Guys,

After reading many threads and trying to find out how to connect my boost solenoid back up, i have done it but just want to ensure it is correct.

It was setup to bypass the boost solenoid l(hose from top nipple to bottom nipple) on the solenoid.

Below is a pic of what i have done, is this correct?

Any feed back would be great!

Also, While i am on the subject of boost solenoid's, is there any benefit of using an R32 GTR boost solenoid on my R33 GTST?

I was using it on my VL i used to own!

That looks correct. From the aluminium piping it goes thru the T piece to the turbo actuator. The T'd off pipe goes into the solenoid (as you have it) and then the other side of the solenoid goes to the intake pipe (ie it bleeds off pressure that the actuator see's.

Not sure if its std piping from alu pipe, but note that you need to have the restrictor inline between the T piece and alu piping.... else it wont work.

thanks fastrotor,

i ended up trying it on sunday anyway, its all good. The restricter must be in there as it is boosting correctly, 5psi then 7-8 @ 4500 and when the solenoid was bypassed it was hitting around 11-12psi. Feels alot more responsive and smoother now than what it was just bypassing the solenoid, just not as quick :P

Looking at getting a profec b now so all is good.

cheers mate

Glad to hear it all works ok mate. You could also look into a plug in computer that does boost control.... save spending money on both !

I use a link, and it allows you to program what boost you want at what revs. This is great and once setup, works great. I run 11psi on mine and at about 6000 rpm + i roll the boost off to 9psi.... i did this as on the dyno it would nose over in power...... so regulating to a lower boost keeps the wastegate open instead of closing and trying to mantain a boost level thru a small housing...... thereby extending your power curve due to keeping the turbo to motor backpressure lower.. So instead of dropping power at 6500 rpm i lowered boost and it maintained power to 8000 rpm !

Some helpful hints hopefully

Gary

good stuff.

Its all about sweet talking the missis. They want a house and we want 600HP, haha

baby seat fits great in the back :rolleyes:

Haha, thats ok, i know what you mean. Im doing up the house currently, and ontop of the skyline i also own an rx-7 ! Both worked alot !

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
