Blitz Spec R Boost Controller

[SS8_Gohan]

Hey guys,

after a long search, i managed to get myself a blitz spec r that didn't force me to sell body parts to fund the purchase.

Second hand purchase and i'm not sure i've got everything i need to hook it up?

this is what i've got...

and then found this listing on ebay, which i "think" shows what comes with it if you buy it brand new

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLITZ-DUAL-...emZ300267594132

and then i found the manual, and i do seem to be missing some stuff

question is though, do i have enough to get it all working. I suppose the main part is that i have the controller and the solenoid... but i don't seem to have any pluggy bits (don't know what you call it)

so yeah, was this a wasted purchase, or can i get it working?

cheers,

chinny

its all you need, these things are simple. 2 wires goto the solenoid, the other two (one to 12v and one to ground) and thats it. Add some vacume line and your sweet.

Looks a bit rough...no install kit...hope it was cheap.

here's a pic of one i just sold and what you 'should' have got.

given what the yen and usd are doing now it was cheap

see i don't have those plug things at the end of the wires.... the 'harness'? do i need them, or i can i just wire the stuff in? could i buy those little plug ends from an electronics store and just split the wires into the plug?

from the parts list and paul's brand new kit from an i-colour, looks like i'm missing..

- extra vacuum line (black)

- rubber house (blue)

- white plastic hose join (for black vacuum line)

- end plug things

- wire taps

- t piece

would i be able to buy that sort of stuff from electronics stores?

i have a feeling he gave me an older style solenoid. It's dual, but not the one for a spec r. You can seem from paul's solenoid there are blue and white wires, just like mine.

yet, when i check ebay at the other spec-r's for sale (they've all popped up now after i bought mine damn it!) there is a mysterious purple wire that comes from the solenoid. So that's 3 wires from the solenoid, white/purple/blue.

Can any who has a spec-r confirm if they have 3 coloured wires from their solenoid?

i paid via paypal, so i have some protection... but this guy was like a platinum seller, and he confirmed for me it was a spec-r boost controller.

Yeah mate mine has 3 wires. blue white purple. Mine is about 4 years old.

[SS8_Gohan]

bugger. I was checking as many spec-r pics as i could and EVERY one has 3 wires for the solenoid, that must be one of the differences between the original Dual SBC that DiRTGarage was selling, and the Spec-R.

I'm going back and forth with the seller trying to tell him i do not have a spec-r solenoid, but he's playing hard ball at the moment.

thanks for your help guys.

i managed to sort out a refund for the one i got, and then luckily found this one on ebay for about $20,

looks a bit more complete

and you can see clearly here that the Spec-R solenoid picks up an extra wire (PURPLE) don't know if i need it, but at least i know i have all the right stuff now

anyways, thanks for helping to confirm things for me. The one i originally got probably would have done the job, but i feel a lot more comfortable having bought the second one

cheers,

ok, the 'take two' Spec-R arrived the other day, and it's getting installed tomorrow..

doing it after hours with a mate and his workshop, but neither of us has installed one before.

just wondering if there is anything we should be mindful of? any tips/tricks? good places to put the solenoid and bc in the cabin?

i think i read somewhere the solenoid shouldn't be more than 1 metre away from the turbo, i think

anyways, any tips would be great

cheers,

daniel
