Boost solenoid issues

Boost solenoid plumbing

Hi. Sorry I know that this will have been covered many time but I'm struggling to find any information and some of old post pics not working... also not getting any help from the UK sites.

I have a R33 1995 gtst.

I have a hdi front mount intercooler fitted hybrid turbo with the actuator that plumbs back to the turbo itself. Im taking it to local tuner for remap soon but need to get it running on standard ecu and boost solenoid so I can get a mot before remap.

My problem is I'm not sure where to plumb in the boost solenoid pipes. The hdi intercooler pipe doesn't have a vacuum nipple and as said above the turbo actuator pipe goes back into the turbo. Help please

You can use the fitting on the turbo outlet as the boost (not vacuum) source. Is the bleed line to the BOV return hose still connected?

If you have the original pipes there was a restrictor in one ( think it was the boost supply pipe). If you haven't got it don't worry for a temporary set-up... you will just make a little less boost.

The supply goes to the T and the other side of the T goes to the actuator. The third leg of the T goes to the boost solenoid (doesn't matter which connection) and the other connection on the boost solenoid goes to the Bov return.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

All hoses are off as stripped down to fit new turbo. Doesn't need to boost much just as long as it runs ok for mot.

Going to have a play with it this weekend hopefully but depending on weather and as you probably know uk weather is never good

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
