Hi people on SAU,

I'm doing my first turbo upgrade and everything has gone relatively smoothly, but I need all of your help with a little problem I have come accross.

I am putting on a HKS 3037 pro s turbo kit onto my 34, and i dont know what to do with the boost lines that go upto the solenoid and i guess off to the ECU. Do I have to build these into the lines onto the hose that runs from the actuator to the compressor housing, or can i just take out the soleniod all together??? Does the ECU need that boost reading? Or was it just for the two stage boost setup on the old turbo?

I was running standard boost on my standard turbo before the upgrade, and want to run around 1.1-1.2 bar on the new one.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

is the 3037 an external gated turbo or does it use internal gate? if its external then just block the old line to the ecu and use the spring in the gate to dictate the boost.

i fits internal gate still block the lines from the olsd solenoid and use just 1 line from the gate to the plenum if i remembered right. eiether way the old solenoid isnt needed.

btw if it is internal gate worth spending some money on the hks adjustable actuator.

hope that helps you out a bit

yeah its an internal gate - the 3037 comes with the HKS adjustable actuator. Cheers for the help. if i disconnect the soleniod will the ECU chuck a mental? of will it still operate fine? I'm using a standard ECU that will be remapped in a week or two when i get it tuned.

Just disconnect the stock solenoid, it probably wouldnt really work as intended with the 3037 anyway. The ecu wont know the difference. Are you using the stock ecu?

i hope not...

yeah I will be/am. As it says in earlier posts, I will be getting it remapped in a week or two.

I will unplug the standard solenoid and see how she goes when i fire her up.

Cheers for the help

Yea just unplugg it and remove all the vaccum lines, the car will run fine without it plugged in, then just hook up a vaccum line from the hks internal wastegate to your intercooler piping, or put in a boost controller.

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
