hi guys i'm hoping that someone here can help me. i recently installed a blitz spec s ebc to my R33 i installed it exactly as instructions were telling me. I ran the hose from before the throttle body to the IN on the solonoid then from the OUT to the top port of my wastegate (external) then from the side port to my compressor on the turbo. firstly it ran s@#t house it boosted straight 15psi probably keep going if it weren't for the fact that it started brake down and by adjusting the boost controller it made no difference couldn't lower it even with it turned off it wouldn't run 9psi like it was before installed it. I then took the little allen key bolt out of top of the wastegate for now that has put my car back to running 9psi as it was before i installed the ebc but i stil can't wind the boost up on my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi mate, it should be run like this. From the compressor to the IN of the solenoid, then OUT of the solenoid to the wastegate.

Just a question, how many vacuum ports does your wastegate have? 1 or 2.

If it has 2, use the lower one, not the one on the top of the wastegate.

hi there, Unfortunately i still have this problem it's been hooked up as whistle stated above in doing that i get 19psi now and then break down doesn't matter if the controller is turned off or on i still have no control over it has anybody had this problem that could tell me how to over come it could it be a buggered solonoid ? etc etc

You may have installed it wrong.

That s the link for the install manual.

It says the top port is to be left open as it needs to bleed of boost in order to control it.

Makes sense to me.

Also have you left your standard solenoid plugged in?

Also make sure you have the head unit switched to WG for external wastegate.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help guys i'l tackle it through the week. just wondering as i run the bov on compressor side could that contribute to the problem ? just that the way whistle has described it make sense because thats how i've seen bleed valves running. if not i will set it up as i 1st had it which is as shown in the picture because i did actually have the bleed blocked off.

ok guys took awhile but i got off my ass and done this. i ran the hoses as shown in the diagram from the instrunction manual and left the top of solonoid open for it to bleed which i never did the 1st time and it seems to be working properly so thanks for help and info guys was much appreciated.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
