Reset the computer by disconnecting the battery, put the brake pedal few times (to ensure there's no residual charge), then reconnect the battery. Good idea to take it for a good drive now, so it rema

Karu it doesn't matter because you won't use the solenoid at all once you install a boost controller. And with stock ecu and turbo do NOT run over 12 psi, naybe even 10 depending on your car.

Why on earth would you want to run lower boost down low? That's heaps pointless.

hahaha sorry when i posted i was thinking if i did this mod then the solenoid would run 7psi down low instead of 5 but then the boost controller would run 12psi up high. I worded it all wrong. Im new to forced induction.

Make the auto transmission last longer is my guess.

Answer above :)

what does high/low boost read on the stock guage?

as in what KG/CM2?

Stock reading as in x100mmHg (millimeter of mercury)

+7 on the gauge is about 13.5psi..

So 5psi would be about 1/3 of the gauge and 7 would be around half way?

Someone correct me if im wrong.

trying to work out what boost im running on the stage,

for some reason the prev owner installed an aftermarket guage which reads another random unit.

stock guage

aftermarket

IMAG2043_BURST009_zps636e2e30.jpg

so 0.6 is... 8.5psi?

does that sound right for high boost for a 25 neo?

0.6 bar is 8.7psi, so yeah you have about8.5 as its a bit under 0.6.

and yes that sounds about ok. depending on variables/mods...

oh, and that aftermarket gauge is 'bar' which is pretty commonly used as well as psi.

ok fellas . read ALL this. am rebuilding an S1 R33 (don't know its history.? ) no boost actuator under bonnet ..? so bought one.. NOW I find out there is NO PLUG for this unit in the loom anywhere..??? SO...am thinking a "MBC" is the way to go..? ( I have a few sitting here ) but for the life of me cannot remember how to plug one in the system on a R33..? cannot seem to throw a pic up to show you NO PLUG..?

can a member give me a quick PIC please on where a mbc goes in these lines please..? and will ditch/remove the stock one being I can never get power to it :angry: ...!!!! all the best...nick .

OK. have "searched" this site and FOUND some answers.. :yes:

Hi guys, I'm trying to do some detective work on what my cars previous owner got up to. I think he may have done this mod to my R34 GT-T, though it's kind of sloppy. In the attached photo, you can see the open wires.

Now, I have an aftermarket boost controller, meaning I should not have to worry about this variable boost. However, this is not my issue. I thought that I should cover up the open wires pictured, so i sprayed contact cleaner on them and wrapped them in electrical tape - first I taped the black wire, then i taped that tightly to the white wire.

However, I am now constantly blowing my tail light fuse (which includes dash lights and parkers). Could this possibly be related, and does the black wire need to be earthed?

Thanks!!

Cheers for the reply, I appreciate it

I would be looking at where the EBC is getting power from. ie in the dash / console area etc.

I've blown that fuse wiring things like gauges before.

Sorry mate, but what was the EBC?

I've checked the tail lights, they are OK, now i start the long process of elimination. Apparently cigarette lighters are often the main culprit.

Electronic Boost Controller.

Lighter is often used to power gauges etc...

Of course, when i did the stereo install I do remember that it was taking power (or at least ignition/illumination) from there - what should i be looking out for?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
