i just bought a GTR and ill be pulling my EBC out of my GTSt to pu it into my GTR.

im not sure how to do it though.

there is 2 actuators for 2 turbos, so do i use a Y joiner to hook them both up to the solenoid? also im not sure where to hook it up to the FPR.

has any1 done it before? can you link pics?

cheers

yeah its pretty easy assuming you have the standard piping under the plenum.

the pressure source for the new solenoid is a vacuum pipe which is at the rear of the plenum (underneath) hook that to the input of the solenoid. the output of the solenoid goes to one of the 2 pipes under the plenum just above the oil filter (it comes from the standard boost controller). Not sure if it is the top or the bottom one off the top of my head - you need to trace it around the motor, it is the standard line that goes to both wastegates.

when you've done that you need to block 2 points in the standard pipes - the hose that you remove from the plenum needs to be blocked, and the other line that goes to the standard boost solenoid has to be dropped too.

this is the easiest way, you can retain all the standard piping and even mount the new solenoid where the factory one normally sits.

i sort of got a rough idea how to do it... just by tracing the vacum line from the wastegates of both turbos back around the plenum side of the engine but i lose sight of the line under the plenum lol....

its hopeless lol

sorry my next post went missing in the forum move. the top pipe of the 2 under the plenum is the one that goes straight to the wastgates. so give it a shot joeleo87

to make sure you have it right, turn the boost controller off (ie standard boost) pull 2nd gear on some open road, when you get to about 3500rpm if it goes over 14psi its not right....just get straight off the throttle if its wrong as long as you are paying attention everything will be fine.

so if its the wrong hose. it will just boost right up? and no damage whats so ever?

ill give it a go tonight duncan :(

if it works ill make a DIY!

um thats not quite what I meant.

If its wrong it will boost to eleventy billion - so if it goes past 14psi get straight off the throttle. If its wrong, and you keep your foot down you willl kill turbos and/or engine.

If its right it will stop at the right place and you will enjoy the extra boost :rolleyes:. make sure the controller is off when you test - this will mean you only get standard 12-14psi boost

i was thinking duncan, can i just replace the stock boost solenoid with the EBC 1?

or will that just poo things? to eleventy billion?

where do you hook up the unit's vacuum line? it says in the guide to connect it to the fuel pressure regulator? where might i find that?

photos would be a great help right now...

im lost :S

thats the ezy part man.

if you follow the fuel rail (where the injectors are) at the end (radiator side) you'll find the FPR, there will be a small hose coming off it going into the engine, you put the 'Y' connection :P

The ezy way is to just replace the stock boost controler valve. Its very simple an is just as effective. I did my 32 gtr this way any had not problems.

I have also tried it with the controler mounted on the passenger suspension tower with the hoses cut in near the actuator's. It's a lot harder to do and you have to be confident with removing the top turbo pipes to gain access.....

Also as a note to all tune all the setting on the sontroler right down and slowly adjust them up...I started at about 50% on all settings and it was way to high. Start at about 5% on everything and work your way up to your desired boost setting.

i just installed the vacuum line to the Fuel pressure regulator. Ive got a strange feeling that my car is already running 14psi.. even without the solenoid connected up to the main unit. I hope not, cos then i will be dissapointed after my tune...

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
