my r33 gtst needs to pass an EPA test and to do so i need to have standard boost control parts running. at the moment i have a duel stage boost controller and it runs fine with the duel stage. when i put the vac lines to the standard controller it overboosts. can someone tell me what vac lines need to go where? also i have made sure the plug that comes from the standard controller is plugged in and i have even tried another one from a mates car. could the wiring for the standard controller be used for the aftermarket unit? if so what should i be testing for with the multi meter? the after market controller has an earth wire and a wire running through the firewall and i cant see if the wire from the standard plug has been cut as it dissapears into a loom. any help would be much appreciated. thanks, brad (also my car has a standard turbo,FMIC and at the moment the airbox is fitted and i have checked for vaccum leaks)

You won't need a multimeter... the standard solanoid should give 5psi if it's not working properly, and 7psi if it is.

I suggest that your plumbing is not quite right... from the intake pipe down the bottom, the pipe should come into the bottom of the solanoid (I think.. if not, switch them around), and then the top one goes to your wastegate actuator.

i treid the lines both ways but i was a little worried id do some damage can anybody confirm which way they are supposed to go? also id like to know what im looking for with a multimeter with the wires coming from the solinoid as i said before i tried the vac lines both ways and i even tried another solinoid from my mates car which i know works.

from memory one of the lines was running to a T peice, also one line had a little restrictor in it, if thats not in the right place that may cause your problem.

Let me work out what needs to go where cos im in the exact same boat as you, i have a dual stage boost controller installed and i need to put the standard one back on so i can get it trough RoadWorthy.

Ok here is what i worked out on how to properly install the stock boost controller.

First off there is a hose from the actuator goin to a T peice, its only short and it has a yellow band on it because it has a brass restrictor in it.

From the T peice it goes to the BOV retuirn pipe.

Then from the T peice it goes to the bottom of the boost controller.

The last is a straight hose goin from the intercoller pipe to the top of the boost controller.

Can someone please confirm this for me, i just want to be %100 sure.

I mainly want to know if the restrictor is in the short hose coming off the actuator and goin to the T peice.

I hjope this helps, im %99 sure this is right which i would love someone to confirm this all for me ..

no thats wrong.

(if you have a front mount there will be a hose from the bov pressure line (the vacuum hose that opens the bov) instead of the intercooler pipe)

there should be hose hose from an intercooler pipe. this goes to a T piece. from the T piece there should be 1 hose going to the wastegate, and 1 to the lower hose of the factory solenoid. the top hose of the solenoid should go back to the intake (bov plumback pipe).

Ok this is straight from the Nissan Fast program, so thjere is no disputing it.

Top of the boost controller goes straight to the wastegate.

The bottom goes to the T peice.

One side of the T peice goes straight to the intercooler pipe.

The other side of the T peice goes straight to the BOV return plumbing.

Thats it, 100%..

I also found a picture in another thread showing the stock setup i described.

The restrictor is in the short hose goin from the intercooler pipe to the T peice, make sure you have the restrictor in place.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
