ok lets see

ive tried unsuccessfully trying to up the boost by cutting the lower hose on the solenoid and fitting a dodgy bunnings bleed valve to the hose from the T peice and blocked off the hose connecting to boost solenoid.

i want to get rid of that damn vtec styles boost control where it hits 5psi straight and then hits 7psi when it reaches past 5000rpm

my friend suggest unplugging both hoses from the boost solenoid and T peicing them together and then attaching a bleed valve from that and unplug the boost solenoid.

would this work? worst thing that could happen is unlimited psi.

LOL

Firstly unplug the stock boost solenoid and forget about it!

then get whatever cheap dodgy bleed valve u want and plug the hose coming from the turbo wastegate to one side and the hose coming from the cooler piping into the other. Then u can play with the boost.

w00t!!

thanks inasnt

nah this dodgy bunnings style bleed valve is pretty reliable

well its supposed to be

do i unplug the bleed valve from the ecu or leave it connected?

and im only doing 10psi

nothing dangerous

the bleed valve isent plugged into the ecu.

Once u take the tube from the turbo actuator off the stock solenoid, it wont work anymore anyway. U have to plug the bleed valve in the right direction from the ic piping to the actuator! A proper bleed valve will have an arrow indicating the direction, but u will have to experiment!!

U sure your wheels aint gonna fall off again??? hahahaha

i told u to do that man last week.. geez

here is how it works

intake side ---> bleed valve --> wastegate

done, its as simple as that.. remove stock boost solenoid and throw in bin (actually don't do that).. but u don't need it.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
