R34 2 Stage Boost.

[R34P3R]

i was reading in the forced induction section that you can change the 2 stage boost to just run 7 all the time. the guy who did it was having problems but i was wondering if you guys would recommend doing this and if it is hard to do. from what i read you have to cut a wire and then ground it or something.

[R34_Wong]

It's pretty easy. Essentially, theres a sensor which has a white and a black wire going into it. Cut the black wire and ground it to a nut (closest and easiest one is the Strut bar bolt).

Once thats done, start the car and give it a boot!

[R34P3R]

before i do it. is this the wire?

[NISZILA]

Yea man. Thats the one. All it does is stop the solenoid valve from working, so it means that your car runs 7psi all the time.

is it any good?... i mean, whats the point of doing it... wouldnt boost controller do the same thing?... im confused!

[NA_Goodness]

Boost controllers do work better, but they cost a fair bit. This mod is free and easy until you yet around to installing the EBC.

Personally the factory dual stage is awesome... Does exactly what its designed to do, and give you the power where its supposed to be, in the higher rev range.

or maybe thats the 20det in me talking =D

my friends told me if i do it i might get boost spikes... also someone on the forums has done it and its boosting to 15psi now and its dropped to 4... what are the chances of this happening?

[RICCA]

reALLY WANTING TO know if so i might give it a try!

[NISZILA]

Boost spikes??? Some how I don't think so. Its basically a factory setup, its just not running dual stage. I don't see how boost spikes can happen.

Boosting to 15 psi also seems crazy. I mean, the wastegate actuator opens at 7psi. There is nothing in the lines like an EBC or manual boost controller, so the wastegate actuator is doing all the work. Don't know how he possibly boosted to 15psi.

[NA_Goodness]

Thats what I was thinking. If u get boost spike after doing this, you would have got it before as well. Nothing will change other then more boost at low RPM. Whoever said that is either speaking shit, or had a massive problem. Or is confused. Either way, they're wrong.

Dooo it Sunny!!!

Is gaining 2psi really worth it.

[RICCA]

ill rather buy a EBC or BC

What are stock 34 running 6psi ?

You can feel the difference when you do this little mod. 2psi may not be much, but hey, its a free 2psi.

R34's run a dual stage boost same as the R33's. They go from 5psi to 7psi. With the mod its a constant 7psi

Come on guys. Enough questions. Just do it or buy an EBC or an ECU.

[RICCA]

yer Might try it till i get my EBC let ppl no how it goes lol free 2 psi helps !

[Tezzah]

Oh there goes your fuel bill!!! hahah =D

[RICCA]

haha Dw Petrol is low atm Just happy to get my Liscnce back Soon 15 DAYS

[Tezzah]

LOW, WTF?

When it first hit 1 dollar a litre we were all complaining about how expensive it is.

IMO, petrol is not cheap. when it hits 80cents a litre, i will call it "normal price" but it is still not cheap

[RICCA]

Dude its the lowest its been in how long well you rather pay 1.45 or more

or

99Cents ??

its low Yes!! Soo SHHH they reckon will hit 89 / 90 near end of DEC

[Tezzah]

It should never have gone this high in the first place.

now consumers will 'settle' for 99 cents a litre thinking it is 'normal'. next time, prices will hit 2dollars a litre. then they will come down to 1.20 and people will be like "OMG SO CHEAP"....
