Hi Everyone

I'm just wondering what people reckon on this install plan for a R33 Gtr with Greddy Profec Electronic Boost Controller.

post-120471-0-73387600-1402911708_thumb.jpg

I plan to run a new line that goes from one turbo actuator to the other and tee into that line. This will go to the boost solenoid.

Next I will put a barb fitting on the intercooler pipe as close as i can to the turbo's, This will go to the boost solenoid.

Next I will Tee into the factory boost gauge line that will supply the Senser Unit with boost and vacuum.

I will block or completely remove the stock lines that supply the stock boost solenoid. Also my question is if i unplug the factory boost solenoid will it cause any issues with my tune or throw a ecu code if so how would I fix it.

For the wiring I plan to connect it upto the cigarette lighter light.

Below is how I think it should look in the engine bay?

Basically correct. Your drawing is wrong around the factory boost sensor. The line from it that goes into the car is of course a cable, not a hose, so you want to tee your Profec's boost sensor into the line on the other side of the factory sensor.Als

Also, don't hook the Profec's power supply into the ciggy lighter light. It won't work unless you have your lights on. The ciggy lighter itself is on accessories, so will work, or you can steal power from the accessories line feeding the stereo.

Don't unplug the factory solenoid if you're worried about it. I don't think that they cause a code, and you could always test it yourself to find out anyway. ^ of one, half a dozen of the other really.

Thanks for your reply. At the moment most of the lines are plumbed in, Now left to do is drill and tap holes in the twin turbo hot pipe, The Greddy manual say's for two holes e.g. one for each turbo but could I get away with just the one barb fitting at the end of the twin turbo hot pipe?

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
