Well your stock boost controller is definatly dissconnected, and it is a bit hard to tell where the line running from your wastegate is going..... But that is a lot of hoses plugged up there......

I have tried to circle in green where the wastegate is, try following that hose to see where it goes, as pressure going to your wastegate is what controlls the level of boost.

Found this under the bonnet.

Its not connected :pirate:

Need some advice and what goes where?

whats the problem tho, out of interest?

ie no boost, unlimited boost, etc etc, or is all good and working / functioning correctly?

looks to me as if you have a Greddy electronic boost controller...... and if that is working correctly then you probably shouldnt change anything, LOL

ok, the hose going to the wastegate actuator needs the other end to connect to the OUT port on your EBC solenoid. The IN port of the solenoid needs to be connected to a pressure source. most likely post throttle would be the go. it should also have a BLEED port which needs to be left unconnected.

its goes here...

ok, so if that hose is running of where the T piece is, one end of the T is blocked off and the other runs off the inlet tube then it is showing the waste gate the inlet pressure with will open the waste gate when it reaches the spring tension limit of the gate. So first of all (if what I have stated above is correct) it is running safely and will not over boost. If you want to get it back to factory running the 2 stage boost solenoid or reconnect that after market Boost Controller then there I am sure someone here will have the answers!

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Ah ok, now I see it, so the hose coming from that stock nipple off the cooler piping just before the plenum, goes to her wastegate, via a T piece with the 3rd pipe blocked?

So there must be some reason why the person who did this dissconnected both the aftermarket boost controller and the stock boost controller.......?

Yeah that is my thinking Ska, I think the Boost controller might have some issues... You won't know until you try I guess?

I"ve spoken to Burkey22 who orginally did all the work to the car, he since sold it to a guy in SA in April, I bought the car off this guy in SA this month (July)... Burkey says he didn't disconnect the boost.

All the gauges inside the car were taken down and the SA guy said he was going to get the car reg'd in SA (then I came along from WA wanting to buy it) so he disconnected all the boost stuff. I've now had them reconnected inside, but under the bonnet is the mystery.

On the Greddy is says "Boost Control Valve"

ETA: thanks guys. I will take it over to hyperdrive or cypher and see what they say >_<

Hmmmm wierd eh, well I guess the answer to your original question, "What goes where?", nothing needs to be changed if you do not want to change the amount of boost you are running.

If you want to change it then you would have to hook up some lines to the GReddy unit, in the way BB said. But I am unaware how the GReddy unit works, and more importantly if it works.....?

I have been having some issues with my EBC, so went out and bought one of these $35 boost controllers, ( http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JRD-Boost-Controlle...1QQcmdZViewItem ), originally sold by [email protected] for $35 delivered to SAu members in this thread, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...375&st=1040

And it is bloody beautiful Boost Controller, dont think I'll be going back to EBC for the stagea, this one works just brilliantly!

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
