DIY Electronic Boost Controller Install

[@flynnstone13]

10 years later, and this is still my top favorite MCM Video.

9:05 “mechanical stig shows us a trick he learnt when he was a teenager” *makes a bong*

9:01 for those who want to hear the actual line this incompetent fucktard quoted and then added a time tag of just after it's actually been said.

The first episode I ever saw from MCM! I was searching for an electronic boost controller at the time, found this episode and ordered a GFB boost controller afterwards. Today I just got delivery of a GFB Blowoff valve! Great products and MCM are the best!

[@pasindugamage2647]

Starlet is such a wonderful car ❤️

[@skiddybop780]

I own a starlet with a TDO4 turbo on it running about 200bhp. surprised me that you guys chose this out of all the turbo cars you could of got. they are nippy beasts though. especially with a TDO4 on.

[@PrendaBlaqueMusik2]

or with a TFO35

Jeremy Cheshire its not surprising at all, Marty loves tiny cars.

[@Brock_Landers]

I really enjoy this episode. I love all of the episodes where y'all do technical how-tos on anything performance related, especially on cars that I've never seen before. I live in the US near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and obviously I've never seen a Starlet, let alone one with an Evo body kit. Was I the only one that noticed that the car had different types of spark plugs in it? I didn't read all of the other comments but one spark plug was a NGK Iridium and the other was a Bosch Platinum. That MIGHT have an effect on performance. Anyway, great show as usual. I am a huge fan of MCM.

[@stevephillips8719]

I'm restoring my 4efte powered Fiat X1/9. I blew the motor about 6 years ago and it's been parked up. I've got the greatest respect for these little motors. They are tough tough tough. Mine peaked at 130 bhp at the rear wheels. Just had Ross forged pistons, 2.5" exhaust (straight thru) and a Microtech ECU. No extraneous paraphernalia as the car is 1979 and doesn't need the pollution bits. It would easily keep pace with WRX STI. In the straight and through the corners.

Australia's road laws are a complete joke, good on you New Zealand!

[@kiwisdontfly6362]

well yer its better than most countries BUT would you roll around with no INSURANCE

[@AndrewsMissin]

but in aus you only have to get one roadwourthy when you buy your car and thats it, in Nz you have to get one every 6-12 months depending on the year of your car

[@Riley_Falh]

@@AndrewsMissin this all depends on where you live, QLD is as you said but i know that NSW has to get roadworthy certs every now and then

[@WtfAreYouGonnaDo]

Andrew Missen lol it’s easy to get a Wof just go to a mechanic and they will pass you no matter what loud exhaust no problem bypass the government Wof stations😂😂

[@crazyg74]

Australia doesn't have unified road laws. In SA, we don't have periodic roadworthy inspections, nor do we need to have insurance (but you'd be mad not to).

[@KiwiPowerNZ]

Didn't know our car laws were so good, I thought it was like this everywhere. Oh well, anytime you need cheap dangerously powerful, uninsured cars to mod the crap out of, NZ. You don't need insurance but I'm not driving around without it! Fuck that!

[@ikebuttle360]

KiwiPowerNZ I get why it’s optional cos if you have a £100 shitbox and pay loads to insure it’s not worth it

[@ArchieBailey]

well, thats it, im moving to new zealand.

[@rubythestarlet6630]

I live in nz and got a 1.0L NA starlet at the start of 2021 as my first car for $500 bucks off the side of the road about a month before I turned 14 and its been running great no problems, so far ive just been driveing it on my familys farm and back roads but it is damn fun can't wait to make it better👌

Brendan Raymond the S15, and S2000 are good cars. Moog almost bought an R32 but didn't have enough

[@burrowssj]

those gfb controllers are awesome. I had an legacy rs for many years and one of the first mods I did was chuck one of these on. Boost came on so much faster/harder. ended up selling car, took off controller and man what a huge let down the factory controller was, I reckon lost 50hp without it. . ended up putting down 150kw atw with a leaking uppipe with that controller and factory grey injectors.

They don't have to have insurance on their cars? What about insurance for when you crash into someone and have to pay for their repairs?

If you dont have insurance here, you either just apologize or pay the whole fee out of your own wallet. Usually they will let you off, but it all depends on the driver you crashed into.

why do you think were voted the no 1 country in human freedom.

[@FullTimePRO]

Top Tip! That boost control solenoid is a MAC valve p/n 35A-AAA-DDEA-1BA (12.7 watt) which retails for about 30usd and is used for AEM, Autronic, Haltech, etc. Don't overpay kids, and if you want one with less power draw you can get the 5.4 watt model p/n 35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA.

