Hey guys.

Got defected on the weekend. 2 many intake mods (Easy fix) Stock airbox back on

5mm too low (95mm) Adjustable. Easy fix

Aftermarket Boost control. ummm. ok. The original Solonoid has been mounted, Plugged back in.

But The vaccum lines. I cant remember how they went. 1 line was plugged, the other 2. Top or Bottom on the solonoid. either way ive tryed setting it up in several ways all resulting in massive spiking.

The car is a Series 2 R33 Gts-T.

If anyone could PLEASE advice me on which line i have to put the tee in. and Which lines go at the top

and which at the bottom. OR provide a nice clear Photo of the standard layout (All my stock pics arent clear enough to see each vaccum line clearly) It would be greatly appreciated.

As of this Saturday i cant drive the car anywhere except to VicRoads. Id rather set it all up Properly rather then dodgy the lines just to have them plugged in to look the part. Dont want to take unnecesary chances.

Cheers for any help anyone can offer.

Luke

bad luck dude!

The top line from your solenoid is connected to your factory BOV plumback pipe. If you have factory BOV!!. The bottom line from solenoid is connected to a tee fitting installed between intake pressure and your wastegate actuator.

All the best.

Awesome. That should be exactly what i need.

Where and why did you get defected?

Was it just a random stop???

Drove past Bendigo's local "Modified Car Hunter" on a quiet stretch of road. Quickly saw the U turn in my rear view. He said he went passed and thought i looked low. (The intercooler wouldnt have helped either).

And that was pretty much it.

isnt it easier to just run a line straight to the wastegate and not worry about the factory solenoid at all, after all your just going to remove it straight after any way.

THanks for the help guys. Problem solved Boost level again. well as level as the pathetic stock 2 stage boost is. Book in for the check early next week.

And i dont think i will reinstall the EBC straight away.. Ive still got the Controller set up in the cabin as a guage and the wires all running into the engine bay (Hidden) I.e just plug the solonoid in and it works again. But ill probably just stealth the Solonoid in place and only connect it during Drag days. Im only running approx 1.5ish psi different anyway. First thing ill be doing is earthing the stocky off again to get it back to single stage boost.

you could always just get an adjustable wastegate, set it at what ever boost you want and with the heat shield on they cant see the adjuster rod and you just have a line going straight from your piping to your wastegate, if your doing a track day leave the heat shield off and it is a only a few minutes to adjust it, thats what im running now, have a avcr but it seems hold standard boost longer and then the boost goes up really quick, with the hks adjustable wastegate its just a constant push to .9 bar.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
