Setting Up My Christmas Greddy Profec

Hey guys

So I got a Greddy Profec 2 for Christmas off the partner and its proving to be a pain to setup.

I ended up tapping into the vac line that the stock gauge uses (dont know if this is an issue)

Right now it seems to not want to go over 6psi

If anyone knows anything about these then let me know.

Settings I currently have it set to.

SET: 35%

GAIN: 5%

SET GAIN (start boost): 7psi

WARNING: 11psi

LIMITER: 5%

I think there might be a vac leak because when I pull the line off the nipple on the intercooling piping that goes to the solinode and the VAC on my gauge does not change a bit.

On idle sites around probably 20 or so

This makes me think there is already a big enough vac leak that by me doing this does not cause any issues

Here is a picture of what my VAC looks like when coming off throttle. (very bad)

Scrarching my head - so u connected it to the boost gauge sensor? Or the stock boost solenoid near the turbo?

U need to run it from the cooler pipe to the NEW boost controller solenoid then to the wastegate.

Then T into a vacuum/boost source such as the stock boost gauge sensor on firewall and run that one into the cabin into the boost controller

Haha nah sorry

The controller is hooked up to the actuator and the nipple on the cooler piping. All correct.

But my gauge sits at around -20 VAC

When I pull the line off the intercooler piping the VAC does not change is that normal? Or should the vac drop because it's got now an exposed nipple on the intercooler piping?

It also sounds like a sewing machine on boost which leads me to believe its defiantly got a leak somewhere.

But one question as well is for the boost gauge part of the profec I pulled the hose off from the stock vacuume line where it enters the air intake and ran a hose straight to my profec. Is that okay to do?

Can u post up a pic of the vacuum line ur talking about?

The cooler pipe line is before the throttle body so it wint really affect ur gauge reading after the throttle body. If that makes sense?

What do u mean by a sewing machine?

Try upping the gain to 15, set the boost warning to 15psi.

Watch the boost gauge and see if it holds flat or if it oscillates up and down

I will take a pic tomorrow of the vac line it comes out of the back of the intake manifold and normally goes to the stock gauge inside the car. Instead I pulled it off and ran my own pipe from it to my gauge in the car

Just has a sewing machine noise hard to describe but as it spools it has a noise like a sewing machine lol

My phone network is down so I cant get pics.

Right now I fiddled with the setup and the T now goes into the fuel regulator VAC line

I put the stock gauge VAC line back onto the back of the intake manifold.

Anyone know of a simple technique to find a VAC leak?

I tried spraying the hoses with "start ya bastered" to see if I could hear a change in revs but I cant find it

When coming off WOT the gauge shows -30 VAC and the Greddy unti shows -99 VAC

Both of which are the lowest numbers they can display

. It won't, I believe this part is under mild pressure at idle. Pull a vac line off after the throttle plate and see if the idle changes.

u sure it's not just the boost controller solenoid clicking away, they can be pretty loud.

I pull hoses off and it does not really change so the VAC at -30 is pretty normal?

I think I had it the wrong way around I was thinking your vac went lower when you had a VAC leak.

So if I had a leak I would expect the number to increas to say -20?

the ticking might be the solenoid then I guess because I have never had one I always used the boost T.

yes its normal to drop lower when you come off WOT, -30 in that case would be fine

you really need to show us how its been hooked up from where to where.

have you tried upping the boost or what? make sure you have the solenoid hooked up right too in terms of in and out

I wish I could get a photo but as I said I am with vodafone so nothing is working haha

The car is running great though.

Boost is tuned for 8psi and 10psi for 2 settings.

It all seems to be running fine now guys

When I get back from the coast I will post up some pictures

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
