Hi guys.

I need help installing one of the manual boost controllers onto my r32 gtst.

I cant for the life of me find where to insert it tho i have found plenty opf manuals for the r33, nothing for my 32 can i find.

I really need pics so if anyone has a pic of where they put theirs on their 32 stocky then plz let me know.

Thanks in Advance.

woul dlike to know this too :banana:

thanks

I'm pretty sure its the same for a 32 but this is what i did in simplified form.

- Locate solenoid. Take off the top hose and put a bolt in it to block it off and cable tie to secure.

- The hose on the bottom of the solenoid should be connectod to a T piece.

- Remove the T-Piece.

- ur boost controller will replace this.

- As in the pics of Turbotech...follow instructions...bottom barb to turbo..side barb to actuator.

MAKE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE SOLENOID.

Hope this helps!

Searched for like 2 hours and nothing on the rb20's only 25's.

I found the wastegate and there is a line coming from the bottom of it and im guessing this is the line i need to put it on.

I dont think us rb20's have this solenoid and stock t piece so im guessing i have to cut this line and put it in.

If i get a confirmation that its the correct line ill put a pic so others can see for the rb20's

No offence, but I honestly think, if you cant figure out how to install a bleeder to your import by understanding the dynamics, or find the answer on the interweb, you should be taking it to a mechanic.

Come on guys im sure you can be a little more helpful, they're obviously new to this. I had no idea either when i first started, and i didn't bother asking questions like this coz i knew this was exactly the type of answer i would receive.

anyway, 32s don't have a std boost solenoid so don't worry about that

If you can see the turbo it's fairly easy,

theres a hose coming off the turbo housing to the wastegate actuator, cut the hose and plumb the controller into it. you might need to get a longer hose. I cant remember which way it's supposed to face so check your instructions but as far as i remember, the nipple opposite the big screw is supposed to face the wastegate actuator and the other horizontal nipple goes to the turbo housing

r32woohoo is spot on - r32 has a pneumatic wastegate actuator and it alone controls the max. boost pressure & when the wastegate opens.

the controller goes between the wastegate actuator nipple and the turbo compressor housing nipple.

he is also spot on the assessment of some ppl's attitude on this forum - we've gotta start somewhere, we've all started out as a newbie.

it helps if you understand how it all works but i really don't think we need the answers like "if you can't understand/do this, take it to the mechanic". some ppl DIY to save money, others do it to understand and learn. this is not really personal to you GeeTR, just an observation and a suggestion.

cheers

cheers guys.

i knew where the hose was and what i had to do, just wasnt sure if the 32 had a solenoid like the 33 does.

but thanks for the feed back. it does clarify things when someone that knows exactly what they are doing (not people like myself that sorta no what to do) pass information on to others so they now know what they are doing

cheers again

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
