I run a 4 port solenoids, however I don't recommend it for everyone.

In the past when I could be bothered working on other people's car for beer and cash I would generally fit 3 ports sourced from efisolutions aka taarks back in the day.

what fitting style do you use?

I actually fitted 3AN Teflon lines from the valve to the wastegate.

Had too many issues with hoses popping off at the track so full sent it with AN fittings.

 

And Birrong Automotive are great, love their RBs.

just a couple more questions:

- i was the told the r32 tps is better than 33/neo tps because it has a 'longer/bigger/larger' pulse and that i should run that instead

- was also told to run a slytech 2 wire universal iacv too instead of the stock iacv on a plazmaman plenum because the coolant spring in the stock iacv can cause problems

anyone care to advise?

Not sure what ecu you have again but if it's capable, why not just go DBW throttle body. No need for iacv and probably TPS too. I'm sure @Dose Pipe Sutututu will be here in a moment to say exactly this.

Throw the TPS, cable throttle, idle control valve, aux air valve out and go DBW.

I wish I did this sooner, superb idle control, no issues with big cams and AC, etc.

Not to mention you can now setup cruise control too.

ok i bought a plazmaman inlet with a 74 dbw, but that means i need to buy a link g4ret and also need to buy a pedal and mount so it comes down to paying like $500 more compared to throttle cable setup.

it better be worth it.

WTF does that even mean? Is he talking about the deletion of the idle switch in favor of voltage-based idle detection? All standalone ECUs to my knowledge ignore physical idle switches.

If you want DBW to be worth it just add cruise control and traction control to the tune, maybe DBW-based rev limiting to get a no-compromise soft cut while you're at it. There's more you can do but those three alone are pretty big headline features you can do "for free" that are kind of a disaster to implement on traditional cable throttle. In theory you can also implement tricks like automatic rev-matching too.

Nice! I’m yet to get my car with the new DBW setup tuned but already is definitely worth it! Check out www.iee.nz they have dbw pedals that fit stock location and stock pedal pads for that true OEM fit, he also has the right size rubber grommets to fill the cable hole. I wish I found them before I went the 350z pedal with adaptor route… are you keeping the factory oil/water heat exchanger?

It is, especially when you can control the pedal curve, which cannot be done on a traditional setup unless you swap the the throttle wheels and that's still garbage because it's generally a fixed curve.

If you've ever driven a car with a large cable throttle you'll notice it's ver touchy at low RPMs, you can get rid of that behaviour with DBW and exponentially ramp in the DBW TP vs. your Accelerator Pedal Position (APP).

And lastly superior cold start, idle control.

so as far as im aware you can either

1- buy a bosch dbw pedal and mount it onto the chassis https://www.bosch-motorsport-shop.com.au/accelerator-pedal-module

2- Buy an adapter plate that lets you mount a 350z or BA/BF falcon dbw pedal onto skyline chassis stock position https://rbfactory.shop/products/ls1-drive-by-wire-pedal-mount-to-nissan-silvia-skyline

3-  or buy a ready built one like this https://www.iee.nz/product-page/gtr-electronic-pedal-conversion?currency=AUD

 

ive found the adaptor for supras to mount on the bosch dbw pedal, but i cant find one for r34 skylines

I went with the Outsider Garage adaptor with 350z/350gt pedal. My recommendation would be the iee unit.

this one? it says for r34 gtr but i got gtt. would it fit? also im guessing that doesnt come with pedal and you need to install your oem one in it? so this product just lines up and bolts directly onto the oem position

Correct. All you need is the pedal pad.

I can’t confirm if the accelerator pedal fits the GTT, but I assume it would. A quick google search shows that the pedal pad should at least fit..

send Stefan (owner of iee) a message, he’s really good to deal with and may have been asked before.

its alright i already got the gtr metal pedal to fit gtt rod, just had to bore out the little plastic thing that sits inside the rod and the pedal

theres also this one

To be fair. It doesn’t matter which pedal you go with, as long as it bolts up. The software manages the rest.

just check the compatibility of a GTR pedal into a GTT and you’re away

im not going to do it but im just curious, do you have an idea about the wiring? where do wires from pedal go, where do wires from tb go and where does the link g4ret fit in? i think i may need a second expansion loom.  this setup is costing me $2400

Wiring is pretty simple. The pedal and the throttle wire directly to the ecu. Remember you’re removing the aac and tps, so should free up some I/O at the ECU At the same time.

the pedal is essentially 2x tps sensors. It has 2x 5v, 2x signal ground and 2x signal wires. The 5v and signal ground can be common. So 4 wires total.

the throttle is essentially the same but with 12v stepper motor wires.

also remember that there is some re-routing of coolant hoses under the plenum when doing DBW. Check my build thread for info if you need.

So I’m guessing my plug in g4+ requires a link e throttle module?

It appears so... I run Haltech, so I’m not familiar with link ecu.

Is it still okay to use the collector intake gasket, the one that sits between top and bottom half stock intake manifold? Like it was a new gasket that was put on and bolted down but the engine was never ran with it on.

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
