re34perGTT Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi all I'm doing a boost controller and fmic instal link http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454062-car-making-0-boost-after-ebc-and-fmic-install/ It wasn't working and I decided to take off the fmic and put the smic back on I did this then started my car. The stock boost sensor was working now and it climbed slightly. I revved my car and the greddy ebc got to around -99. I stopped revving it and switched my car off and the turbo timer kicked in. While this happened it sounded like the car died then started back up then died and started back up. It was like a sort of stop stutter thing. I ran to pull the negative terminal out the battery to make it stop. There was slight grey smoke coming out of the engine at this point too. Car was going fine before I removed the fmic I just put in and installed the smic.also I didn't tighten any hoses which connect the afm or smic as I was going to take it off again shortly. Can someone please help. I'll try find a mechanic that can help but please can someone give some help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Were you driving or just revving the car? If just revving I'm sure you wouldnt have killed the engine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7484386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
re34perGTT Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just revving it. Also before I put I'm stock smic back in I blew into one of the connecting pipes for any dust etc. maybe moisture could've gotten In to the engine ?

Ben C34 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Moisture doesn't kill an engine. Water injection squirts water into the engine. Sounds like you are freaking out for no real reason yet. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7484411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryRB Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I wouldn't stress over it, id put the fmic on and tighten all pipes properly, then just set up wastegate as stock until you can figure out or find some to install it properly.. it would be stalling because the pipes were loose, so a vacuum leak Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7484412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Replace the short, un-teed piece of hose to your fuel pressure reg, the way it was before you did the EBC install and never touch that line again. Put the original hoses for boost control back. Make sure all your IC pipe clamps are tight. See what it does then. Oh, and f**k that turbo timer off. You don't need it. No-one has ever needed one. Just do the turbo cool down manually. And they are illegal anyway. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7484413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
re34perGTT Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Okay cheers guys. I did freak the f**k out a bit aha. If I re connect the fuel pressure regulator the way it was then how would I wire in the boost controller ? Also I know about the turbo timer but when I purchased my car it had one and I have no clue where it is ? Started to think gtt's came stock with a built in one because I have no clue where it is and I was told the car was completely stock upon purchase (which besides a pioneer head unit it was) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7484414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiRS4T Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 As above Put the FMIC back in and make sure all the hoses are tight and remove the T from the fpr line. As for a boost source - the line you blocked off on the bov return pipe was for the bleed line - you must have had another line to supply boost to the original boost solenoid (normally from the pipe going to the intercooler).

GTSBoy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The factory boost sensor is connected to the back end of the plenum. That's the BEST place to get a signal for other gauges or EBC on a Skyline. The EBC install manuals only tell you to use the FPR signal line because that one is available on pretty much every car. Even if it isn't the smartest option. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7484490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryRB Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) It shouldn't be that hard to connect a EBC, it needs a source of pressure, it needs to be connected to the wastegate, then it needs to be able to bleed that pressure off, simple as that.. on my apexi, one end of the solenoid has the tube connected to the FPR, other end to the wastegate, simple as that, the solenoid has its one hole to bleed pressure off and control boost, the electrics plug in to controller and that's it..

re34perGTT Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm located in Perth and I think I solved the problem with the car stuttering but there's still no boost. My cars drivable now so I think I'll just drive it to a workshop to fix it up then tune my ebc on their dino and get a tune while I'm there. Thanks for the help guys !

KiwiRS4T Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You won't be getting a tune unless you have an aftermarket ecu. If you plan to increase power in the future look into getting a Nistune chip.

re34perGTT Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Already got a second ecu with a nistune chip in it sitting at home ready to go.

GTofuS-T Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Also I know about the turbo timer but when I purchased my car it had one and I have no clue where it is ? Do you have an alarm/immobilizer installed? Some of them have a built in turbo timer, so find your model / manual and have fun trying to reprogram it, usually a sequence of turning the key on/off a million times at exact intervals.. haha... good fun...

re34perGTT Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well I bought it from a dealer so legally there needs to be an immobilizer but I have no clue on what one it is. I'll have a look at it later and try see if I can disable it because it's annoying Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454075-is-my-car-fd-urgent-help/#findComment-7485087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
