Hiya fellas,

I've just picked up a turbotech manual boost controller and i'd just like some pointers before I start. My question is :

Is the pipe i've put a red arrow to on this picture the line to the wastegate actuator?

If so is that where I should fit the turbotech boost controller ?

Thanks very much all,

Howie

So make a cut where the red line is, insert the boost contoller there, and then which line do i bung up?

And do you take the brass piece (pictured on top in photo) out of the equation totally thereby bypassing the solenoid?

You don't have to cut any lines (unless you can't get the old lines off that brass F fitting).

The Brass F Fitting is taken out completely... leaves you with the wastegate line and 2 going to the boost solenoid. You can use either one of those 2 lines for the new boost controller, the remaining line - just put a screw in it to bung it up; make sure it's tight.

PS: I was trying to look for a photo that Zymotic sent me when I installed mine; perhaps ask him for it?

Hiya Stan,

Thanks mate, clear as mud now (hehe). QRI05E just sent me that photo... makes much more sense now.

Cheers heaps, i think i'm sorted out. I'll take some photos during the install and post it up here in case anyone runs into this thread needing help.

So how does it go with the turbotech in Howie?

Gidday bud, lo and behold it arrived last night. i'll stick in the boost gauge first (thanks stan for tips on this btw), then check that it's accurate, then give the turbotech a shot.

I'll grab some pics (maybe a video too) for the R34 so you can do your install when the time comes.

Cheers

Howie

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
