Josh Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 how come your going SMIC mate? im going to be taking my time and taking lots of pics so i can keep myself right lol. Fancy keeping the active spoiler active and I don't want hassle with the stock airbox. If I had a J-spec, I'd definitely go FMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with the results so far and just been taking my time in doing it. Only started it at 1pm lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 was hoping today i could get out and set up my boost controller properly and rise the oost, but think i would be better with a boat after the ammount of rain that feel over night and this morning has anyone set up a greddy profac B spec II boost controller before? is it easy/hard to do?

Ricky49 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well done hope all goes well with the new boost level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well done hope all goes well with the new boost level cheers bud, the hardest part i would say was doing the de-cats, all the bolts were still the origianl's so were all rusted and hardly moved, nothng a hammer and WD40 cant sort though lol. i decided to replace every single bold for the both decats so they are nice and shiney like the de-cats lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The boost controller is really easy to use. Once it's plumbed and wired go for a drive and just use the rotary knob to adjust the percentage until you reach the required level. Start low and slowly increase the boost. When I had my new exhaust and smaller diameter Decat fitted I had to increase the level and got it right after only 2 pulls. If you don't have instructions you can google them. Would recommend you set the peak hold function as it will save time scrolling through menus to see the peak level. I guarantee you will not be looking at the boost gauge once you hit 1.2 bar for the first time! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hopefully it stays dry today so I can go out and set up the controller its been plumbed in since I got the car but never set up. I have got a copy on the installation guide from the net, so will go by that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
