It is most likely hoses on the wrong way after rebuild, go back and recheck your work

Has it worked at all in its current state, if so it could be a faulty solenoid, if not then check the hoses are right

To check actuators you have to apply air pressure at different levels and measure how far the arm has moved on both to make sure they have moved the same difference, manual bleed valve will not fix this, this will most likely not limit you to 16psi either

You will also need to check preload on the actuators, done the same way as above, but this time record the movement vs pressure appied, IIRC they should start to open about 2psi under what they should set at and be fully open about 7psi over, this is because they don't have the manifold pressure pushing the gate open internally, I could be a bit off with these as I haven't done it in a long time, and this is most likely the problem

Not enough air flow would result in over boosting as it doesn't have enough air to open the gates and shut gates means no bypass which gives to much boost

What happens if you turn off the boost controller

Not my work! It is connected now, just working on 16lb, not what I want it to be which is 20+.

Is there a way to diagnose a faulty solenoid. Can I force a signal into it and check it for, I dunno, clacking noises.

Switching it out for a known working one is the best/easiest way if you can get one

What does it make with the controller off, or if you put a joiner where the solenoid is

Has this boost controller worked prior to this or is it a new fit and never worked right

1. I dont have one and live handy to approximately no one (Country WA). Other wise a simple replace piece by piece would be the go.

2. NFI.

3. Well it is a bit of a saga. Used to work but only at 16lb because that is what I previously wanted to run. Wanted to screw the thing up now but now it turns out it wont build boost. If it is fkd then for exactly how long it has been like that is anyones guess. The thinking was it was the stock actuators that were the problem. Replacing them was supposed to fix any boost spike issues but clearly hasnt.

As I said the easiest and quickest way to problem solve this is to get a manual bc, pre set boost with a compressor ,plug it in and see if your car boosts to that level. If it does send the ebc away to get fixed. Just make sure knock and boost cut management can protects things in case. 1 hour job.

How exactly do you set a manual bleed valve with a compressor ?

And if you can do it that way how does it allow for the pressure in the manifold trying to push open the wastegate flap ?

With the controller turned off it should run up to wastegate pressure, what happens when you do that, or is that when you get 16psi ?

My guess is still the hoses have been done the wrong way, get the operators manual and double check their on the right way

it was a joke in response to this:

This may be the problem do you think?..and seeing it holds 22psi without the bc.

If you want more power, you need more boost. If you want more boost, then its time to start playing around with your EBC. Or get a different tuner that can actually diagnose these things.

If you run 22 psi on actuator pressure, then your problem is your EBC, thats it.

I couldn't get more than 15 psi out of my GT3076R

problem was stock actuator (genuine Garrett)

replaced it with a 18 psi large can actuator from ATP Turbo

can get 26 out of it now

Has HKS actuators. I was told I needed to replace the stockers which I did. Still no more boost.

How much preload? Trent used to recommend 10mm as a starting point. Did you check they're operating in unison?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
