My HKS electronic boost controller works only sometimes.

It is always on but only sometimes will boost to 11-12psi and the rest of the time wont go past about 7psi.

Does this mean that the boost controller is stuffed or could it be something else?

is there a high and a low setting on your boost controller? The solenoid could be on it's way out, maybe some dodgy/worn wiring to the solenoid. I'd say a dicky actuator but usually thats a consistant thing and it sounds like its an intermittent thing. Double check the wiring around the solinoid and around the whole loom to start off.

Hey,

What i have noticed is split hoses around the circled area in the photo.

Would this have anything with the boost sometimes not going above .5 - .6bar ???

The boost controller is set to 11-12psi but only sometimes boosts to that.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
