Hi All,

Just wondering if someone could post up some pictures of the installation of a greddy profec b spec 2 onto a rb 25. Their is a DIY thread in How to's but the pictures do not work :(

Also where would be the best spot to get the feed line into the cabin of a stagea?

Cheers,

chris

ok this is what is going on at the moment with my stock boost lines in the stagea:

Intercooler piping nipple and stock solinoid in bottom right:

Another angle:

Do i get the pressure feed for the actual unit itself from here ( I will install t piece in the vaccuum line that has the white line on it (fuel regulator correct??), the route one of the houses from the t-piece into the cabin to unit:

Hi all,

Currently in the procces of installing a Greddy Profec B spec 2 boost controller into the stagea :D

Just after some help with what vacum lines go where with the new solinoid and if Im going to have to plug up any of the old ones?

here is what the current stock set up is:

Gday mate. If you like I can take some pictures of my setup tomorrow and post them up. I found the installation manual to be pretty good. In fact the hardest part for me was finding a way to route the hoses and wiring into the cabin!

Just make sure you rubber mount the solenoid to the bodywork. Very important.

Cheers!

and the other vac lines for the controll valve come from.....?

Just found this:

Looks good but if from my above pictures it looks like I will have one vac line that will then go no where??

cheers,

chris

yeah i added a line from the intercooler pipe like the first pick. Outlet goes straight to the wastegate actuator

which outlet?? Sorry Im not very well knowledgedwhen it comes to this sort of stuff... So far all ive done myself is timing belt and fmic install.. all gone well so far but ive done large amounts of researching for each...

sorry not sure off the top of my head. In the controllers manual there is a clear diagram. You use the COM and either NC or NO ports with this setup. Someone will have the exact setup you need just be careful if you hook it up wrong you can end up with unregulated boost = bad

both of the pics above have the same outlet hooked to the wastegate so just copy that.

Yeah im going to hook up the intercooler to the "ON" port and the wastegate to the "COM" port..... It just looks like im going to have one vacum line left over after removing the stock solinoid as their are more than 2 pipes with the stock solenoid

sorry mate, but i was getting minimal love from the guys in the forced induction area... :banana:

Meh, get your answers where you can is how I feel about it. :laugh:

Good work btw, hope you get it all sorted and running smoothly.

I've got a fmic and hi-flo turbo coming this week. :banana: Watch my space! :)

Update:

Got the majority of the install done tonight.... EG. ran the vac line into the cabbin for the unit and the solinoi control wire also into the cabin, Hooked up the pressure feed of the fuel regulator and installed the Unit under my headunit in the pocket thats their (went single din headunit from double din stock)....

I decided to hook up it all apart from the solonoid tonight to use it as a boost gauge for a day or two just to see whats going on currenty.... Went for a quick spin then and I think I got the peak boost at 4.5psi.... Couldnt really put the boot in reall hard thou as it was raining really hard (as you would know if you lived in adelaide)....

As for new settings when I connect up the solonoid in the next few days what do you guys recomend I set my Low(grannyspec) and Hi boost pressures to? I was thinking either 4 or 5 psi for low and 10 for hi. Only mods are frount mount intercooler and this boost controller at the moment... will get a SAFC in the no to distant future.....

Also just wondering with the stock solinoid (un grounded) does what gear the cars in also have something to do with how many psi it boosts?

Cheers all,

chris

stock boost is around 7psi, so you can use that as low boost, and 10-12 as high boost, seeing as you have a FMIC.

it will run richer when you increase the boost however, which can reduce fuel economy.

adding things like exhaust, fmic, pod, etc will increase boost slightly, however it's best done with a boost controller. :(

I was thinking of having low set lower than 7.....

Does the gear effect the bost with stock soloinoid? ( I know that the rev range does)

Yeah im aware that winding up boost is going make it run richer this reducing economy.... Ill just get a good tune with stock computer if possible (Or will i need a SAFC?)

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
