How To Connect Eboost Solenoid On R32 Gtr


Recommended Posts

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)

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
