Anyone able to show me some picks on the best way to install this? Should i leave the factory solenoid in place or circumvent it? (usually i circumvent it)

Cheers.

get rid of factory. lol i made the mistake of not, and my boost would continuously change from hi-low

You able to help me out with some pics Aaron?

yeh i will pm me your number ill give you a call tonight if you still need help.

really simple.

I would guess its seeing a problem and going into some sort of low power mode. Do you have an engine light coming up occasionally?

Have you cut the Brake signal wire on the ecu? That would do it.

Either way I would get rid of it but understand you will need a tune for best effect if you go higher boost, grab an emanage and lean the mixtures out, even stock boost can get you over 180kw. The gas can be tuned to some extent too if its anything like Jethro's, possibly netting more power.

I noticed those valves work on bleeding the air off as well as a ball and spring type of regulator. I prefer the Turbosmart ones personally, or just modify the actuator for the best response. What boost do you want to run eventually?

I got the same setup as Sage from the same place...

ceopt mine is leaning out after 5k rpm...and thats at 15 psi!!!!!

bloody hell

the only thing i have to compare it to is the SR20DET.. used to run 7psi and the boost came on very progressively.. as soon as i put on a bleed valve and circumvented the factory unit it turned into a f*kn monster! completely different car even at the same boost.. and when i went to 14psi.. omg it was awesome! (datsun 1600 @ 950kg) :)

all that aside no one has told me where to plumb it in yet! :D

OH here you go......

1. Run a line (using your old input) from the intake pipe just before the throttle body...then run a line up from your actuator.......where they meet in the middle put you boost controller (not a fan of that bleed valve....I had spike issues with it).

2. Block off the hole o the intake pipe where the boost solenoid connects in.

3. Loop a bit of hose on the boost solenoid.

4. Do NOT throw away or cut up your original lines as there is a little regulator in one of them.....run new boost lines in other words.

Correct. Just get a simple nipple fitted to the hot pipe.

you'll find its not needed, it only spikes because of the weak spring in the actuator.

since ive done the "scottys backyard spring actuator mod" i founf it doesnt spike at all.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
