Boost Solenoid

[lighty01]

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

hey man.

im assuming its a R33?

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

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.

thanx for the pics princess

can you tell me where they are connected?

is it the top or bottom to the wastegate?

n the other to the intercooler piping correct?

by the looks of it the bottom to the wastegate, and the top is tee pieced to 2 places on the intercooler piping?

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.

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..

THANKS!

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

Thanks everyone who helped!
