is it ok to remove all the pipes from the turbo to the soilernod as i put a boost controll on and i run it form the turbo to the wastgate and can you tell me what some cheap things to do to my motor is to make it faster

[NismoGirl]

Uhm.. Translation anyone?

I seriously can not understand a word of that.

[strutto]

I think what Chris is trying to say is, can someone recommend him a good mechanic...

[NismoGirl]

I thought so

Well I'm gunna have a serious go...

is it ok to remove all the pipes from the turbo to the soilernod

What solenoid? Is it stock? Or part of a boost controller? Why do you want to remove all the pipes? Pics...

as i put a boost controll on and i run it form the turbo to the wastgate

What do you run from the turbo to the wastegate? What boost controller?

and can you tell me what some cheap things to do to my motor is to make it faster

Define cheap... Whats done ATM?

DIY: Boost Controll

Many of you may have been fooled into buying bleed valves, in some cases even expensive electronic items. All i can do is frown at this behaviour. You have all you need to make your own at your local hardware store! What your going to need for this exercise is a piece of vacumm hose, prefferably long enough to reach from your actuator to near your pod or airbox and a screw (pictured below) and a screw driver (philips head)

After obtaining these items you need to decide one of two things. Just how much boost do you wish to run and whether or not you want to be able to adjust it.

OPTION 1) Run the vacumm hose off your actuator with no screw in the end. This method is very effective performance wise, however it MAY lead to destuction of things such as your turbo. Not to worry fuel cut will save you. This method shows how truly hardened you are and indicates just how much boost your stock turbo can handle before literally throwing chunks of the exhaust wheel out your exhaust. Some may view this method as a little extreme even though it has proven promising on certain cars . Not to worry option 2 is for these people.

OPTION 2) This option is for the light hearted. You take your vaccum hose and bring it all the way to near the pod. You then use your screw and screwdriver to implant the screw in the hose. (seen below) The further you screw it in the less boost you will run. To get maximum performance we suggest road tuning, to optimise the boost level.

omg thats cheap

how does it work?

works well....nice work stealing my tutorial josh the link to that is in qld section somewhere ill post something in it to bring it back to the top...

The air bleeds out via the screw you put into the dodgy pipe off the actuator line. Works well. Held a soild 12psi on the dyno with no leaks.

what are we looking at in the first two piccies??

am i correct in assuming it's the vacuum hose coming off the actuator??

i hope no-one has done this to their cars. seems seriously dodgy to me.

[Nismo_Boy]

Correct Myr32. We did it to my car, very dodgy indeed. That and it was more easy then hooking up my Apexi boost contoller.

lol yea, as josh said we did it to his car and it held boost suprisingly well. And his Apexi boost controller was crap and didnt work, who wants to go around on 7psi, something had to be done and this was it. Dodgy? yes. dangerous? probably. Did it work? You bet ya...

[myR32]

interesting.

just let me know how long your engine holds up and i'll consider doing this to my car.

though i suppose it sure beats spending hundreds of $$$ on electronics that don't want to work.

I have now sold the car; I had this dodgy item on the car for around 6 months with no signs or ware and or damage.

As it was only holding 12psi.. There should be any difference between that, and 12psi on a real controller.

I had a compression check down before the new owner got the car, and all was fine. The turbo was in ok condition for a car with 140,000kay.

[Squizz]

Or if it's a 32 run exactly 1 metre of vacuum hose between the wastegate and the boost line on the compressor cover for a comfy 10psi if you don't have a front mount.

$5, bargain.

[Nismo_Boy]

Don't be silly Jayzilla. My option is cheaper and more dodgy!

[predator]

just block the wastegate.. that is uber efficient
