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.

Cheers

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!

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
