An apexi boost controller was already installed in my car when I got it.

Im curious to what the original setup looks like incase I need to put it back to stock.

At the moment the hose goes from the inlet pipe to the apexi boost control solenoid to the wastegate.

Is stock straight from the inlet to the wastegate?

Bottom pipe off stock solenoid t'd into intercooler pipe that runs to actuator

Reconnect boost coupling

IGNORE THE SOLENOID PIPES!!!!

Disconnected

Sorry, car is r33 rb25det.

jjskyline79 you have confused me with those pictures. I've never seen the stock setup remember so I dont know what the stock solenoid looks like.

But from what I understand, if I just go straight from the inlet pipe to the wastgate then I will just get a solid 7psi all the time? If someone can confirm this then that would be good enough for me.

(thinking about getting rid of the 33 and buying a 34, so want to take the apexi controller with me)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
