Where Do I Tap My Profec2 On Rb26 ?

My mechanic is not sure where to tap the vacuum of my Boost controller because the closer lines to the turbo are in metal and he don't want to cut these. He said it's better to have them the closer you can from the turbos.

Any thought??

Would this Tutorial for RB20DET work the same for the RB26 ??

Also,

I broke my valve unit harness on my profec2 and I can't find which wire goes where.

So, If you take the back of the unit in front of you. you will find the power harness and the vacuum to your left. Which wire is on the extreme right? white or green ?

Thanks a lot!!!

HIJACK!

I have realised that my bnr32 doesnt have the solenoid! Its been taken out and the two lines to it plugged up... Could definately be a reason it feels down on power - but my question is should I buy an original solenoid and put it in or just replace the original unit with a profec B???

Before someone makes comment, I do know that I wont be able to adjust the boost via a factory item (not really what I want at this stage anyway but will in the future).

u sure u dont have a boost tap of some sort controlling boost pressure?

sometimes there hidden or cable tied somewhere hard to see, have abit of a look around, especialy on the turbo side...

wellyou allready have the profec B, so you may aswell put that in now and just get the boost set to what you want it on now.then you can just turn it up latter when your ready,unless of course you want to buy a stock one,

So, i have to tap METAL LINES? there's no way to by-pass this!?

yeah you can just run all new boost lines. from the nipple on the plenum to the solenoid and then to a tee peice, from the tee to the 2 wastgate actuators,,, all new, you could take the other pipes off alltogether if you wanted. Oh and dont forget to block off the hose coming from the air connector- the dark blue pipe/hose on the diagram.

OK thanks for the info. I will be checking this saturday.

why do need to block of the blue hose in the diagram between the two wastegates ? mines still connected and seems to run/idle/boost perfectly !

If the blue line isnt blocked off you will have an air/vacume leak cause that joins to the inlet pipe from the airflow meter.So if im correct it will be sucking in unmetered air ,does that make sense?

the blue hose that goes into the inlet pipe between the 2 wastgates ? follow that around and it goes to the old boost control solenoid....thats not in use anymore so can it still get a pressure leak?

if thats the case il block it, got no probs with the car at all but might aswell do it lol

Im not sure it can leak if still conected to the stock solenoid,if your cars runs fine it mustn"t leak, but it cant hurt to block it off..up to u i guess :D

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
