hey all,

the idea of the switch is a good idea to control when you want highboost or when u want two stage boost.

ANYONE got pics of their switch, or installation of the switch that they could post up.

assuming you cut the black wire and ground it, without using a switch.

just a quick question?

is this mod reversible? like if u want the two stage boost again without using a switch. further down the track could u reattach/solder the black wire through its original path again? or is stuffed once cut?

hopefully someone can help?

Cheers :laugh:

I would imagine that you could solder the wire again, I just bought a 4 buck switch from supercheap, and mounted it in the dash I drilled a hole in the removable pushout panel thing, its just a simple on off switch,

I cbf running the wire through the firewall so i ran it next to the loom that follows the strut and continues to the wiper motor, then into the gaurd and the door, i know crap way of doing it but it works, BTW heres a pic or two! :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Just did this on my R34 this afternoon, it works..it's now hitting 8psi at about 2,500rpm.

Will be hooking up a switch next weekend to switch between high boost & low/hi boost.

Also, in the pic it looks like the black wire to the plug is still connected but it's not - it's just tucked back into the black surround.

Question:When I put on a full turbo back 3 inch exhaust this will be rendered unnecessary, correct?

No. The only time it will be unnecessary is when you have some form of boost controller that will be bypassing the stock solenoid.

Seriously man... its the most simple job ever...

I just shoved a cotter pin down the back of the plug.. and grounded it to the airbox.. I can remove the mod within seconds and no cutting wires at all

No. The only time it will be unnecessary is when you have some form of boost controller that will be bypassing the stock solenoid.

I thought if the boost solenoid was left standard and I added a full exhaust which usually will up the boost by 2psi then the solenoid would be made obsolete?

no, instead of being 5psi/7psi (on an R33, not sure if its the same boost on R34's?) it will then be 7psi/9psi

I hoped it would be like that :P

So it's been tried & proven to be that way?

As far as im aware.. my exhaust is only catback.. However im running around 9.5 PSI... Blitz Turbo timer tell me 0.71 kg/cm2 (which equals 9.5psi) and just installed a boost gauge.. it also reads just under 10 psi

Is that possible with only catback?

Before the mod it was 7/9psi

hey i did this on my 33gtst and its poping and crap well by the way its a S1 4 speed auto , 600x300x75 intercooler and a 3.5inch stainless from cat back and i did this thing by cut the black wire and the black wire onto the car body and the black wire from the computer taped to block it . now took it up the street and it will get to 5 psi then it will just back fire and pop and jump or what ever eles .. then i put it all back to normal then it was fine . i wanted to do this thing , but can anyone tell me how to solve this problem . or anyone from lismore or ballina . cheers, adam

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