[@ogopogoful]

this is kinda a cool tip. As soon as i saw the solenoid i said aem then they said gfb. I wonder if you could just get the controller/loom for cheap and buy the solenoid yourself.

[@FullTimePRO]

Haltech, AEM, and others sell this thing for over 100usd and if you noticed they all either replace or remove the sticker with the part number on it, crazy!

[@chrisaltwer5432]

you guys have some of the best music i have ever heard

I saw '16 valve EFI' and thought starlet. Im tryinv to get an ep82 mk3 gt turbo for my 17th -18th

[@TheXraxa]

I have an EP70 starlet with a 16v EFI, it's a good swap id recommend

[@TheXraxa]

And the EP82 is also a good car, the engine is built like titanic and you get more than enough power to start you off and theres a nice turbo whistle too, everything a teenager wants really

[@lukekindred1999]

[@thatoneguy454c]

I love my stock subaru turbo, it spools up super fast and it is pushing 23 psi peak and it will hold at 20 psi. Not bad at all. I'm also on a stock bottom end though so until change that I'm basically at the limit.

[@Jules-bass]

I think, when they removed the tires and added new ones they should have kept the plate (in the middle of the rims) off, because that's what made the rims ugly as hell

[@GabrielsTech]

My mom has this engine, but as a N/A in her Corolla. The 4EFE engine (4EFTE is in this Starlet). One of the best responding engines I've ever tried. My Carina E has the 4AFE (N/A) which is a 1.6, but still a 16 valve, 4 cyl, EFI engine just like the Corolla, but my engine has nothing compared with the Corolla, maybe a bit more torque, but not much more then that. Waiting for the Turbocharger to arrive in the mail in about 3 weeks! :)

[@King250sx-R]

I love these guys. No homo. So informative. I just got an hks evc 5 boost controller and wasn't sure on the entire install. Now I know exactly what to do. Question though....I have an rb25det and I think max is 12 psi and stuff goes bang if you go any higher. How is that little turd holding the same boost that makes mine go bang? Or is my rb25det more capable?

[@jcurtisnum1]

The stock internals or the Rb25det turbos are shit, the ceramic turbines tend to break at more that 12psi and a new ecu might help the factory one will limit boost like the one in that little turd =). Dunno about rb25 stock internals but the engine will be able to handle much more boost safely... how many 1.3 starletts are there drifting round? =)

[@King250sx-R]

Good point. Thanks.

[@remyche8768]

+King 250sx stock internationals are awesome. it's just the stock turbo that can't hold over 12psi

[@King250sx-R]

Remy Brennan I'm working on replacing the stock turbo, but at 10 psi with intake, exhaust, standalone, injectors, and coils my motor puts out 340 hp to the rear wheels. Okay it's actually 337, but I'm rounding up.

[@bassharvest]

yeah but thats most likely to happen i guess

[@PseudoKirby]

Marty if you like that starlet youll LOVE an SW20 MR2 Turbo

[@toypop96]

Pretty much, although as they explained in the episode, you can still save boost maps after the tune for various styles of driving. In that case, it would actually make more sense to get a boost controller after a tune.

[@12jamiegavin12]

No insurance sounds great until some kid in a $200 daihatsu cranes it into the side of your awsum 50 grand skyline and takes off

[@TheMuffinMan69able]

If you have a 50k Skyline you would be a fucking idiot to not have insurance...

[@callumhannaway7632]

DougiTheKiWi_HD In NZ that skyline would be around 15k for most models, 20-30k for a GT-R. Actually i seen a GTR R32 go on Trade Me (Ebay of NZ) for $9750, it had no problems and was in a dealership.

[@TheMuffinMan69able]

[@maxwellreddy5057]

I live in America, I think it would be cool to live with the Aussies!

[@youtubkeeper]

Only catch is that you are required to get a Warrant of Fitness every 6 months - this is just a basic road worthy test to make sure the car is safe. The good news is that these are fairly cheap and the yearly registration fee is also pretty low. I'd be happy if they did these in Australia to get the unsafe cars off the road and reduced our registration fees.

[@alexcorona]

youtubkeeper I always found it ironic that we don't have inpserions in California. Just pay the yearly fee and off you go. Theres so many unsafe cars on the roads here it's not even funny.

[@RogerElliot]

Not pointless... my R33 is tuned for 1.25bar (18psi). While the wastegate actuator does most of the work holding the boost (12psi), I'm also using an electronic boost controller as on hot days it's handy to have the ability to turn it down a bit to safeguard against ping/knock/detonation, or in the rain to stop the back end of the car from pointing where I'm supposed to be going :)
