Modded my boost solenoid, So just a quick post with some 0-100 times on my stock S1 RS4. All recorded on a g-tech at night (canberra = cold)

Before mod (stock boost cut until 4500 rpm)

Run 1: 8.28

Run 2: 8.37

Run 3: 8.19

After mod (full boost throughout range)

Run 1: 7.31

Run 2: 7.38

Run 3: 7.29

worth your time!

Cheers!

has anyone gone to the effort to extend ( what I beleive ) is an easy mod one step further?

would be good if you could get a 2 way switch to allow you to go between the 2?

Ie .. stock setup - low boost till 4000rpm

then full boost from 0 - redline

could be a good thing to do

not worth the effort, leave it at full boost, and control it with your foot. :wub:

Just the standard ground the solenoid so it's open all the time (or just bypass it..) but as far as having a switch for it.. I don't see a lot of point, as it's much more responsive with it fixed, and uses a reasonable amount of less fuel. More midrange = less right foot.

But was good to see a difference in numbers, not just feel. It was mainly off the line where it made the difference. Up to 50 kph or so was HALF the time. I also tried one run with loading up the stall but the brakes couldn't hold it under full throttle.

fun stuff anyway :) I would have done some 0-400m but not a lot of ACT roads where doing 150kph recommended..

I don't suppose you could follow this up with some numbers on your fuel economy?

Anywhoo, thanks for sharing the lurve :)

When I did the mod I went from about 390k a tank to 450k a tank, but it's all really down to driving style I guess.. I'm pretty easy on the car, doesn't spend much time above 3500rpm, but doesn't have to now.. before you really had to wring the neck out of it for any sort of performance, so effortless now. Different car! Even feels better down low than my TT 300zx which is 3L and has 2 turbos (manual)

The mod is just in the sticky section under DIY.. I think it's called full boost modification or similar.. 5 mins work..

its called rb25 boost solenoid mod i think.

essentially you ground the solenoid, so its always open (the ecu opens it at 4,500rpm, so you have 5psi boost to 4500rpm, then 7 over that)

you can either ground the solenoid, or just rip the thing out and join the 2 hoses (make sure you dont use a joiner that will restrict the hose I.D. otherwise you might get too much boost, ideally use a single piece)

very good, cheap mod to perform on the rb25. :)

why not buy a manual b/c and try ten psi, even better :)

mate not a chance in the world anyone would ever notice even if it was illegal...you cut one wire and ground it to the chasis.

the beauty of this mod is it gives you power in the midrange, doesnt affect top end (and therefore should be super safe for the motor). And cost is about 10c...5cm of wire and a eye terminal

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
