22psi is about what most people would run on that turbo, I'm assuming the motor is build and tuned for that? what is the issue?

You could have a boost line with a leak causing it to go higher than it should though.

cheers for the input

ill check the lines again i replaced one coming off the fpr but that is all good now

my motor is not built for that power level and i don't want that amount of boost which is the root of my concern

my 755 cc injectors and haltech - rail etc etc all go in in a week or so but regardless of that id like to be able to have some sort of control

and seeing the boost that high with the bc switched off (im sure the solenoid is dead) it still spits out that much boost which i can only see being the actuators

ill have to research a bit more i guess

Ok it seems the ebc solenoid has died and jammed right open

when i take it off i will look inside

I thought when you said it was all disconnected it wasn't physically inline with the turbo anymore, they should be a fail safe solenoid but if it jammed open then that makes sense.

oh i meant i disconected the in car controler sorry

yep i have also checked the power to the solenoid there was a reading

so the swing valve is jamed open

i cant wait to open it to learn what is inside after i remove it

dude you are getting "unlimited" boost which means either a line is off somewhere or you have not hooked up the system properly. what's happening is no pressure signal is getting to the wastegates so they are staying shut the whole time. you need to check, and recheck your hoses. no way would the wastegates come set over 1.5bar. well it's possible but extremely unlikely. it's a plumbing problem.

if the solenoid is jammed open it's possible it's bleeding off so much air that you are getting unlimited boost but the solenoid from memory should be NC type so if not working it should be closed and you just get base boost.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
