hi guys

got a strange problem with avc-r

for some reason the solanoid dosen't engage anymore

Ussually I will hear a click sound when the boost setting is changed from A to b

All the other sensor seem to still be working (duty ,revs ,kms,etc)

But no boost

it stopped working while it was on a dyno run ,

the mechanic found some pretty eratic spiking going,so i guess im lucky it happened on the dyno

so he set the boost to run of the actuator so i guess its pretty much running standard

I am not 100% sure how to test or where to start ,has anyone had the same problem or

Any idea why this may of happened

Perhaps check the actual tubing? I've never had an EBC but I thought there was some issue there if you didn't mount it close enough to something else it would spike up?

Also it may be worth testing the actual solenoid - now I'm not sure how much current it's expecting (i would imagine 12v) but if you're mechanically/electronically minded you could always try to set off the solenoid itself with an electrical feed like a battery - just to see if it clicks over. If it doesn't solenoid is busted.

*insert disclaimer here: never owned an ebc could be totally in the wrong*

    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
