+1 ^

do you mean that soleniod ( not sure if its definatley a soleniod ) looking thing on the passenger side strut tower that sends boost signal to ECU????

I think you go from charcoal filter to soleniod than to the actuator. don't take that as gospel as when i bought me car the solenoid was already taken out of the sytem..

can anyone verify my thoughts???

^^^ thats wrong

why do you want to hook the stock boost solenoid back up???

If you use the stock rubber pipe with the restrictor in and plug one end into the wastegate and the other end onto the intercooler pipe apparently it will run right about ten psi, Mines long gone so I cant confirm.

If you want to hook the stock control back up: big hose comes off intercooler pipe goes to 'T' piece then to actuator, small rubber hose goes from 'T' piece to solenoid top or bottom, then small rubber hose comes off the other hole on the solenoid and goes to the rubber intake pipe I think can't remember exactly, that was off the top off my head so may be wrong

Cheers for the replys. Yes I was talking about the solenoid which controls the boost, hence standard boost control.

Ne way I set it up for him so he could run the standard solenoid with the earth mod so it runs 7 lbs constant.

Did it today and it's pretty good mod.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
