Hi all!

i was wondering if anyone has a pic of their boost solenoid or if they know where the hoses are suppose to connect to.

I just bought myself a skyline the other day and realised that it was not boosting past 5psi, after reading other topics i realized it was the solenoid. atm i only have the bottom hose on the solenoid connected..

if anyone has pics that would be great!

Thanks in advanced

5 psi is normal for a stock standard 33...

you can make it 7 all the time, as opposed to just above 4500rpm where the actuator opens and lets more air through...

search for a thread called High boost mode or something...

its a r33 yes.

its running at 5psi all the time even when you pass 5k rpm..

has anyone got pics?

"1 hose goes to the w/g actuator and one to a positive boost source.. ie jst on the jpipe"

wheres the J pipe? im new to skylines =P is that anywhere on the intercooler piping?

I had a look at the high boost mod.. will look into it as soon as i get it working properly first.

i'll look for some more pics if you can't see what you need from this ones... it's been a while since i pulled that stock boost controller off and can't remember where it all went, but that's why there are pics.. :D

It is clearly the waste gate and the pressure source T'ed from the top nipple of the solenoid, and the bottom one does its thing buh to where it goes I never touched it.

THANKS!

my bottom one is connected near the pod.. so im guessing i just gotta sort out the top one.

Thanks everyone who helped!

Big UPs for the people on skylinesaustralia forums :D

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
