Hey Folks

New to the world of Skylines, and I have tried this modification but im still getting .5 till 4,600rpm and .7 after.

I have cut the black wire, added an earth wire and bolted it to the car. I have done this in 3 different holes and none seem to work, car still hits .5 and boosts to .7after 4600rpm

Any help, should i just keep trying different bolt holes etc??

Cheers

Stick up a picture of the wire you cut :)

Hey lad, no camera at the mo, but there are 2 wires coming from the solenoid, white and black, I cut the black one. Ive read through every page of this thread twice, and the only thin I can think of is the earth?

It still hits the higher boost at 5k, is this right?? As I read that if this black wire is cut but the mod isnt working, then I should only be hitting .5??

Cheers!

From my understanding of this... If you have cut the black wire from the solenoid and earthed it, it is no longer connected to the ECU so it should be on high boost all the time but if the earth is not strong enough, it will stay on low boost all the time. I attached a wire to the Black wire and ran it to a switch in the cabin then earthed it. I get 7 psi at the flick of a switch. Although mine seems to not want to act normally and change from low to high by itself. Have bought another solenoid and will try that. Doesn't really worry me though.

I just flick it when I want it. :woot:

Yeah lads this is the wierd thing, I have cut the wire, can it to a new earth and it still drives normally, just below half until 5 and then just about half.

I dont know why its not just hitting .7 all the time or running low boost all the time??

Any ideas??

I bought my r33 with a fmic, turbo back exhaust and covered pod and this mod had already been done, with a switch in the cabin. I just want to know how i can make the higher level boost go to 10psi by flicking the switch? Will i need a higher rated actuator spring such as the yellow one in this link?

I wanna be able to have two different boost levels that i can run with the flick of a switch from inside the cabin. Would i just be better off to get an electronic boost controller?

I just use it for that ocassional extra kick in the pants.:w00t:

Being pretty new to Skyline ownership, I find the extra little bit of boost is just fine for the moment.

I did read on another forum someone suggested using 2 stock boost solenoids might up the boost by an extra 2 psi. Would this work?

Update to this : Here's a little something I'm working on. It's just a theory.

So far I have got another solenoid and 2 Y pieces + some hose, it's all hooked up except the wiring.

Looks fairly tidy. :thumbsup:

Not sure whether to splice into the power wire to the existing Solenoid or go straight from the Battery...

I'll probably try the Solenoid power first.

I'm thinking I should have :

Normal 5 - 7 psi. Switched 7 psi and with Both Switches flicked... 9 psi.

(although I think mine isn't changing by itself from 5 -7 psi). need to change solenoid over to test.

I hope this Works / Helps. If anyone knows of Any issues / Problems with this, please let us know.

:cheers:

Hi all,

Been looking through this as mine seems to be running on full boost all the time... standard boost gauge sits just below the line from around 2500-3000rpm all the way to 7,000ish. I also get around 275-300km per tank (using 45l as I never run it down past 1/8th full).

I just whacked on a pod filter yesterday and had a good look around the actuator/ solenoid after reading this as I wanted to see if this mod had been done.

I think i'm missing the solenoid and the actuator has been plumbed into the intake pipe. The vac line leading off the pipe that goes into the actuator has been blocked off too.

Can someone confirm if what I have is full 7psi all the time since I have no solenoid? :-)

:rofl:Muhahahaha!!! IT WORKED!!!

Spliced the power from the original solenoid and spliced the earth wire for my original switch.

Quick Blat around the block and the results were :

No switch flicked = 5 - 7psi

1st switch flicked = 7psi

2nd switch flicked = 8psi

Two switches flicked = 10psi.

I Repeat...:rofl:Muhahahaha!!!

Twin Solenoids... Lovely. :cheers:

Good work!

Although i dont see the point. lol.

R32 Actuator, piece of vac hose 10PSI! Muahahaha. lol

I kinda like the idea of switchable boost. Got options :thumbsup:

Funny you should mention an R32 actuator cooz nearly a month ago I bought one and a decat pipe off a dude on this site but I haven't received them yet... Think I've been Stooged. Grrrrrr.

I know you're out there Mr Jones. :angry:

Edited by Not a Pulsar

lol at switchable boost levels...

if you need to be able to "limit" your boost because your a hoon or wateva it may be

then you dont deserve a turbo car...

your switch is your right foot, not 19 switches pinned all over the dash just to earn 10psi lol

  • 7 months later...

lol, as informative as this all is.... i agree it seems a bit over the top. if you want 10 just go for the R32 bits. as for why it doesnt work for some peeps just cutting and earthing the wire, that i dunno. its a pretty fool proof thing to do, just make sure it gets a good earth. even sand around the terminal a bit before screwing it down.

  • 3 weeks later...

for the guys with switches in the cabin:

where did you run the cable? i cant seem to find a 'proper' way through the firewall on the passenger side

..unless you fed it along the firewall to the drivers side and then behind the dash

just trying to keep it as clean as possible where it wont foul anything

I used this one circled in RED.

post-78856-0-04555600-1327903598_thumb.jpg

Poke a hole from engine bay side with a coat hanger etc and feed the wire through.

Comes out up under the glovebox and is a PITA to grab it but it is doable.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

Edited by Not a Pulsar

Thats the one im talking about :)

Im assuming he has ABS, because if he did not im sure the question wouldnt have been asked as it is right in your face with no ABS over it :)

yeah i saw that one behind the ABS but it's next to impossible to feed through (even with small hands)!

i'll try to give it a go but if not it looks like im running a wire through the drivers side

thanks guys!

Its easy! Tape the wire into a coat hanger. lie under the dash and have someone poke it through for you. It comes out somewhere behind the heater. Other than that you don't have any other easy option :(

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
