About the Boost Controller:

It's a ball and spring style valve. Comes with a brass ball and a spring that can hold 20psi.


PM if interested. It is 100% free, I will build and ship to your homestead.

Man i'd be all over this but i JUST got mine from egay.

_spyder 07-23-2012 12:01 AM

May I ask what you need the datalogs for?

viperormiata 07-23-2012 12:04 AM

Probably so he knows it's going to someone with a running car that will be able to use it and not just hoarding parts.

Do you take video as payment?

triple88a 07-23-2012 12:18 AM

Or someone reselling ----.

_spyder 07-23-2012 12:27 AM

Gotcha, does it just have a knob on it that twists?

I'm looking for something that is a little more accurate, with clicks or something. Mine is kind of all over the place and I have to turn, guess, turn, guess, etc.

triple88a 07-23-2012 12:29 AM

That's the one i have... Simple screw.

slmhofy 07-23-2012 12:31 AM

^ Agreed. My ball/spring is all over the place too. Sometimes half a turn is 1 psi and in other places, a 1/4 is a few psi.

triple88a 07-23-2012 12:33 AM

Now that makes no sense. What kind of a spring are you running in there? Also is the screw good?

slmhofy 07-23-2012 12:36 AM

Honestly it looks like the spring had been shortened or something. 8-10psi is like 1 turn and 10-13 is like a half.

Actually I can provide a MS log for one of these or get in line at least. OP, your PM box is full.

triple88a 07-23-2012 01:13 AM

Your spring is too stiff, thats why. The more you tighten it, the more it takes to compress it.

F=-kx

You want less k more x yet the F to remain the same.

Sorry fking account got downgraded since I didn't resubscribe.

I'm thinking about building like 100 of these and selling them for a tiny profit. I had one on my Miata back when it was turbo and it was so amazing I loved it.

Anyways I want some data so I can show people they actually work really well for the price, as long as you just need something basic.

These are the grainger valve style ones you can build off mcmaster carr for like $15. Just a screw type knob, I'll get pictures tomorrow maybe.

Clearing inbox now.

slmhofy 07-23-2012 01:32 AM

Is this going to be a bleeder type? I've heard these are better than just a plain ball and spring.

This ---- is legit.

It's easy as fk to build, so not really something I would try and sell on MT.net. Since it's so easy most people on here would just do it themselves.

Inbox is cleaned out now.

Got a real pic of the "grainger valve"?

Kinda think the T valve is better design.

FRT_Fun 07-23-2012 09:19 AM

Think all you want, proof is out there brah
https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo...-thread-43252/

plus it's free...

triple88a 07-23-2012 09:35 AM

The T valve is a ball and spring valve also. I dont see any one posting difference in performance from grainger vs T valve.
