Update:
The 2006 SilviaWA dyno day gave me an opportunity to judge the effectiveness
of the boost controller. The car is basically in the same configuration as it
was for the 2005 dyno day, with only the addition of the boost controller and
the S15 side mount intercooler.
At the first dyno day, the car was running approximately 10 PSI (the stock
boost). At the second dyno day, I ran 12 PSI (what I have set as Hi Boost).
I was hoping that the extra 2 PSI would put me over the 200 RWHP mark. To my
surprise, it made 215.4 HP - an increase of 22.1 HP - a whopping 11.4%! Even
better, the power increase is fairly consistent, right across the rev range.
It would have been interesting to see what the power reading would have been
on Lo Boost - which I have set to the same level as stock - 10 PSI. As the
controller gets the boost kicking in earlier, my seat-of-the-pants impression
is that it may have read a little more than with the stock boost controller.
To say that I'm impressed is an understatement!
