back boost when hit) The cats are still in running stock exhaust (to be replaced asap!) Also, I am getting a weird noise (only occasionally) when the 1st turbo spools at 1800 rpm+ Its strange, kinda sounds like like something clicking very fast - this happens when its set to Channel 1. When I turn it off it never makes the noise? I followed the install instructions off MKIV.com... Any ideas? Cheers Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 If it's anything like the Blitz DSBC, you can hear the solenoids clicking away when the units switched on. (Or at least I could when it was mounted to the inner wing, now I have mine mounted to one on the intake pipes and I can't hear it any more ). So, I expect the noise you can hear is the solenoids working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 Thanks Matt... But why is it making noise when the first turbo kicks in? Doesnt it control boost on the second turbo only? Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Mine does the same had me quite worried!I thought the dump valve was leaking due to the higher boost! But Justin and Kevin at Torqueic identified the solenoid as the 'culprit'. So I can stop worrying now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, the solenoid on the Blitz is considerably larger! Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Very loud! Though the worse feeling is it might be losing you power!! As Matt said I may move mine or theres a small outlet on it that I was going to attatch a rubber pipe to see if it cuts down the noise.

Dragonball Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Can anyone please post a pick or directions to where this can be sited so as to negate this noise? Clicking and rattles etc will drive me mad! Cheers Paul:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I've got mine installed and working for over a year now.... due to only having one working hand at the moment I can't be arsed to type out what I've done...but PM me if you want my no. to give me a ring... for starters a gain of 5 is fine...but mine is set to 30! The sbc-id has different settings to the dsbc (even though they are called the same. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing with the other hand? I long as the clicking is normal I'm not worried... Thanks for the offer tho Alex for starters a gain of 5 is fine...but mine is set to 30! The sbc-id has different settings to the dsbc (even though they are called the same. I still have my cats in... that should make a difference? Gaz.

Darren Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Took my second cat out the other week, still have the first in. Def worth it. But if you took both out you probably wouldn't really need the boost controller cos you would be pretty close to 1.2 anyway. Atleast with the controller you can turn it up and down.

Matt Harwood Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Depending on what exhaust you have, with both cats out, you can get 1.5+! Leon used my boost controller to try to keep it DOWN to 1.3 ish I still fitted a restrictor plate which brought it down to 1.1, and now use the DSBC to get back to 1.3 for my more 'enthusiastic' moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I mangled my left hand under a lump of steel...joy of joy's...just to answer that one. I found that my decat add nothing...bar a bit of midrange. But it took away alot of heat. I had the sbc-id in for about 6months before i decatted it. With a decat i run 30 set and 32 gain. I hit 1.36bar max....unless its reall cold. I ran 55set before the decat but didn't need to go so high afterwards. My advice would be to get an egt gauge and use that to govern your boost...I'm not but I know deep down this could be a costly mistake.

Gaz Walker Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 Next mod is an EGT guage, then the de-cat and exhaust Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 with any boost controller solenoid on a tt supra you must mount it as close to the turbo as is possible. I mounted mine by the air intake....which is noisey enough to drown out most things.....could have put it closer but i didn't know at the time that that was best practice.
