R34 Turbotech Install, Wont Stay Under 1kg/cm

[nissanmanS12]

Hey guys,

Ive had these turbotech boost controllers on heaps of cars, including my current S14 200sx which was solionoid controlled just like the R33 etc.

Now on my R34 ive tryed hooking it up as all i want is the boost to come on sharper not actaully run anymore boost like normal but it wont work, all it dus is make the boost go more and hit about .8kgcm2 which i dont want to run!

The car has a Blitz catback and apexi pod.

Any ideas?? COME ON R34 OWNERS HELP ME OUT Im sure theres plenty out there using these yes...

I have wound the spring right out as far as it will go and it still wont boost any lower...I wound it right in (dumb but still no change)

It boosts fine when u run it back stock again

THANKS for putting up with yet another turbotech boost controller thread

Cheers,

Yea ive dun all that, i dont understand how PHYSICALLY how it can not work now lol..

thanks tho mate

Any R34 owners have pics of their setup...

I found that if you plug up one of the vaccum lines from the solinoid it stops the boost gauge from working

go take a pic of how you have it hooked up and post it up

one side of the boost controller should be connected to the pipe coming off the elbow right off the turbo which leads to the intercooler.....the other connection goes to the wastegate actuator....... the tpiece and hose from original solinoid u dont need and the other vacuum line which leads to a pipe can be blocked off. Also check the boost controller...wind it right out and check the spring and ball are free..... i had an issue where the spring got stuck in the thread grooves of the unit hence even with the bolt right out was making high boost.....hope this helps......a pic would make it easier.....

Make sure you dont have it in back-to-front. yes I've done it, boosted way too much with the screw out as far as possible. Flipped it over and all was good!

[nissanmanS12]

Thanks guys, ive taken a pic of how its setup..

I took the spring out the controller and pulled it out a tad.

It boosts a bit lower now but still with the controller wound all the way out it boosting an extra 1-2psi.... very odd from my experiances with these.

THANKS

the one thats marked "no airflow, put a csrew in the end anyway just to be sure.

i think youve wound it out too far, the ball has fallen into the other bit, unscrew it and try again

[rgr34]

thats the way i connected mine and it works fine....must be your bleed valve itself......

I have an r33 so mine is possibly a little different, but I have taken my solenoid out completely. Want me to take some photos in the morning?

[cheez]

how much boost are u running? 10 psi? if thats all u want to run get an r32 wastegate actuator, they are set to 10psi, replace the actuator that the r34 has, they are the same, and then just run a hose froom the cooler piping to the actuator.

done, 10psi with no boost spikes.

[nissanmanS12]

Thanks guys, got it all sorted, ripped the controller out again and the bal was infact stuck.

Running 7psi now, i just wanted to get that boost on a little quicker. Its alot better when it comes on boost now and dusnt need as much foot or fuel to get that driveable torque thru

THANKS HEAPS FOR THE REPLIES GUYS
