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

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.

. 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

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
