How To Install Boost Control On R34?

Hi,

This has not yet been covered and i would like anyone with an R34 who has installed a boost control to assist people like myself who have had trouble installing one. As you may know, this is not as simple as the r33, as the R34 has a separate pipe running off the power steering pump into the boost line, which makes the whole process allot different to the r33.

I would like to get any help/walkthroughs/pics as to the installation of a boost control on the 34. As mentioned above, the biggest problem is getting around the power steering pump pressure line (which is tapped into the boost line).

Your help is much appreciated, and believe me, I've looking for a thread like this and its completely closed down.

Cheers.

Chris

to install a boost controller you only need:

boost controller

boost feed

wastegate/actuator

vac hose

you can block off the line of the boost controller going to the 'boost line', and T the new boost controller into an existing vacuum hose. no dramas there.

it doesnt matter which vacuum hose you T it into, just as long as the hose isnt too long.

I can understand that...However, it doesnt sound logical to tap the power steering vacuum line into the boost control does it? Apparently the power steering boost line is the power steering modules way of venting the compression from using it - Thus needs to vent somewhere it can be disposed of....probably not best t-ing it into the boost controller...

Additional help??? Pics...anything..

looking at my r 34 could you not just use the lines going to the stock solinoid??? i see one pipe goes to the wastegate and the other is a vaccum source......but instead of being like the r33 coming out of the cooler pipe it comes from the elbow right after the turbo...... but it still vaccum......someone must have pics of this as i wouldnt t off the power steering vacuum if u dont need to....... :rolleyes:

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
