I think you might be confusing the actuator and the Solenoid.

The actuator is doing something and is required to open the wastegate. The solenoid is what you earthed.

Removing the Solenoid will undo this mod and give less Maximum boost.

Quick question

Is this mod pointless if i am going to be putting a boost controller in my R33 or should i do it so it sits at 7psi down low then the admired 11-12psi in the top end from the boost controller? I want to run 7psi down low and 11 or 12 top end.

Cheers

R33 turbo has 5psi waste gate spring. The solenoid bleeds it to 7 or whatever the max pressure is set from factory. Boost controller will essentially bypass/replace the solenoid.

Awesome thanks for the easy answer. :) I realised boost controller would replace it after i went out and looked at the solenoid today. My mistake

Why on earth would you want to run lower boost down low? That's heaps pointless.

So I'm assuming this works with rb25 neo in my stag. I've got a boost t will that effect this mod? Because I feel a massive gain in boost once over around 4000rpm...

Any help appreciated guys. Cheers.

If the Stock Solenoid is there and connected and you are feeling a Boost increase at 4-4500rpm then yes.

If you earth it, you will get that Extra Boost Always.

Should be OK but you could just wind in some more Boost with the T and eliminate the Solenoid completely.

In theory 10psi should be in the safe zone for the turbo but there's too many variables and Luck to be sure it's ok.

Could blow on 7psi, could last years on 12psi... Who Knows? Fingers crossed.

    • 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    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
