which wire in the ecu do u planning on hooking it up ?

i made a little switch for someone ages ago.. it had a led on it that used to flash when it was on etc.... there was 3 pins..

1 went to the power source, 1 to the ground and other one to the power source (white wire i believe) on the solenoid (not the ground wire like normal.. but we did permanantly ground the ground wire..)

if that helps at all

Well I just did mine last night and it works a treat. I actually got the switch upside down but I don't care. Mounted the switch on the dash behind the wiper wand and put the ground wire on the transmission bolt rather than in the engine bay. Shaweet!!!!!!

did u end up hooking it up to a wire on the ecu ??

not trying to be a smart ass :( im just curious as to which wire it goes to on the ecu ??

Yes. I did it as per my previous post

ya but which wire on the ecu did u hook it upto ???

All I did was snip the black wire which runs from the ECU to the actuator. I didn't touch the white (power) wire, and put a switch to connect the black wire back up. I didn't touch the power wire as I didn't use an illuminated switch.

My setup is abit different from everyone else's. Is it still ok to do this mod since the 2nd solenoid nipple is being used?

And if so, which wire goes to ground, white or black?

Your setup is the way it should be Wink, the way it was when your car left the factory. All the pictures on this thread except this one are horrible mutations (like mine :)).

hey sorry if this is a bit off topic but does anyone know where the return air tubing on the solenoid goes to? i know it goes back to the intake somewhere but i cant find the exact spot. my solenoid has been removed and i wanna check if the hole has been plugged up properly.

Pics would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks!

this could be the most stupid question on this thread, but -

if i were to pick up one of these boost controllers and a guage, could i replace the standard solenoid with it? im an ex XF falcon man - this sh*t is space age to me, and i respect those of you who understand it and pass on your knowledge and tricks!

if it is possible to substitute the solenoid with a boost controller, what happens with the pos and neg wires from the ecu?

Sorry about the late reply.

Yes, you substitute the solenoid with the boost controller...as the solenoid essentially does the same thing just that instead of allowing more boost it actually limits your boost.

You need to install the bleeder on the pipe going between your intake pipe (after turbo) and your wastegate actuator:

Its the pipe with the white joiner bit in the middle. By looking at your boost controller I would assume you would first plug the line into the nipple marked with the arrow, then plug the other end into the remaining nipple but if that doesnt work, try the other way around. Shouldnt matter anyway.

Hope it helps

hey guys, i just got myself a turbotech boost tap, can you help me install it, this pic, which is someone elses is clear enough to show me which hoses connects up etc....basically can you use microsoft-paint or sumthin to show me which end of my boost tap goes to which part on the intake/solenoid....hope thats easy to understand, even just labelling which hose is will help out, (ie wastgate actuator hose)

i'm really new to all this but would like to do this myself

thanks

p.s do i need to return this high boost mod to factory before installing the boost tap?as i heard this mod limits the boost from going over factory levels?

Edited by nsta

can any tell me which pin the black wire goes to on the ecu? Just so that i can do the whole mod from inside the car?

& why can't i just connect the 2 pipes up that go to the solenoid to get the same effect?

Q..and is this trick worth while doing if you have a boost tap?

A>.if you already have a mbc, this wont do anthing for you as you have already replaced the boost solenoid with the mbc

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
