Hey guys

Some knob - i.e G.A Garage sent me a Blitz SBC 3 BoostController which was totally fried... Im thinking the solanoid could be fried as well!!!

Anyone know if any power is sent to it to do such a thing? or most if not all the power was sent to the screen??

Im able to get a screen and new controller for a decent price still to hold me even I guess.. Was wondering if its worth it concidering the solanoid could be rooted.

I know its quite a general question but someone who knows how they work might be able to help .. if its all mechanic and no electrical movements involved it still may be ok.

If I could, how would I check?

great ... guess ill have to meet up with the guy n see if it works or not .. will the soli make any sound when its functional? or will i be able to blow straight through it? anything I could do to make sure its functional .. i suppose a multimeter would help but dont want to crack it open

easy way to test the coil is to just power up the two coil wires one pos and one neg. if you here it click then it has switched. to further test this you could then blow through the line in hole and see if you get air through when it is on and none through when it is off.

u should be able to check with a M-Meter,

u should be able to disconnect the coil from the actuator... then power it up and put something metal in the middle of the coil,

When it's activating you should be able to feel it through the peice of metal (a small screw driver would be ideal)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      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.
