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

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
