My mechanic is not sure where to tap the vacuum of my Boost controller because the closer lines to the turbo are in metal and he don't want to cut these. He said it's better to have them the closer you can from the turbos.

Any thought??

Would this Tutorial for RB20DET work the same for the RB26 ??

Also,

I broke my valve unit harness on my profec2 and I can't find which wire goes where.

So, If you take the back of the unit in front of you. you will find the power harness and the vacuum to your left. Which wire is on the extreme right? white or green ?

Thanks a lot!!!

HIJACK!

I have realised that my bnr32 doesnt have the solenoid! Its been taken out and the two lines to it plugged up... Could definately be a reason it feels down on power - but my question is should I buy an original solenoid and put it in or just replace the original unit with a profec B???

Before someone makes comment, I do know that I wont be able to adjust the boost via a factory item (not really what I want at this stage anyway but will in the future).

u sure u dont have a boost tap of some sort controlling boost pressure?

sometimes there hidden or cable tied somewhere hard to see, have abit of a look around, especialy on the turbo side...

wellyou allready have the profec B, so you may aswell put that in now and just get the boost set to what you want it on now.then you can just turn it up latter when your ready,unless of course you want to buy a stock one,

So, i have to tap METAL LINES? there's no way to by-pass this!?

yeah you can just run all new boost lines. from the nipple on the plenum to the solenoid and then to a tee peice, from the tee to the 2 wastgate actuators,,, all new, you could take the other pipes off alltogether if you wanted. Oh and dont forget to block off the hose coming from the air connector- the dark blue pipe/hose on the diagram.

OK thanks for the info. I will be checking this saturday.

why do need to block of the blue hose in the diagram between the two wastegates ? mines still connected and seems to run/idle/boost perfectly !

If the blue line isnt blocked off you will have an air/vacume leak cause that joins to the inlet pipe from the airflow meter.So if im correct it will be sucking in unmetered air ,does that make sense?

the blue hose that goes into the inlet pipe between the 2 wastgates ? follow that around and it goes to the old boost control solenoid....thats not in use anymore so can it still get a pressure leak?

if thats the case il block it, got no probs with the car at all but might aswell do it lol

Im not sure it can leak if still conected to the stock solenoid,if your cars runs fine it mustn"t leak, but it cant hurt to block it off..up to u i guess :D

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
