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

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
