just wondering... i did this mod, but im unsure if it has actualy changed anything. but on the stock boost gauge (one in the dash), half way mark, what psi is that?

its a gts25t 95 model by the way

ah kool.. well i guess the mod worked then =)

reason y i was unsure was i didnt cut the black wire, but striped it back on one section behind the black cover sleve that goes over both the wires, and then attached the grounding wire there, so that if the cops do inspect it, it wont look like anything has been changed cause its hiden

"+7 on the gauge is 14.5PSI I do believe.. so 1/2 way is about 7PSI"

wow, why is +7 14.5psi??

yes i had the same problem, saw that it only went just over halfway so i wasnt sure if it worked or not, so i changed it back.

pity i didnt try it just with myself in the car, everyone wanted to jump in to see what the difference was.. so with 4 people.. went even slower than normal obviously :)

stock boost guage is in mmhg

7 mmhg = 1 bar = 14.7psi

i installed a bleed valve and looped the two hoses going into the 5psi solenoid and all was merry when i booted it, and as soon as i got to 4500rpm the engine just went nuts and backfired, and hesitated shockingly before going back to normal, pulling like a train at roughly 5000rpm..any ideas? i guess the ecu doesnt like the boost solenoid not doing anything...was this hesitation in the engine the knock sensors retarding my timing?? it scared the hell outta me...happened a couple of times...thought it may have been overboosted by my bleed valve but in disconnectiong it, it made no difference...ill just ground the solenoid...should be safe that way..anyway..can someone explain what happened to make my engine go all crazy?

nevermind..solved the problem...im such a retard i totally bypassed the wastegate actuator so it was bleeding off all vacuum..so wastegate just refused to open...this is very bad....i musta hit roughly 20psi at one stage...fu@king so lucky it didnt damage anything..

i'll give it a try tonite with my er34 semiauto and see what happens. Might do the safe option and wire up a small switch in the engine bay to constantly ground it.

yay! more power!

not too noticable in an auto but there is slightly better acceleration in the lower rpm range, no longer need to kick the auto down a gear.

I tried this and it works mad!!! Love it. What i also did though was i used a change over relay, i put a on off switch on the dash when the switch is off the computer controls the boost and in the on position the solenoid gets gounded,

its the best possible way this mod can be done without any effects.

Change Over Relay Conections

85 - Earth

86 - switch on dash with 12+ volt

30 - to solenoid

87 - to the wire you cut going to computer

87a - Earth

Hope this helps

i dont have the original pics anymore or the solenoid. can someone take some pics of the mod done please and ill post them back to first post on page #1

nobody is able to post up the pics of their solenoid and wiring for me??? :D i have about 30 minutes of daylight left and really would like to have this done before i go out cruising tonight

the next best thing would be if you could just direct me as to where to find this solenoid.......i've looked around the engine bay but i'm unable to find it :)

the solenoid is near the stock airbox.

Its just behind it to the right... its like a funny looking gold thing with 2 hoses coming out of it...

Its next to some liquid container if i recall correctly, cant remeber which one..

but yeah its right near the airbox..

thanx Jason

okay cool i just checked it out......but my wires aren't white OR black :rolleyes:

i have a light green wire and a blue wire with a white chaser (stripe)......anybody know what to do with these colored wires???

Also get rid of the restrictive gause either side of the AFM, again, what is it going to stop other than air? If something is big enough to break thru the air filter, it deserves to break your afm and will regardless...

if you're talking about the screen on the AFM i wouldn't remove that. That screen is there in order to create a venturi effect on the intake air just before it his the AFM device, this is important as it helps your AFM accurately monitor the amount of air coming in much better than it would w/o the venturi effect.

I know people who have removed this screen from their AFMs (not skyline owners) and the end result caused them to have to go out and buy a brand new unit. Just thought i'd put that out there

nah stock boost is 5 - 7psi..

when you go past 4500rpm the boost solenoid thing opens and gives you the extra 2 psi.. so you get 7 in total..

What do you mean 1+ ?

7 on the stock boost gauge means 14psi if thats what your talking bout ?

so stock boost is about 5psi this mod increases it to around 7, isn't 1+ about 14psi?

:O

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
