Hey y’all, 

just got myself a new GReddy profec boost controller and installed it this afternoon. Started the car and let it warm up, everything was running fine, idling with no issues. Once she was warmed up, gave it a rev and instantly the engine cut out. Attempted to start again and it would just splutter a few time and cut out. Strong smell of fuel and also a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust plus a lot of black liquid (not oil, I’m assuming fuel). I’m assuming the cars gone into limp mode as I’ve unplugged and removed the factory solenoid and it’s no longer getting a signal to the ecu?? Also being a 3 port solenoid that came with the GReddy profec, I’m assuming I’ll neeed to also take the car for a tune once I’ve worked out what’s going on. Currently running factory ecu for the moment, I have an apexi pfc w/ hand controller ready to go for when I can take it for a tune. 
 

Any input into what may have gone wrong would be greatly appreciated. 

 

thanks

@Ben C34 Ah shit. So I’ve connected the vacuum port on the intake manifold to the GReddy sensor unit. Removed the factory solenoid and all the lines connected to it. Installed new solenoid, ran a hose from the actuator to one port on the solenoid and another hose to the fitting on the intercooler piping where the factory solenoid had a hose running to. Blocked the fitting on the stainless pipe where the bov plumbs back into the intake as I assumed I didn’t need that anymore after removing old solenoid. Tapped into the 12v acc for the controller and chassis ground. Like I said everything was running, didn’t change any settings on the boost controller. Simply turned the car on, warmed it up and gave it one rev to make sure the controller was getting a correct reading and that was it.

      No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this

      Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.

      This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.

      OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
