i just bought a GTR and ill be pulling my EBC out of my GTSt to pu it into my GTR.

im not sure how to do it though.

there is 2 actuators for 2 turbos, so do i use a Y joiner to hook them both up to the solenoid? also im not sure where to hook it up to the FPR.

has any1 done it before? can you link pics?

cheers

yeah its pretty easy assuming you have the standard piping under the plenum.

the pressure source for the new solenoid is a vacuum pipe which is at the rear of the plenum (underneath) hook that to the input of the solenoid. the output of the solenoid goes to one of the 2 pipes under the plenum just above the oil filter (it comes from the standard boost controller). Not sure if it is the top or the bottom one off the top of my head - you need to trace it around the motor, it is the standard line that goes to both wastegates.

when you've done that you need to block 2 points in the standard pipes - the hose that you remove from the plenum needs to be blocked, and the other line that goes to the standard boost solenoid has to be dropped too.

this is the easiest way, you can retain all the standard piping and even mount the new solenoid where the factory one normally sits.

Im about to fit the same controller to my Autech Stagea. Pics would be a great help. so far ive spent nearly 4 hours searching the net for info on how to fit one of these to a GTR.....lol

will have 2nd attempt tomorrow at fitting it!

yeh its hard hey lol. unless i see some awesome pics ill be getting my mechanic to do it...

there is nothing on the net for the Greddy EBC into a gtr :dry:

you and me both man!!!!

FFS!

*takes a big deep breath

i sort of got a rough idea how to do it... just by tracing the vacum line from the wastegates of both turbos back around the plenum side of the engine but i lose sight of the line under the plenum lol....

its hopeless lol

sorry my next post went missing in the forum move. the top pipe of the 2 under the plenum is the one that goes straight to the wastgates. so give it a shot joeleo87

to make sure you have it right, turn the boost controller off (ie standard boost) pull 2nd gear on some open road, when you get to about 3500rpm if it goes over 14psi its not right....just get straight off the throttle if its wrong as long as you are paying attention everything will be fine.

so if its the wrong hose. it will just boost right up? and no damage whats so ever?

ill give it a go tonight duncan :(

if it works ill make a DIY!

um thats not quite what I meant.

If its wrong it will boost to eleventy billion - so if it goes past 14psi get straight off the throttle. If its wrong, and you keep your foot down you willl kill turbos and/or engine.

If its right it will stop at the right place and you will enjoy the extra boost :rolleyes:. make sure the controller is off when you test - this will mean you only get standard 12-14psi boost

i was thinking duncan, can i just replace the stock boost solenoid with the EBC 1?

or will that just poo things? to eleventy billion?

where do you hook up the unit's vacuum line? it says in the guide to connect it to the fuel pressure regulator? where might i find that?

photos would be a great help right now...

im lost :S

thats the ezy part man.

if you follow the fuel rail (where the injectors are) at the end (radiator side) you'll find the FPR, there will be a small hose coming off it going into the engine, you put the 'Y' connection :P

The ezy way is to just replace the stock boost controler valve. Its very simple an is just as effective. I did my 32 gtr this way any had not problems.

I have also tried it with the controler mounted on the passenger suspension tower with the hoses cut in near the actuator's. It's a lot harder to do and you have to be confident with removing the top turbo pipes to gain access.....

Also as a note to all tune all the setting on the sontroler right down and slowly adjust them up...I started at about 50% on all settings and it was way to high. Start at about 5% on everything and work your way up to your desired boost setting.

i just installed the vacuum line to the Fuel pressure regulator. Ive got a strange feeling that my car is already running 14psi.. even without the solenoid connected up to the main unit. I hope not, cos then i will be dissapointed after my tune...

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
