Standard Boost Solenoid On Turbo Upgrade

[blitza]

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...

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

unplug that rubbish and pussy-foot around a bit. The actuator should do the job. My ECU was fine after i D/C the solenoid.

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.
