Hi All

I have installed my SBC - ID3 boost controller

However it doesnt control boost :P The car just keeps on overboosting all the way to bang-time

We have the out line going to a T-piece and from there to both the turbo's, and the in pipe comes from the nipple on the intake piping on the boost-gauge return line. I have been assured this is correct however it would seem to me that this line should come from somewhere that runs at manifold preassure?

I have a R32 GTR.

Please Advise where you guys ran your lines for your boost solenoid/'s from

Thanks

Ian

In these situations it really is best to know how it all works (turbo and how boost is controlled). It's pretty simple and it means you won't even have even really look at the instructions, or even ask anyone. If you don't understand how it works, learn about it, then it will all become clear. Otherwsie you could do some serious damage.

straight off the compressor housing or the piping if u dont want to tap the housing, u just need to get a positive pressure feed, best to keep a short path to the solenoid, also best to not tap off other lines keep the solenoid line individual

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
