I just recently install a Profec A, and from the moment i turned it on, the control/soleniod unit made a heep of wierd 'computer' and clicking sounds. After everything was setup up, the unit still makes these noises when the car is turned off but the ignition is on. It seems to me like the soleniods are constantly opening and closing! Is this supposed to happen? All my vacume hoses are setup correctly, and the controller itself is working fine at controlling boost?

Another query, does anyone have the Profec A instruction manual (pdf or other electronic form?) my email is weq@mooh.org, id apprecaite it!

Thanks for ur help!

Weq - I know that alot of solenoids will make a bit of a sound when it initially turns on, but shouldnt keep making it. A mate had an almost new HKS EVC5 and the guy he bought it off didnt have the in line filters installed and had a lot of blow by oil inside.. Im pretty sure he had similar sounds too you and after a quick clean it stopped the sounds.

Re manual, i downloaded a manual from the net when I had my profec a (needed it to set it up properly). Do a search on google or try trust.com - there is a pdf manual around somewhere!

Noise is normal :) It even says it in the manual, so dont't worry about it

I have emailed you the instructions as well, make sure its set up properly and it should be fine

NOTE - with the learn procedure 'P1', keep doing full boost runs in 3rd and 2nd gears, do as many as possible, as it will make the boost curve more stable, then P2 mode, use 3rd gear

I have found this works the best

Seriously guys, really apprecaite the info! I was a bit confused with the P1 and P2 learning modes and i didnt spend much time in them (without hte manual, i didnt know!) Boost holds decently atm, but its a bit jumpy up top. I'll think i'll do another setup and see if it will hold boost better.

One last question, regarding the learning mode, what boost level does is it supposed to reach during setup? Like stock wasteage levels? or something preset on the unit?

You get into learn mode by holding power and over take boost down for about 6 seconds or so, it will then come up with -

P1 - learns the stock boost curve, do as many runs as possible, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th if you have a nice big long non-cop patrolled road :) Do as many as you can

Press the power button, it will then go into P2 mode. Press the power button again when you are ready to go, and it will start.

This mode is measures pressure drop between turbo and inlet, one full boost (try to start from around 2500rpm until rev-cut) is alll that is needed, if it is sucessful, it will come up with a digital boost gauge, if it doesn't P2 will still be displayed. Keep doing it until it works :D

Good luck

P.S - dAVE, I think I have emailed the manual to you before as well??

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
