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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
