Hi people on SAU,

I'm doing my first turbo upgrade and everything has gone relatively smoothly, but I need all of your help with a little problem I have come accross.

I am putting on a HKS 3037 pro s turbo kit onto my 34, and i dont know what to do with the boost lines that go upto the solenoid and i guess off to the ECU. Do I have to build these into the lines onto the hose that runs from the actuator to the compressor housing, or can i just take out the soleniod all together??? Does the ECU need that boost reading? Or was it just for the two stage boost setup on the old turbo?

I was running standard boost on my standard turbo before the upgrade, and want to run around 1.1-1.2 bar on the new one.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

is the 3037 an external gated turbo or does it use internal gate? if its external then just block the old line to the ecu and use the spring in the gate to dictate the boost.

i fits internal gate still block the lines from the olsd solenoid and use just 1 line from the gate to the plenum if i remembered right. eiether way the old solenoid isnt needed.

btw if it is internal gate worth spending some money on the hks adjustable actuator.

hope that helps you out a bit

yeah its an internal gate - the 3037 comes with the HKS adjustable actuator. Cheers for the help. if i disconnect the soleniod will the ECU chuck a mental? of will it still operate fine? I'm using a standard ECU that will be remapped in a week or two when i get it tuned.

Just disconnect the stock solenoid, it probably wouldnt really work as intended with the 3037 anyway. The ecu wont know the difference. Are you using the stock ecu?

i hope not...

yeah I will be/am. As it says in earlier posts, I will be getting it remapped in a week or two.

I will unplug the standard solenoid and see how she goes when i fire her up.

Cheers for the help

Yea just unplugg it and remove all the vaccum lines, the car will run fine without it plugged in, then just hook up a vaccum line from the hks internal wastegate to your intercooler piping, or put in a boost controller.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
