I just recently install a Profec A, and from the moment i turned it on, the control/soleniod unit made a heep of wierd 'computer' and clicking sounds. After everything was setup up, the unit still makes these noises when the car is turned off but the ignition is on. It seems to me like the soleniods are constantly opening and closing! Is this supposed to happen? All my vacume hoses are setup correctly, and the controller itself is working fine at controlling boost?

Another query, does anyone have the Profec A instruction manual (pdf or other electronic form?) my email is weq@mooh.org, id apprecaite it!

Thanks for ur help!

Weq - I know that alot of solenoids will make a bit of a sound when it initially turns on, but shouldnt keep making it. A mate had an almost new HKS EVC5 and the guy he bought it off didnt have the in line filters installed and had a lot of blow by oil inside.. Im pretty sure he had similar sounds too you and after a quick clean it stopped the sounds.

Re manual, i downloaded a manual from the net when I had my profec a (needed it to set it up properly). Do a search on google or try trust.com - there is a pdf manual around somewhere!

Noise is normal :) It even says it in the manual, so dont't worry about it

I have emailed you the instructions as well, make sure its set up properly and it should be fine

NOTE - with the learn procedure 'P1', keep doing full boost runs in 3rd and 2nd gears, do as many as possible, as it will make the boost curve more stable, then P2 mode, use 3rd gear

I have found this works the best

Seriously guys, really apprecaite the info! I was a bit confused with the P1 and P2 learning modes and i didnt spend much time in them (without hte manual, i didnt know!) Boost holds decently atm, but its a bit jumpy up top. I'll think i'll do another setup and see if it will hold boost better.

One last question, regarding the learning mode, what boost level does is it supposed to reach during setup? Like stock wasteage levels? or something preset on the unit?

You get into learn mode by holding power and over take boost down for about 6 seconds or so, it will then come up with -

P1 - learns the stock boost curve, do as many runs as possible, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th if you have a nice big long non-cop patrolled road :) Do as many as you can

Press the power button, it will then go into P2 mode. Press the power button again when you are ready to go, and it will start.

This mode is measures pressure drop between turbo and inlet, one full boost (try to start from around 2500rpm until rev-cut) is alll that is needed, if it is sucessful, it will come up with a digital boost gauge, if it doesn't P2 will still be displayed. Keep doing it until it works :D

Good luck

P.S - dAVE, I think I have emailed the manual to you before as well??

    • Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.
    • Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
    • Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
