i just checked it is infact connected properly to the solenoid does it mean that the solenoid is not working then?

is there a chance that it might not be getting enough power to control the solenoid becasue i connected the power line which comes from the greddy unit to the line which came from the back of my cigerette lighter?

i figured out the problem.its the valve uni harness.the white thing that connects to the greddy main unit came right off.probably thats why it wasnt controling the solenoid.

is there anyway to fix that?or should i just order a replacement?

can anyone tell me how to check the solenoid.i want to see that it is working properly before i spend any money on this thing.

Can you cable tie the plug to hold it in?

To check it is working connect a bike pump to the gauge pressure line for the controller and with ignition on pump some pressure into it .

You should hear the solenoid pulsing quickly.

If it were me, I would open up the main unit, solder on a couple of wires to the pads where the external socket is, bring those outside the case to a new multi-pin connector from Jaycar or similar, cut off damaged white plug and replace with matching connector from Jaycar. Job done. 15 minutes plus trip to Jaycar.

@gts boy man great idea.

i checked in jay car

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PP2020

the small one is the picture is the one that will connect to the greddy unit if i can get them to connect the wire to the pin then i dont need to take the main unit apart i think.

i will take that route if i m unable to find a solution.

thnxx alot mate.

SUCCESS!!!

Thanks a lot @gtsboy your advice worked.i bought the white thing from jaycars and it pluged up straight to the main unit.hit 9 psi just in one run.

now i have some questions regarding tuning.

1-since i am auto should i tune it in 2nd or 3rd?

2-lets say my start boost is 8 psi and desired boost is 11 psi.DOES THAT MEAN IN A PROPER TUNE it will boost from 80 to 110?AND THERE SHOULD BE NO FALL IN THE BOOST WHEN ITS OPEN THROTTLE?

3-I am not sure what boost spike is i did only one run until 80 not sure in what gear but i saw the boost go up to 90 around 4500rpm but then it fell.IS THAT BOOST SPIKE?

thanks a lot in advance for all your help guys!!.

:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Good stuff.

Tune in 2nd to start with. 3rd will have you going very fast whilst trying to see what's going on with boost. But after you've got it set up you shoudl check what it does in 3rd also. You might want to adjust it a bit.

With ref to your point 2....yes and yes. Although boost may still drop off at the top end. And that may especially happen if you're getting into R&R territory and there is just too mush fuel and too little ignition advance to keep the fires stoked. The Profec's gain setting is what you should use to try to stop the boost falling away at the top end.

With ref to your point 3....if your start boost is 8 and you're aiming for 11, then 9 is not a spike. If your setpoint was actually 8 at the time, then yes, 9 is a spike.

ya that what i was thinking if i try to tune it in 3rd gear it already goes up to 150 kmh in 5500 rpm.my car is boost 8 psi stock so i am gona tune it for 11.tomorrow i am driving to grampians so hopefully i will get it done there.

so basically spike is if it goes above my desired boost level.for eg i want 11 psi goes up to 12 at some point thats spike.

if boost goes to 11 around 5500 rpm but falls later on that means i need to adjust gain.

all good.

lets see what happens tomorrow.

couldnt wait until grampians. so went out to tullamarine just now.

i achieved 111 with

set 33

gain 33

set gain 70

the gain is too high but i could achieve constant boost throughout the rpm.

with this setting there was a slight drop like 109,108,then it was 110 and just before shifting to 3rd 111.will try to fine tune it tomrrow but is this good enuf?

if your target boost is 11psi you can probably bring up the set gain from 70 (7psi) to 90 or 95, bit closer to your desired boost level.

Or not.

The turbosmart eboost 2 recommends the set point (same as set gain on ptofec) yo be 5 psi less than setting.

But try it and see to be sure.

He's not using the turbosmart eboost. He's using the profec.....which recommends set gain a cpl of psi below target boost. Why would he follow the instructions of a different manufacturer for a completely different boost controller rather than that of the one he is using...?

Thanks for pointing out the thread title

I am aware of what he is using. I added that info so he is aware other manufacturers don't suggest setting the set point so close to the target as it can cause spiking.

Have you ever set up a profec? I have found if the set gain is too close it will spike, using a profec.

At the end of the day I don't care what he does, using it on a stock car is a waste of money.

ya setting set gain too close to wanted max boost gives boost spike.

i have it pretty much tuner actually i think its ok.

@superben.

man i just came back from grampians the roads are really nice and without any cameras so i tested out the car several times in stock boost and high boost.

i donno why u keep sayin putin the boost controller is a waste but 100-180 in 11 psi was really a lot alot faster then the stock boost.

i was actually selecting my mod list according to the HPI R34 VIDEO on youtube.

with a full turbo back exhaust system and 10psi boost they got 33kw gain on wheels.

i know i havent dynoed my car but even if i have 20 kw gain after the boost controller i dont think thats that bad.

What I was saying (badly) is that an electronic controller is a waste in your case . A cheap bleed valve would have achieved the same result for less cash.

Never the less,I'm glad it has made a decent improvement for you.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
