Hi,

I've just hooked up an eBoost2 boost controller onto my R32 GTR but it doesn't seem to be functioning. All the electrics are hooked up fine (I think) but not sure about the vacuum hoses. I'm used to my old SR20 which had everything nice and visible and on the same side of the engine (ie boost pressure source, wastegate actuators etc) but can't see exactly what connects to what on the RB26.

In short (as per the attached pic) I've taken the two hoses that used to connect to the factory solenoid and connected the hose that used to have the yellow band & restrictor to the "Wastegate actuator" side of the eBoost solenoid, and the other hose to the "boost pressure source" side of the solenoid.

Can anyone please help me out on whether this is the right way?

(I tried to search... sorry)

Cheers

by the way, the car is still basically stock with stock turbos so don't have any crazy plans to wind it up - just want it to run 13psi and had the eBoost left over from my old car so wanted to at least plug it in.

thanks

Can't use factory boost source, as the source is bled and was only meant to be used with the factory actuator (source is near the clutch I believe). You need to blank that source off, and run a new hose from a suitable pressure source from the manifold (can't remember the location I use, it's the rear of the plenum)

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
