Hi I'm trying to override the factory boost solenoid thingy. I cannot find the solenoid, I have an SII r33 rb25det in a 240sx.

I want to ground the solenoids ground wire permenatly as done in the DIY section, however I cannot find an ecu pinout that shows exactly which wire it is. Can anyone tell me where this darn wire is? Thank you!

you probably dont have it

the solenoid is drilled to the wall of the engine bay in a skyline

easy way to override it is to just run a vacuum hose from the charged piping straight to the wastegate actuator

I just did that, it still does the same thing, goes to 5lbs then evntually to about 9lbs of boost. Is this some form of boost spike? Or is there a hidden boost solenoid built into the i/m or is everything just normal?

Also when I hit boost cut wil the car cut ignition/fuel or both?

if you have an FMIC and exhaust its going to creep a bit... mine was creeping to about 9 lbs after installing mine. Its normal.

So if i put a boost controller on could it creep any higher?

if you don't leave it completely loosening, if you add pressure to the MBC's spring it will increase the boost pressure. I wouldnt run more than 11-12 psi. After that its hit or miss on how long the turbine wheel stays attached...

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
