WHATS Wrong With This???

[Fazt_R33]

g'day fellaws.

i have installed a stage 3 boost controller. but i cant set the psi's.

at all 3 stages the psi are set to min. but on ma boost gauge it shows 14.5psi at the 3 stages.

now i noe that 14.5psi is going to kill ma tubo and thats y i need ur help ASAP.

have a look at the pics. tell me if i left a hose out or didnt block a hose... or wrong way around.

wateva helps.

now its electronic obviously. so i got the wiring done by a mechanic.

im not sure if the stock solonoid should stay wired, and jst bypass the hoses, or disconnect completly?

thanks guys any help will be greatly appreciated.

Plumb your new ebc directly to the actuator and a point just after the compressor outlet or where ever the r33 gets it's boost signal from and bypass the factory solenoid completely. You can leave the solenoid hooked up but just make sure you block off any hoses that will cause a boost leak.

so i can completely remove the stock solonoid! great. there are no hoses going to this solonoid anymore! nothing to block

where is the actuator , i thought wastegate is the safer and more logical way to connect the ebc to!?!

jst cant figure y i cant set ma boost less dan 14.5psi...

:bs!:

[Fazt_R33]

oh yea.

do the stock solonoid wires need to be connected to the stock solonoid or can i get rid of it/?

[BHDave]

Ah, thought you had the two in tandem as the new ebc is tee'd into something.

The actuator controls the wastegate so we're probably talking about the same thing.

So now i'm stumped because if you remove the facory boost controller the boost should drop as the wastegate is pretty soft so with the new ebc hooked up and switched off it should read about 6-8psi depending on other mods

[Fazt_R33]

mods = 3inch madrel bent turbo back [nismo], apexi intake & apexi bov.

its jst hooked up to the elec solonoid, stock one no longer is hosed or wired to anything! i tried wiring the stock solonoid but no diference.

the 2 blue hoses are the only thing conected to the new solonoid and the wiring to the controls in the cabin.... i have check the instructions and the hoses are going into the right coms, maybe this will giv u a beter idea.....

thanks bhdave...

The question is, is it a plumbing problem or an electronic set up problem.

The way I do it;

Eliminate the plumbing possibility first. Unplug the wiring from boost control solenoid, but leave the vacuum hoses. You should have standard boost, the only thing holding the wastegate closed is the spring rate in the wastegate actuator.

If you have normal (low boost) then it is an electronic set up problem. Reconnect the wiring and read the set up instructions. Set it up EXACTLY as per the instructions.

Hope that helps:cheers:

if it was electrical , wat would it be....

as i am sure that the ign, earth, blue ext, purple ext are properly connected, the graydoes not need to be connected as im runnig closed loop.

my only dout is that the mechanic connected the orange [boost sensor wire] in the wrong spot!?

any help'?

can some one explain this diagrams for me!?

one of them mention blocking a hose that is meant to go to bov? im a bit confused...

Don't worry about it, it's blocking the stock BOV return line as they have fitted an atmo venting BOV.

All you need is to tee into a boost signal point (basically any point between the turbo compressor outlet and the plenum will do, your diagram has it tapped into the fuel reg signal line by the look of it which should work okish) and a connection to the actuator. No tees in the connection between the solenoid and the actuator, just a single bit of pipe.

If it's connected this way and you switch off the ebc you should have slightly less than the cars stock boost and so you have eliminated any problem with the plumbing as SK has stated.

no the pics above ur reply are from some else, here are my actual pics

any help will be greatly appreciated

cheers BHDave

problem solve....

was the return hose from cooler pipe to intake pipe...

il post a pic for ref... thanks anyways guys...
