hello,

i just paid $165 to get a greddy profec b ii installed. naturally i was very excited and couldnt wait to try out my new gadget. attempting to set the thing up was irritating at first, because i didnt seem to be able to get very good live readings, and the peak boost results were often ridiculous, ranging from 1.6psi, to 23.5psi, despite the car not feeling any different on either run.

i have searched and figured out the tuning now, thanks to a very helpful guide i found. but turns out the ebc was set up all wrong. the hoses to the actuator and the compressor housing were the wrong fkn way around! and the pressure sensor was ludicrously connected to the "NC" (which is for external wastegate). i have no idea how you can get it so fkn wrong! clearly the pressure sensor should be connected to something pressurised.... like the manifold maybe...

i have a question though, the manual says "NO" to the compressor housing, and "COM" to the actuator (internal gate). i changed it to this because it was the other way around, but i just want to confirm its correct if anyone knows. oh and the pressure sensor connects to the fuel pressure regulator right?

now i have to try and dial in 18psi with the stupid % set boost function. what is with that?

lol at modifying cars.

need some splitfires too. anyone know of performance coilpacks in blue or yellow (to match my engine bay)??

Yes that's correct. Just as it says in the manual :(

So the "NO" needs a pressure signal from intercooler piping or compressor housing or somewhere there, "COM" goes to the actuator. And the pressure sensor for the unit, just T it out of one of the hoses from the plenum. As you said, fuel pressure reg vac line, it's the most easily acessed.

Think of it like this

NO=normally open

NC=normally closed

COM=common

If there was to be a failure of the solenoid for an internal gate car you want it to be flowing air, so you don't run huge boost levels, so you use NO and COM

If there was to be a failure of the solenoid for an external gate car you don't want it to be flowing air (its connected to top of the wastegate to hold it down), so you don't run huge boost levels, so you use NC and COM

think of it like an interceptor

the unit needs manifold pressure

so that is seperate

then it needs a signal in (intercept it) and signal out

so it takes signal in from the manifold again and then intercepts it (this is where it bleeds pressure in/out) and then signal out goes to the actuator

so the controller sits in the middle and lies about pressure to the actuator

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
