my r33 gtst needs to pass an EPA test and to do so i need to have standard boost control parts running. at the moment i have a duel stage boost controller and it runs fine with the duel stage. when i put the vac lines to the standard controller it overboosts. can someone tell me what vac lines need to go where? also i have made sure the plug that comes from the standard controller is plugged in and i have even tried another one from a mates car. could the wiring for the standard controller be used for the aftermarket unit? if so what should i be testing for with the multi meter? the after market controller has an earth wire and a wire running through the firewall and i cant see if the wire from the standard plug has been cut as it dissapears into a loom. any help would be much appreciated. thanks, brad (also my car has a standard turbo,FMIC and at the moment the airbox is fitted and i have checked for vaccum leaks)

You won't need a multimeter... the standard solanoid should give 5psi if it's not working properly, and 7psi if it is.

I suggest that your plumbing is not quite right... from the intake pipe down the bottom, the pipe should come into the bottom of the solanoid (I think.. if not, switch them around), and then the top one goes to your wastegate actuator.

from memory one of the lines was running to a T peice, also one line had a little restrictor in it, if thats not in the right place that may cause your problem.

Let me work out what needs to go where cos im in the exact same boat as you, i have a dual stage boost controller installed and i need to put the standard one back on so i can get it trough RoadWorthy.

Ok here is what i worked out on how to properly install the stock boost controller.

First off there is a hose from the actuator goin to a T peice, its only short and it has a yellow band on it because it has a brass restrictor in it.

From the T peice it goes to the BOV retuirn pipe.

Then from the T peice it goes to the bottom of the boost controller.

The last is a straight hose goin from the intercoller pipe to the top of the boost controller.

Can someone please confirm this for me, i just want to be %100 sure.

I mainly want to know if the restrictor is in the short hose coming off the actuator and goin to the T peice.

I hjope this helps, im %99 sure this is right which i would love someone to confirm this all for me ..

no thats wrong.

(if you have a front mount there will be a hose from the bov pressure line (the vacuum hose that opens the bov) instead of the intercooler pipe)

there should be hose hose from an intercooler pipe. this goes to a T piece. from the T piece there should be 1 hose going to the wastegate, and 1 to the lower hose of the factory solenoid. the top hose of the solenoid should go back to the intake (bov plumback pipe).

Ok this is straight from the Nissan Fast program, so thjere is no disputing it.

Top of the boost controller goes straight to the wastegate.

The bottom goes to the T peice.

One side of the T peice goes straight to the intercooler pipe.

The other side of the T peice goes straight to the BOV return plumbing.

Thats it, 100%..

I also found a picture in another thread showing the stock setup i described.

The restrictor is in the short hose goin from the intercooler pipe to the T peice, make sure you have the restrictor in place.

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!

      Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
