M35 Boost Bleed Valve

[Sage222]

cheers mate. sorry i thought we were onto something different. this is a bit beyond me

[scotty nm35]

Drop around if you like.

Im sure ive got a spare turbosmart bleed valve here so might have a look at doing it this weekend

[jasevr4]

Anyone have tips on how to plumb in a Blitz iColour SBC?

I need to plumb mine in but have nfi where/how..

[Sage222]

cheers Scotty going to have another tinker this weekend though i may just take you up on that

[Sage222]

So its been a couple of 100 k's so i thought id post my final thoughts.. still running it in the original location.. no problems holding boost to redline now. i must say i am in LOVE! this has totally transformed the car! the thing is so much fun now! it must have taken a little while for the computer to learn though it is so nice to drive with plenty of grunt!

I highly recommend this 2 minute mod to anyone still running the factory boost controller. and no error at all for not having it plugged in.

Do the M35's have a "Solenoid valve control system (common on Nissan and Mitsubishi vehicles)"? (As per: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=15262)

I really want to get my I-color installed tonight, just can't get my head around this shit.

Yes....solenoid is just near the injector, knock sensor and o2 sensor plugs.....connects into the intake just after the afm.

Slightly out of my depth here; but I would say so.

There is a stock solenoid that takes in a boost line (comes off a T) and then plumbs back into the intake behind the AFM. IMPUL gave me a nice hand drawn diagram of this (their suggestion to me was to bypass the solenoid – thus the reason for the diagram) but if you’re not sure where the lines are then this should make it reasonably clear. Ive removed the unnecessary Japanese text and arrows in the diagram. Its drawn from the perspective of standing on the passenger side looking down (birds eye view) at the engine. Far left hand side is thus the front of the car – the box at the bottom is the air filter box etc.

That's a pretty mad drawing...

[jasevr4]

So I have this:

Is it as simple as plugging the Blitz "Sequential Valve Unit" from the "IN" line into the T-piece near the oil cap, and plugging the "OUT" line into the intake, completely bypassing the "Boost Control Valve"?

[scotty nm35]

Yep, remove the T and fit the new solenoid between the intake and actuator.

[jasevr4]

Yep, remove the T and fit the new solenoid between the intake and actuator.

Awesome, and so "IN" would be intake, and "OUT" would be actuator?

[scotty nm35]

Yep, obviously the lines will have to be extended. I ran mine to the battery compartment.

[jasevr4]

Tried to keep it all looking fairly factory so I kept the T piece. Confident that the other Blitz Valve Unit is setup right, just wanted to check that these lines are ok. (Will be putting them under all the cabling after, just had them up top for the photo)

Apologies for the shit photo. I have a crap phone and a not so steady hand.

So not sure if my settings are way off or what but I just got 1.3 hkpa on the thing. Waaay too much unless I'm mistaken?

[Dunc]

1.3 hkpa would be ~19psi

[jasevr4]

Previous owner informs me that his settings were "setup for max 14psi".

Dropped the set and gain down a bit. Hopefully get it around the 14psi mark.

[Dunc]

Do you have a seperate boost gauge from the icolour?

[jasevr4]

Do you have a seperate boost gauge from the icolour?

Nope. Would be good if I did just to double check but you figure it'd be accurate.
