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

what boost bleed valve did you get???

Got a Turbotech after reading some good things:

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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
